The Lady’s Going GaGa for Equality!

Lady Gaga is set to hit the streets of Washington D.C. this weekend in support of the campaign for equality for LGBT citizens. The 23-year-old entertainer will lead the National Equality March this weekend and is asking all Americans to join her in the struggle against inequality.

Lady Gaga stated: “On October 10th and 11th, I will be in Washington, D.C. to lend my support to the National Equality March. This march is a call to action for all people from all over the country to gather to march to be visible as one and to speak out and demand full equal rights for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered citizens in all 50 states. If we see ourselves as free and equal people, then we need to act as free and equal people. Now is the time to act so get your ass to D.C. and lend your support. Lend your voice and demand to be heard. I hope to see you there.”

Even though I don’t believe her support will carry much weight with the above 40 population, it definitely should impact the under 40 segment and it’s great to see young support in the face of this struggle. It’s great to see people who are in the public eye become involved as they serve as role models for younger generations. Hopefully she carries a bigger impact then the likes of the conservative, anti-equality ditz, who just a few short months ago was facing the struggle of winning a tiara.
