Arguably the biggest star of the last decade, Gaga&rsquo;s bold, provocative take on pop culture may have yielded wildly divergent incarnations (and at times uneven artistic results), but one consistent element has been her steadfast support of the LGBT community.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a relationship that goes back to Gaga&rsquo;s start. After dropping out of NYU&rsquo;s Tisch School of the Arts&rsquo; Collaborative Arts Project 21, she immersed herself in New York City&rsquo;s downtown art scene. She began cultivating a rabid <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> following, which she continues to embrace. As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/1610781\/lady-gaga-on-success-the-turning-point-for-me-was-the-gay-community\/\" target=\"_blank\">she described to MTV<\/a>, &ldquo;The turning point for me was the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> community,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got so many <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> fans and they&rsquo;re so loyal to me and they really lifted me up. They&rsquo;ll always stand by me and I&rsquo;ll always stand by them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And she has. Since rocketing to superstardom in 2008, Gaga has been committed to advocating for LGBT causes. She&rsquo;s advocated to end&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2012\/12\/lady-gaga-to-moscow-you-can-be-gay-in-my-house-video.html\" target=\"_blank\">discrimination in Russia<\/a>, to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2013\/12\/lady-gaga-urges-boycott-of-sochi-olympics.html\" target=\"_blank\">boycott the Sochi Olympics<\/a> and for&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2011\/06\/lady-gaga-enlists-eleven-million-little-monsters-in-ny-marriage-equality-battle.html\" target=\"_blank\">marriage equality<\/a>. She rallied her massive fan base to mobilize for the repeal of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2010\/11\/gaga.html\" target=\"_blank\">Don&rsquo;t Ask Don&rsquo;t Tell<\/a>, even going so far as to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2010\/09\/soldiers-impacted-under-dadt-accompany-lady-gaga-to-vmas.html\" target=\"_blank\">bring gay servicemen and women as her escort to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards<\/a>.

She even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2011\/03\/lady-gaga-dissolves-deal-with-target-report.html\" target=\"_blank\">dissolved a partnership with Target<\/a> due to the company&rsquo;s record of supporting some anti-LGBT candidates and organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&rsquo;s the overall celebration of individuality and otherness that permeates her music. From her otherworldly fashion sense to her oft-professed love for her &lsquo;Little Monsters,&rsquo; Gaga has been a champion for young people who may feel persecuted for being different. In 2012, she launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2012\/03\/gagaharvard.html\" target=\"_blank\">Born This Way Foundation<\/a>, which aims to empower young people.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s just the beginning. Take a look at just a few of our many favorite Gaga moments, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2015\/01\/gay-iconography-going-gaga.html\" target=\"_self\">AFTER THE JUMP<\/a> &hellip;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gaga&rsquo;s first single &ldquo;Just Dance&rdquo; enjoyed a slow climb to the top of the charts. It was released in April 2008, four months before she dropped her first full-length, <em>The Fame<\/em>. She played the single on Logo&rsquo;s NewNowNext Awards, one of her earliest television appearances. Her popularity would continue to climb, growing to a fever pitch in 2010 when she racked up Grammy Awards and critical praise for her brand of genre-mashing electropop. <em>The Fame<\/em> would hit number one in countries across the world as well as eventually selling more than 15 million.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hot on the heels of <em>The Fame<\/em>&rsquo;s success, Gaga released <em>The Fame Monster<\/em> EP, which featured eight new songs. By this time, Gagamania was in full effect, with singles like &ldquo;Bad Romance,&rdquo; &ldquo;Telephone&rdquo; and &ldquo;Alejandro&rdquo; becoming hits and spawning some of the most provocative and memorable music <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">videos<\/a> of the modern age. Her <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">video<\/a> for &#8220;Bad Romance,&#8221; above, helped her become the first artist to earn more than one billion views on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Gaga spoke at the National Equality March Rally in Washington, D.C. She called the moment, &ldquo;I can say with such certainty that this is the single most important event in my career.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For her second full-length album, Gaga came out swinging with a high-energy anthem for the LGBT community, &ldquo;Born This Way.&rdquo; The album of the same name was a critical and commercial success, debuting at the top of the Billboard 200. Of the title track, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2010\/10\/elton-john-says-upcoming-gaga-song-could-be-new-gay-anthem.html\" target=\"_blank\">Elton John said<\/a>, &ldquo;Her record&mdash;it&rsquo;s f&mdash;ing amazing. &lsquo;Born This Way,&rsquo; which is the title song, will completely get rid of Gloria Gaynor&rsquo;s &lsquo;I Will Survive.&rsquo; This is the new &lsquo;I Will Survive.&rsquo; That was the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> anthem. This is the new <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> anthem.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gaga&rsquo;s 2013 album, <em>ARTPOP<\/em>, may not have been the transcendent marriage of high and low culture she could have hoped (&ldquo;pop culture was in art, now art&#8217;s in pop culture in me,&rdquo; she sings straight-faced in lead single &ldquo;Applause&rdquo;), but, despite mixed reviews, it debuted at number one in the United States. Lofty aspirations aside, Gaga hasn&rsquo;t lost a lot of that campy performance edge. The <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">video<\/a> for follow-up singles &ldquo;Venus&rdquo; and &ldquo;G.U.Y.&rdquo; featured several Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as well as Bravo impresario Andy Cohen.<\/p>\n<p>Are you one of Gaga&rsquo;s &lsquo;Little Monsters?&rsquo; What&rsquo;s your favorite Gaga track?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?i=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=_ZXq-Y6xWrk:0u6yBN4WnBc:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~4\/_ZXq-Y6xWrk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nBobby Hankinson<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2015\/01\/gay-iconography-going-gaga.html\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.towleroad.com\/2015\/01\/gay-iconography-going-gaga.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gay Iconography: Going Gaga If there&rsquo;s a blueprint for the post-modern <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> icon, it has got to be Lady Gaga.
