I read in my local paper that this song has been declared a "New Gay Anthem". Who decides these things? THIS AIN'T NO ANTHEM OF MINE!!!!
I don't see why it's specificly a gay anthem. It's about loving yourself the way you are. It's a good message for everyone.

People have been proclaiming Gaga to be some gay icon since the release of The Fame, and for the life of me I can't see why. Maybe they misread all the album covers and magazines and Internet articles as Lady Gaygay?

Because she's an admitted bisexual, and has done a great deal of activism on the LGBT commnunity's part.

Okay, one, sexual orientation has nothing to do with how often you have sex, and two, what does that link have to do with Lady Gaga? O_o;

Wound up using this song as the finale to my Lady Gaga jukebox musical, albeit in a much more grimdark contest-instead of a celebration of the right to be different, it's used to demonstrate a That Man Is Dead/Ret-Gone/The Bad Guy Wins/Split-Personality Takeover situation.

Lady Gaga's career path is going to resemble Ministry's, if With Sympathy had sold assloads.

Or perhaps Billy Joel’s if Attila had sold assloads. [lol]

I've decided that famous people tend to bring out bad things in most people. It doesn't matter whether the person actively likes them or actively dislikes them-celebrities tend to make people dangerously irrational.

@Goomba. Since rock 'n roll and Jazz Piano was what she was playing before she decided to become famous through a combination of Genre Savvy and Crazy Awesome.

My personal interpretation of this song (which fits into my nonstandard Gaga fandom) is that it's not a gay anthem, it's a Villain Song using gays as a philosophical human shield for whatever the fuck Lady Gaga wants to do.

I'm actually currently writing a Lady Gaga Jukebox Musical (previously I had a thread about it but I had it deleted when I decided I'd prefer to finish it before making a thread with a plot summary). Born This Way is the finale, and the context is that it comes immediately after Gaga has killed someone (specifically, her own mother-sister-alternate-self-whatever-the-fuck-it's-kind-of-Mind Screw) in public but noone can see it because of Weirdness Censor. Since the person she killed was her own original personality, Born This Way is a combined attempt at Ret-Gone-ing her old self (who she just killed) and a justification for the various crimes that she's committed over the course of the story.

@P Down- Fuck yes, that sounds amazing.

@inane- You got a problem, take it up with Liberace's ghost.

We must move forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

The first time I heard this song on the radio, it put me in mind of this. I can't understand why; they don't really sound alike.

@faraday: I don't think it's ever been confirmed what exactly Liberace's sexuality was, but he was linked with both men and women. It's likely he was bi, unless one or the other of those was more a lie than it sounds like.

A brighter future for a darker age.

[up] well he sued people for implicating he was gay, I dare say he was gay but covered it up by being seen with women, his denials were a bit too Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?
