wasn’t it also the first chart topper to explicitly mention LGBT people?

Not just for the gays, it is the ultimate an anthem for all LGBTQ's, racial minorities, anyone who felt like something is wrong with them or that they didn't belong (but yes more ingrained into LGBTQ communities)

When fans say Marry The Night should have been the lead single, this is precisely why I have to disagree. 

The way this song impacted every gay boy and girl who didn't feel secure in themselves, wouldn't have been the same had this song come out as the second or third act in the album roll-out. 

I'm so very thankful to and proud of everyone involved in this album and especially this song.

I agree with the older posters on this thread: It was truly shocking to hear such a huge song talk about us as if we were just normal. Just huge.

Frankly, it's probably my least favorite major Gaga single speaking  musically, but its importance is off the charts. At her absolute imperial phase peak she wrote a lead single about us. Pretty fing cool.

I believe it was the first with the word trans.
