Dear Lady GaGa,
Hope you're doing fabulous as usual. I can't put to words how forward I was looking to 2011 because you would be releasing your 3rd studio effort. On the MTV Video Awards last year, you announced your album title Born This Way, and I fell in love with it instantly. I've been waiting for it ever since and I seriously can't wait for May 23rd when you would take over the world once again.
I am really looking forward to the Grammy this year as it will the first ever live performance of your new song Born This Way. And we all know that nobody can quite put on a show like you do!
When I first read about the title, I just knew that it would be something in relation to homosexuality and being allowed to love and live free no matter how you are. I can't put into words how much I agreed to the message of this song. It solidified my ideology of how a person's sexuality is something that is defined at birth and no matter how much you try, nobody can choose to be straight, gay or bi or even switch between any of them. It's a choice already made for you and you have to live with it!
On January 27th when you released the lyrics for Born This Way. I am really happy that you expanded your song's theme to beyond the borders of homosexuality and have included just about any type of discrimination under the sun. However I do have a little issue that I can't digest.
I do not want to see you go down in flames but I feel that with this song you maybe pushing the envelope abit too far and abit too much. I had not heard it back then but I was still willing to give it a listen. I genuinely believe in your artistic creativity, however I still can't get over the lyrics.
I am a small time supporter of transsexuals, however I find this line extremely degrading towards them. Essentially the term 'Drag Queen' is not an insult and was coined by transsexuals themselves, but from the line in the song it makes me feel that Drag Queen is an insult!
As I said before I am a fan of yours and I love yours songs, however your lyrics have received a wide range of criticism. You have been called from 'Devil's daughter' to 'The Ultimate Fag Hag' to 'Hermaphrodite Psycho' who can't sing to save her life. I commend you that you didn't let any of that break you down. However the people who like your songs, are now alienated and classified as Monsters. As every celebrity's fans decide upon a name for their legion, you have aptly named yours 'Monsters'. You're amazingly talented, however turning hate into positivity is something even you can't manage.
Another thing that irks me is how some of your fans have raised you to Godhood. The term adoration and idolatry worship has gone to a completely new level ever since you have started speaking out for LGBT Rights. I love that you're just one little soul who's doing so much for us. However the more people gravitate towards you, the more gays and straights get separated. I believe the mission is to unite us. It really isn't possible when many of your fans hold ridiculously messed up notions about you in their pretty little heads. I'm no hater, but the next time I hear someone say 'Oh My GaGa!' I would do an African war cry and punch them square on their nose.
Today, February 11th, you have finally released the much waited track Born This Way. Am I in love with it? A little bit! Am I going to be singing it on the top of my lung? Only when I am alone. I would commend that you have indeed created the perfect collaboration between disco and pop music, this would probably be the Pride Anthem for the next hundred years. You're message of self-love is clear, I commend you for keeping your lyrics simple and clean.
I love you - in normal amounts. I love your songs - in normal amounts. You can do alot and perhaps you will. You want people to be themselves, but be a popstar and not a pop monster!

Don't be a drag - just be a queen
