Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
Cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to survive"

For many, there are no absolute truths, and Lady Gaga does indeed do a good job of portraying this in her music.]]> 2018-03-20 21:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244289892 AmandaPotter https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244293525 The song Born this way by Lady gaga released in 2011 describes how whether you are lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, or trans-gendered you should not be ashamed of yourself. You were born the way you were born and everyone was born to stand out, not to hide in fear. ''I'm beautiful in my way/ Cause God makes no mistakes/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born this way." It also makes some sharp points about the self-hatred that many gay people and outcasts of all kinds share: "Don't hide yourself in regret/ Just love yourself and you're set."]]> 2018-03-20 21:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244293525 AmandaPotter https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244297098 In 2011, Lady Gaga released her anthem "Born This Way," which changed the lives of millions of people and started a movement of love, equality, and acceptance.]]> 2018-03-20 22:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244297098 AmandaPotter https://padlet.com/AmandaPotter/bornthisway/wish/244297592 Modern social issues are real, they are serious and the laws that confine them having an overarching effect on humanity.
