Lady Gaga to meet with Obama over bullying Singer plans to discuss anti-bullying legislation
Lady Gaga to meet with Obama over bullying

Singer plans to discuss anti-bullying legislation with president following fan's suicide

"I am meeting with our president," Gaga declared on Twitter. "I will not stop fighting." Despite her words, however, there has been no confirmation from the White House that Obama has actually agreed to meet with Gaga. But the pop star will not be deterred: "Bullying must end," she wrote. "Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey."

2. My God I love this woman.
She could be all about making money - exploiting her fan base... but she is the flip side of her pop culture industry.
She is all about the finer expressions of her artistic talents... Amazing woman. Simply Amazing Talent.

3. Many people wonder why I like her so much, especially at my age.
It's quite easy really and should be obvious to anyone who knows me.

4. What do you mean, at your age?
I am 72 years old and I love her, not so much her singing, but her stand on important issues.

5. That OP would make more sense with punctuation.
But, seriously, good for her. And him. Important issue that I'm glad is finally getting the attention it deserves.

6. Sad that a pop star is taking up this cause and not the people we pay to legislate. n/t

15. I love Lady Gaga. She is amazing
and uses her fame to a good end. Getting harassed is nothing pretty, particularly when you are young, gay and confused.

18. I'm surprised she's doing that.
Madonna didn't.
