Confession: Lady Gaga

Alright now I have to be honest, I've been hiding it inside for a while now but I need to come clean.

I hate Lady Gaga.



WHAT.

It's not a little hate either, I really can't stand anything about her. She's dresses weird, she looks weird, I'm not a fan of her songs: I don't like her. And the problem isn't so much that I don't like contemporary music, I have my  favorites and honestly I generally take an interest in any genre of music. Plus Lady Gaga sings some parts of her songs in French, you would think I would love that.
Well I don't.

Why is this okay?
Here's the heart of the issue, and it sounds absolutely stereotypical and awful, but I don't like what she stands for. Why is she the biggest activist for LGBT right and also regarded as a huge sex symbol?? NO. It is totally contradictory that she is "the next Madonna," and she does NOT deserve to wear both titles. It's fine that she is a LGBT promoter but that should be the only crown associated with her name.
And the truth is that she has changed the world, but it is up for debate whether it is for the best.
I'm going to sound like a HUGE hypocrite.

Way back when in the simple, old'n times there was no such thing as being anything other than beautiful, plain heterosexual. Then Lady Gaga decided to stir the pot and promote coming out of the closet - which was awesome!- to an extent. But now instead of the occasional men and women proudly announcing their true sexuality, every person who has an erotic thought has to declare their love for their sex.
Nowadays it's hard to find a man who's straight, back then it was never even a doubt!



I understand how contradictory I sound compared to my last blog but I can't help illuminate my increasing dislike at this abundance of overly-gay pride. In modesty, gay pride is wonderful. I absolutely support the gays, but this overflow is overwhelming.
And Lady Gaga is the direct cause for it.

There's no turning back from this point, no way to edit the situtation. It is what it is. But its getting a little too extreme for my taste.
