Lady Gaga’s calls for “revolutionaries of love” at Europride
The American pop star called for “revolutionaries of love” and “full equality now” allowing same-sex couples in a speech before she performed before hundreds of thousands of participants of this year’s Europride held in Rome.
Lady Gaga has strongly condemned the Vatican’s opposition to homosexuality and disagrees with the church’s claims that it is a form of ‘disordered’ behavior.
The American pop star called for “revolutionaries of love” and “full equality now” allowing same-sex couples in a speech before she performed for hundreds of thousands of participants of this year’s Europride held in Rome.
While the pop diva is calling for empowered homosexuals, she did not forget to mix business with advocacy and quipped remembering to promote her latest album “Born This Way” in her speech before the performance.
“We're all from the same DNA. We were just born this way,” Lady Gaga was quoted as wittingly speaking for same-sex couples without forgetting to promote her album.
“I stand here as a woman of the world and I ask governments, with you, worldwide to facilitate our dream of equality,” the Alejandro hitmaker said, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
She added, “Let us be revolutionaries of love and use our very strong human powers to save lives and encourage unity around the world.”
An estimated 1 million participants took to the streets to shout for equality and empowerment of same-sex couples. Citing a report by the Agence France Presse, the Sydney Morning Herald noted that Lady Gaga’s speech came following the parade in Rome where the rallyists openly condemned the position on gay rights of both the governments of the Vatican and Italy.
The news website reiterated that Italy remains a European state with no law against “homophobic violence” and no provisions allowing gay civil marriage.
This is not the first for Lady Gaga to use her star power to advocate for a cause. The singer is among the early Hollywood artists to have declared support for the victims of the twin disaster in Japan on March 11, 2011.
