[Warning: I will actually be criticising white people, lady gaga and several sacred cows of white culture]
Lady Gaga is all the rage. She loves her some gay people and she even sings a song that takes up the banner of gay rights - "Born This Way".
Before anyone derails this into a conversation about music (it's not), my taste (I have none), why I don't like gaga (I think she's talented enough), any theory of me being anti-LGBTQI (wrong again, camel-breath) or my dislike for white people (I am white and harbor no such thoughts) - be clear: this is about the institutionalized cultural appropriation has been served up to and consumed by cis-gendered, heteronormative white audiences.
These are the lies we are told in order to maintain division and inequality by those who profit from our ignorance and cruelty toward each other.
