It happens with every mainstream popstar - emotionally unstable fanatics idolise them because they have delusion complexes and invest so much time in supporting their idol that they fool themselves into thinking they now have something to live for. The only thing GaGa is directly benefitting from these sorts of people? Sales. She can pretend to be an inspirational figure and an icon and a role model and a supportive figure, but the cold reality is she's not going to stop homophobia, she's not going to help every fan through every minor homophobic comment, or abusive bigots in the streets. She's profiteering off of people's insecurities, and whilst it's not directly a bad thing (because she's tolerant (and since WHEN was THAT a good thing in itself? It SHOULD be the norm, not a celebrated aspect)), it's shameful and it's giving credit where credit is not due. She has done nothing to save that man's life. If he was in such a ****ing dark place, 'Alejandro' wouldn't be the thing to save him from it.

If you want to think that, fair enough. I disagree totally.
