8 TIM LADY GAGA EARNED HER ‘GAY IN’ TLE
For over a , Stefani Joanne Angela Germanotta, Lady Gaga for short, has had one clear objective md: to promote the gay agenda.
And The Lady is the first one to adm : one of her first ver story terviews (Out, September 2009), Gaga said that she wanted to “ject gay culture to the mastream. So I always sort of joke the real motivatn is to jt turn the world gay. ” But now, seems, Mother Monster has lated her own ambns for a queerer world: she has managed to turn an epic pillar of queer culture – a classic mil movie whose ma character has been portrayed by both Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand – to an even gayer film.
