Juggernaut songstress Lady Gaga's not afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to her gays, and in a taped recording with On the Record with Fuse, which airs Nov. 23, Gaga tackled homophobia and misogyny in hip hop. The openly bisexual singer appealed to her lesbian and gay fans yet again, speaking out against hate.
Juggernaut songstress Lady Gaga's not afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to her gays, and in a taped recording with On the Record with Fuse, which airs Nov. 23, Gaga tackled homophobia and misogyny in hip hop.
"I feel even just in the music industry that there's very public misogynistic and homophobic behavior," the "Bad Romance" singer told the show earlier this month.
Gaga, who has admitted to dalliances with women and says her break-out song "Poker Face" is about bisexuality, went on to say, "When I hear one of the most famous rappers in the world say something homophobic on the radio, I want people to yell at him."
The young star, famous for her avant garde fashion sense, refused to name the rapper citing that the person knows who they are. She also added that hip-hop is not the only culprit when it comes to anti-gay sentiment in the music industry.
"I'm not trying to create and generate more hatred in the world," she said.
"I just want to generate awareness," said Gaga, who spoke at the National Equality March in Washington DC in October. "It's always wrong to hate but it's never wrong to love."
