Lady Gaga a participa la un protest impotriva controversatei legi "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", care ii impiedica pe militarii americani homosexuali sa-si recunoasca explicit sexualitatea.

Cantareata s-a alaturat manifestatiei organizate de asociatia The Service Members Legal Defence Network in Portland, care are ca scop de a-i determina pe senatorii republicani Olympia Snowe si Susan Collins din Maine sa voteze impotriva acestei legi, scrie DailyMail.

De la adoptarea acestei legi, in 1993, circa 14.000 de soldati au fost exclusi din armata pentru ca au vorbit despre homosexualitatea lor sau au fost denuntati.

Anul trecut, presedintele american Barack Obama declara ca si-a luat angajamentul sa abroge legea care le permite homosexualilor sa serveasca in armata doar cu conditia sa isi ascunda orientarea sexuala.

"Voi pune capat (n.r. legii) 'Nu intreba nimic, nu spune nimic', acesta este angajamentul meu fata de voi", declara Obama la acea vreme.

Armata americana, mai blanda cu homosexualii

In martie anul acesta, Pentagonul a inceput o examinare a legii "Nu intreba, nu spune", pentru a incerca sa vada care vor fi efectele abrogarii sale, promisa de Barack Obama.
