In the end overall I believe that the song "Born This Way" has a very very powerful message that each and every one can benefit from. Those who are still in the closet, please do not be afraid to come out of the closet. It can be difficult and scary but no matter what, each and every one has someone that loves them the way they are. You are not alone. There are people that feel the same way but have overcame their fears after taking this first step. For those who are being bullied, talk to someone, tell someone, stand up for yourself. Do not be afraid. You are not weaker nor any different to them. We are all human. We are all equivalent to one another. Please accept and be yourself. But be nice. "Same DNA, but born this way" (Blair, 2011).

The only weakness found in the song was when Gaga only mentions the small circle of the LGBT community, "No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive" (Blair, 2011). She did not go in depth with each and every option similar to how she mentioned about all the ethnicity, "No matter black, white or beige, chola or orient made, I'm on the right track baby, I was born to be brave" (Blair, 2011). In the community there are other options such as: queers, pansexual and asexual. Since Gaga only mentions the small circle of options in the LGBT community, listeners might continue to feel they do not belong in a group since they do not fit in any category. In addition, are those who belong in the LGBT are not born to be brave?

"Whether you're broke or evergreen. You're black, white, beige, chola descent. You're Lebanese, you're orient. Whether life's disabilities. Left you outcast, bullied, or teased. Rejoice and love yourself today. 'cause baby you were born this way" (Blair, 2011). Not only is the song talking about sexuality but also your ethnicity. To accept the way they are born into the world no matter what ethnicity they were born to be. Always smile because in the end, there are no solutions in changing the way an individual was brought into the world.

"Don't hide yourself in regret. Just love yourself and you're set" (Blair, 2011). In this quote, Gaga wants everyone to accept themselves. For example, those who are still in the closet. She wants each and every one of them to be out of the closet and learn self-acceptance. In the end, they cannot change the way they are. Self-love should be their first priority.

"A different lover is not a sin" (Blair, 2011). In this quote, Gaga means that a different in preference of lover is not an immortal act. Either you prefer the opposite gender or the same gender lover, it is not considered a transgression against divine law.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (Official Music Video)

# data[].attributes.body
"Born This Way" is a song about self-acceptance and self-love. Gaga is a pro-LGBTQ supporter who wrote this song to help those who are in the closet or those who have came out. The song was released in 2011 and even though it was six years ago, society did not exactly accept the LGBTQ community. Furthermore, there were 14 states standing in the United States that did not permit same sex marriage until June of 2015 when same sex marriage was legalised in all of the United States (BBC News, 2015). In addition, this song is the go-to gay anthem song. It has a beat and the lyrics that make anyone want to sing out loud (Vena, 2011).

The song "Born This Way" was created by a female artist named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, otherwise known as Lady Gaga. Gaga was born on March 28, 1986 in New York City and by the age of four, Gaga learned how to play the piano. During her teenage years, she was granted an early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Art, and happened to be one of the 20 students to receive the honor of early acceptance. In 2007, a man named Akon signed Gaga under his label, KonLive, and that was when she started writing and recording her album, The Fame. The album was a success and ever since she has been a pop icon. Gaga is a songwriter, singer and also a television actress (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 2017).

The overall message of the song is that Gaga wants each and every individual to accept themselves, "'cause you were born this way, baby" (Blair, 2011). No matter what background, religion, or sexuality the individual is, we are all human in the end.
