Juanjo 2,151 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I agree with her. She's not a gay icon, but a fervent supporter of our rights. We all know not all gay people like her, or her music, but can acknowledge and respect what she does for the Gay community. I love how she's not letting labels define who she is.

Gaga is Life 101 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've always seen her as one, I think she is. I don't know why she said this, maybe she doesn't want to be seen as one by the general public... even though she is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCollins 0 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 That's not really something she can decide though is it? It's just something that happens, especially when you're so involved with the gay community. I'm glad she does't call herself one though, it would make her look pretentious.

MrMojoRisin 227 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 In a 2008 issue of DNA Magazine (a gay men's magazine from Australia) Gaga was interviewed and said, "I am so excited to be a gay icon, which is what I am in America now. If I play a gay club in America it's packed to the brim and they all know every word." This quote comes from DNA issue #106. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karandr 150 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It seems like a weird thing to say. I mean, she's clearly a gay icon, whether she asked to be/declared herself one or not. I think that maybe what she meant to (?) or should have said is "I'm not the spokesperson of 'the gays'." Because a lot of people inside the queer community do deride her because they see her as "speaking for the gays" -- something I personally don't think she does or tries to do, but I can understand their frustration. If I remember correctly she tried saying that once before (teal wig era) but it was kind of ignored. Long story short, I don't get why she's denying being a gay icon. So weird...
