In conclusion, I would like to sum up that Lady Gaga gives truth to the rumor that you can’t judge a book by its cover and that nothing ever is as simple as it seems. From analyzing all of her songs I have learned so much about being a TRUE musical artist and genius. She does not just have standard Top 40 songs about the standard sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll but they can all be dissected to be so much more in regards to matters of human and gay rights. She takes a stand for minority groups of all kinds as a phenomenal show stopper and I have a true respect for what she does as an artist. She allows me to have an open mind to vast ways of interpreting important issues in our world like sex trafficking, GLBTIQ issues, and homosexuality in the military. She uses the media as a strong political tool to her advantage. After reading Joseph Schwartz’s article Investigating Differences in Public Support for Gay Rights Issues in the Journal of Homosexuality, he brought up the point that only 30% of the public favors same sex marriage and only another 50% favor same-sex parent adoption. I feel that these numbers could rapidly increase exponentially if more people spoke out and popularized the situation in the public sector. People are so quick to judge, but it is often because they have not seen any other side presented to them, so they are just stuck with the same opinions. I am happy that Lady Gaga does the work that America so desperately needs and with her help, we can together quit turning a cold shoulder to matters that are important to a great number of downtrodden and pushed-aside Americans.
