Lady Gaga used the Grammy scene to defend Trans rights. While accepting the price of the best pop / group performance duo for “Die with a smile”, the pop star made a daring statement on the rights of transgenderness, pulling a standing ovation.
“It is such an honor to sing for all of you. I just want to say tonight that trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love, ”said Gaga on stage with Bruno Mars. “The Queer community deserves to be raised. Music is love. “”
Gaga’s comments are intervened while President Donald Trump targeted the Transgender community as soon as he took office last month. He signed an executive decree bringing back the trans and LGBTQ protections, claiming that “a” woman “means a person belonging, to the design, to the sex which produces the large reproductive cell” and “masculine” means a person belonging, to The design, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell. »»
In addition to recognizing only two sexes, the decree also directs the State Department and the Ministry of Internal Security “require that the identification documents issued by the government, including passports, visas and cards World entrance, precisely reflect the sex of the holder ”.
GAGA – which covered the mothers and the “dreamin” of California “of Papas with Mars earlier at night – has long been a voice for the LGBTQ community and devoted its philanthropy efforts with the Born This Way Foundation LGBTQ. (The namesake song of the Foundation shouts “Transgender Lives”.)
On Monday, President Trump is expected to sign two other executive orders prohibiting trans persons from enlisting in the army, as well as eliminating the initiatives of diversity, equity and inclusion of the army.
The new orders issues directives “concerning trans-identifying medical standards for military service and to cancel the advice incompatible with military preparation”, as reported by ABC News. It will also end the use of pronouns at the Ministry of Defense and prohibit people assigned to the birth of the birth of “sharing sleep, change or bath in the installations designated for women”.
