Gaga’s Grammy Advocacy: Trans Visibility Amidst Political Backlash
At the Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga used her acceptance speech for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance to advocate for transgender rights, declaring that trans people deserve love and are not invisible. This powerful statement comes amidst President Trump’s recent executive orders targeting the transgender community, including measures restricting transgender individuals’ military service and access to gender-affirming healthcare. Gaga’s outspoken support highlights the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and reflects her long-standing commitment to LGBTQ+ youth through her Born This Way Foundation. The singer’s actions underscore the critical need for continued advocacy and allyship.
