Lady Gaga's Grammy speech champions transgender rights
At this year's Grammy Gala, Lady Gaga not only collected the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance but also expressed her support for transgender individuals who have recently faced attacks from Donald Trump.
We just witnessed the 67th Grammy Awards Ceremony, which was always full of emotion. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won one of the music awards for their track "Die With A Smile." Naturally, they also appeared on stage to collect their statuettes.
Lady Gaga did not hide her emotions during her acceptance speech. The singer, who has been a steadfast ally of sexual minorities since the start of her career, highlighted the LGBTQ+ community in her address.
It’s such an honor to sing for all of you. I just want to say tonight that trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love. Thank you - Gaga said emotionally, tears in her eyes.
Lady Gaga delivered an emotional speech
The star's speech received loud applause and cheers from familiar faces in the audience, who rose from their seats immediately. In recordings that have already appeared on social media, we can see the reactions of Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish, among others. The appeal was, of course, related to Donald Trump's recent attacks on the LGBTQ community.
Before his official return to the White House, the Republican announced that he would seek to put an end to what he called "transgender madness". Consequently, President Donald Trump signed orders aimed at, among other things, limiting healthcare tailored to transgender youth. He also deemed transgender members of the US military as "unfit" for service and signed an order stating that "there are only two genders".
