Lady Gaga recently stood up against transphobic hate directed at her and Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer/activist, after they shared a post for International Women’s Day. Gaga expressed her dismay at the hateful responses, emphasizing that such hatred is violence, not just backlash. She highlighted the need to create a more inclusive society that values transgender lives.

Gaga shared her thoughts on the importance of celebrating all women equally and recognizing the complexity of transgender life. She emphasized the need for love, acceptance, and understanding, stating that people deserve better than to have hatred labeled as backlash.

Gaga has been a strong ally of the LGBTQ+ community, dedicating her song “Born This Way” to the transgender community during her Las Vegas residency. She encouraged people to speak up for trans rights and to listen to the stories of real people’s lives.

Gaga’s support comes at a critical time, as there has been an increase in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, particularly targeting transgender youth and gender-affirming care.
