The US political atmosphere is going through some major changes. Just hours after taking office, Donald Trump wasted no time in trying to make good on his campaign promises, rolling back a bunch of policies from the Joe Biden era. But with these changes came some pretty major cuts to LGBTQ rights, and it is causing a lot of unrest all across the country. Now, Lady Gaga, who has become a huge symbol in queer culture, has decided to speak up about the growing chaos in America.

President Donald Trump kicked off his second term by reversing a lot of protections for LGBTQ+ people across the United States. Understandably, this move sparked major backlash from those who are determined to protect the community’s rights, including the ever-popular Lady Gaga. Gaga recently told Elle that the “election was devastating” for LGBTQ people’s existence, but she also made it clear that “we’re not going down without a fight.” Gaga further added, “we’ll stick together.

It is not just Gaga—these controversial policies, both before and after the election results came in, have pushed many pop stars to step up and show their support for the community. They have used their platforms to spread messages of solidarity, like Ariana Grande, who shared a series of Instagram Stories shining a light on the struggles the community has faced. Fans have also returned the love and respect to Gaga.

Lady Gaga has always been a loud and proud advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has even been called a modern queer icon. In interviews over the years, she has shared that she is bisexual, which only deepens her connection with the community she has always championed. In fact, back in 2009, during one of her first big cover interviews, Gaga said she wanted to “inject gay culture into the mainstream.” So, it is no surprise that the pop star and actress is deeply affected by the rollbacks that the re-elected government is pushing on the LGBTQ community.

Fans praised Gaga for her queen-like move in openly showing her support for the community.

Lady Gaga has faced public skepticism about her sexual orientation ever since she came out more than a decade ago in an interview with Barbara Walters, especially since she has never had a public relationship with another woman. And even now, when it comes to her recent advocacy, some people still do not see her as an ally or a true part of the community. But despite all the mixed reactions, it is pretty clear that Gaga is deeply passionate about protecting the LGBTQ+ community and is more than ready to fight for them when the time comes.
