Lady Gaga's Controversies

Well, we all know Lady Gaga is the queen of controversies. Whatever she does is news. Here is a quick look at the most famous of her controversies.

Meat Dress: Yes, we all remember the gross MTV Music Awards meat dress that she wore. It was gross for most of the people to see flesh of dead animals on her body. For her it was plain art and a designer outfit by Franc Fernandez.

Burlesque Dancing: Lady Gaga admitted that before she became popular, her main source of income was through burlesque dancing where she used to perform in a thong on stage and sang songs on oral sex.

Nasty Videos: She has been criticized often for her explicit videos. She has shown nudity, masochistic images, sexual and Catholic imagery and even sucked on rosary beads in one of her songs.

Ex Boyfriend Lawsuit: She had to face a $30.5 million lawsuit by her former boyfriend, business partner and producer, Rob Fusari. He claimed he named her and framed her style. Lady Gaga remained quiet throughout and they reached a settlement outside the court.

Breast Milk Ice-cream Episode: When Covent Garden ice cream parlour introduced a new flavor, Baby Gaga, which had vanilla pods, lemon and breast milk, Lady Gaga decided to take legal action against them.

Bisexuality: Lady Gaga is open about her bisexuality. She said, the fact that she is into women, intimidated men and made them uncomfortable.

Lady Gaga Talks About Malaysian Censorship

Lady Gaga is not happy to know that the Malaysian government is censoring her song "Born This Way" because the country consists of conservative majority of Muslims who don't accept LGBT rights.

In Malaysia, homosexuality is taboo and illegal. Many Islamic groups there consider her song's lyrics "No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian or transgendered life" to be very offensive. As a result of this, many of the concerts have been cancelled and often the organizers are fined later for contravening laws governing modesty. Broadcasters have been fined 10,000 pounds for playing her song as well in Malaysia.

Lady Gaga spoke openly about the Malaysian censorship issue regarding her song. She said that the youth of Malaysia should fight for their rights and make their voices heard if they want to hear these words from her song. She said one must fight for liberation from the set rules in a peaceful way.

Well, I am pretty ok with somebody else's sexual orientations and accept LGBT rights. I understand everybody may not be so cool about these things. But I think every society will take time to realize these things are a reality even if laws or religions prohibit such stuff. Even in countries like Malaysia LGBT community would exist quietly. I feel one is gay or lesbian or straight by nature. What's so special if you are straight but your friend is gay? At the end of the day we are all humans. Do we judge someone on the fact that he is gay or lesbian or if he is a decent human being or not?

These are natural things and people should understand that. Anyhow, there is no harm in playing a song because sexual preferences do not depend on such lyrics rather her lyrics merely talk about the general acceptance of people no matter how they are. The bigger and better picture is missed by focusing on individual words like lesbians or transgender etc.

Lady Gaga: Born This Way

Well I think we have talked enough about this girl's dressing sense. I think it's unfair to not mention the good music she produces. I really like her song Born This Way. Yes it does have a touch of Madonna but the song is pretty good and the idea is quite meaningful.
