Lady Gaga Protest: How Is The Plight Of LGBTQ In The US With Donald Trump In The White House?
The United States Election saga finally concluded but an old spark of human rights movement got the support of Lady Gaga. While the President-elect claimed he is a friend to the LGBT Community, his actions do not complement with appointing people to his Cabinet.
The social progress that advocates worked on and supported by the Government in the past eight years is on the brink of going back to the LGBT Community barbaric years. Social discrimination, stigma, fear, and hate crime resurface as Donald Trump appointed people in Key Government Department known adversaries of the LGBT Cause.
Lady Gaga started to make her own move to back up and support the LGBT movement. She said, "Political progress cannot happen unless there is social progress." She expressed on BBC News that even if the government can create job and make policies to give stable economy, there will be no harmony unless workers do not like each other.
Aside from Gaga, other Celebrities are doing their part for the LGBT People. Miley Cyrus created the Happily Hippie Foundation dedicated to homeless and LGBT Youth. During the Human Rights Campaign in 2014, actress Ellen Page came out as gay.
LGBT representation in the media, sincerely called by "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington saying "We need more LGBT characters and more LGBT storytelling. We need more diverse LGBT representation, and by that, I mean lots of different kinds of LGBT people living all different kinds of lives."
Other stars supporting the LGBT sector are Anne Hathaway, Daniele Radcliff, Lena Dunham, Matthew Morrison, Brad Pitt, and Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen expressed in her acceptance speech in an award-giving body saying she is glad for being accepted. There is a time in her life where she felt different and then being chosen never occurred to her.
The clash of opinion is now between celebrities advocating for LGBT Rights against the incoming Government of President-elect Donald Trump. The danger of LGBT lives is at the brink unless everyone will stand to make a change for social progress.
