Yeah it's great that she supports them but there's plenty of other artists who probably do but don't give them constant special treatment. I'd like it more if she said, "I want to become a minister so I can marry my fans on stage, no matter their orientation." I kind of feel out-casted by her most of the time.
The thing about it is, Lady GaGa is a gay icon and she's constantly standing up for gay rights. While she has a lot of gay fans and a lot of gay-supporting fans, she's does have straight fans too, but does she have to fight for their rights?

I can see how people would feel like she's excluding them, but really, she says she loves ALL her fans, that includes gays and straights. She doesn't constantly just mention her gay fans, she mentions all her little monsters when she wins things.

She has no need to say "THIS IS FOR GOD AND FOR THE STRAIGHTS" because, well, straight people don't need to fight for the same rights as gay people lol.

She's making a statement, not trying to alienate her fans. I wish people didn't see it that way because she's doing more good than harm you know?
