Fearless, bold, and strong—that is what Gaga means to her fans. In a world where pop stars often timid away from controversy, Lady Gaga has always marched to the beat of her drum and marked her line to just “be yourself”. Her retain identity as a bisexual woman has been a cornerstone of her journey as a gender non-conforming icon. Relentless representation, personal struggles, and unwavering love for the queer society made this gal from New York, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, go up to become one of the most iconic symbols of LGBTQ+ empowerment in the music industry ever since she joined the club.
From her early days performing in Fresh York’s underground clubs to becoming a global superstar, Gaga never hid her true self.

Things Gay Men Like #6: Lady Gaga
Music plays a huge part in the lives of many gay men. Whether they’re carrying out or simply enjoying, music is a passion for many of us. Some people may oppose with me on this, as always, but it is hard to contradict that Lady Gaga has a gigantic gay following.
This week, however, I don’t want to depart into detail about why gay men like Lady Gaga as it’s painfully obvious. She’s gay-friendly, upbeat, and covered in glitter. Of course we favor her. Instead I would like to address a particular trend going around regarding her.
Today I will be writing about gay men who refuse to like her and use others’ interest in her as justification to not take their musical interests seriously.
I don’t care if you don’t like Lady Gaga. You’re entitled to your belief and nobody is going to oblige you to love her music. I get that she’s not for everyone, and her over-the-top antics can be a little bit tiring. I don’t personally enjoy all of her songs, nor do I call myself a “little monster” or anything like that. That said, I think that what she’s doing is incredibly beneficial to LGBT yout

Lesbian, gay, pansexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth make up at least 20 percent of homeless youth in the United States, although they are only about 10 percent of the overall youth population. Both the causes and effects are sobering—but neighbors, policy makers, corporations, and celebrities are taking steps to help.
LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ youth share many of the same reasons for homelessness—including family conflict, physical abuse, substance exploit , and neglect—but for LGBTQ youth, the family conflict may center around their sexual orientation and gender identity, and lead ultimately to rejection by their families.
Richard Hooks Wayman, executive director of the Hearth Connection, a organization working to end homelessness in Minnesota, says that homeless LGBTQ youth “experience enhanced barriers to reunification” because their families reject them.

I became interested in History during my Freshman year when I worked with Dr. Piehler, the Director of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience, on a project through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program. Over the years, through the coursework for the History major, I contain come to realize that History is what I want to do with my life. Eventually, I want to pursue a PhD in History and go into academia. First, I want to receive a few years off from school and obtain some life experience outside of university.
My favorite area of History is the 1960s and 70s in the U.S, particularly the social changes that were going on at the time. But I own also been interested in pop culture. One of my favorite past-times is looking at pop identity magazines and catching up on news and gossip. I had not reflection about pop culture in the context of a History class, and when I saw that Dr. Mooney offered a senior seminar on the theme of pop culture, I thought: “how cool is t
