The Born This Way star opened up about her relationship with the LGBTQ+ community during a new press interview. While promoting her new Academy nominated film House of Gucci, the artist stated she does not represent or “speak” on behalf of the community.
The question the singer was faced with focused on the need for greater LGBTQ+ representation in the movie industry, particularly in award nominations. “I feel that it is right and true to say this: I am a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community but I do not speak for them.
They do not need me to speak for them. “I am here to cheer on radical love and a radical joy that I had the privilege of witnessing since I was a very young girl.
