Guest Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I’ve been noticing a few comments on this forum just lately that people are surprised about Gaga not saying anything about LGBTQ rights, pride or any other social issues at this current time. Are you disappointed she hasn’t said anything so far? Personally speaking I don’t feel as if she’s a spokesperson for our community and she’s always fought for our rights, she also spoke about issues during the Chromatica Ball tour so I don’t think she’s abandoned us. Plus we need to remember she is a member of our community as an openly bisexual woman, not just an ally or icon! *EDIT* I have just looked at TBTWF social media pages which is Gaga and her moms charity and they’ve been doing a lot so it’s unfair to put all the pressure on Gaga, sometimes especially this occasion actions are more important than words.

Space Cowboy 11,670 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think she's just stepped back from social media, besides promoting her cosmetic business. I imagine it can be toxic to be in the spotlight anywhere, or in this case social media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starmie25 13,932 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Bro, she did so much for the community during the whole pandemic and in return all she received from fans was backlash for not promoting her "latest album" more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it would’ve been an all lose situation in both of the cases, I’m glad she did the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 43,648 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Part of me thinks that Gaga should post something seeing as it doesn't cost a thing and won't do her any harm Another part of me thinks "well we know her views anyway so posting is just shouting into the wind" buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need positive voices now more than ever, with the never ending attacks on our communities these days. I'm hoping that she's actually planning to do something, instead of just saying stuff, just like she did with the pandemic. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

JazzGa 14,514 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think it's dumb to put celebrities on a pedestal and wait behind your keyboard for them specifically to say what you hope they will say and then jump at the opportunity to criticize them when they don't. That's corny armchair slacktivism. Instead of complaining about Random Celebrity XYZ, find the people who are already doing the work you wish to see and support them.

River 106,237 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It might not be good for her mentally, it's not so easy to be a celebrity activist and put yourself in the middle of the fire every single time.. she did more than enough for us, I think it's time for other celebrity who claims that they are allies only when they are promoting an album to speak up.

Obobo 2,702 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 the conservatives are even more hostile towards brands and celebrities that post about the LGBT community these days. I think it’s best she stay silent so the basement dwellers don’t boycott the joker movie… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werewoof 2,389 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think it’s okay to be disappointed, but I’m not personally. I don’t think there’s any doubt where Gaga stands on social issues at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 24,438 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I don't quite care but thinking about it now I feel like she should say something. On the other hand it seems like she only uses social media for Haus Labs and paid promotions nowadays so unless she attends a pride I don't think we'll hear about pride from her this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
