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

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!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;

I actually really like her for saying that.
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.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...Or perhaps Billy Joel’s if Attila
had sold assloads.

...since when does Lady Ga Ga have "rock 'n roll roots"?
@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.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...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.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...@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.
(*OHKOs Liberace's ghost*)
...Now what?

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.

Humour, where would we be without it? In Germany, probably

Gaga is one hell of a drug.
