Lady Gaga speaks at the National Equality March rally.

[@King-eg8qn]

I think everyone can agree that they got chills when she said "ARE YOU LISTENING!!"

[@E2704G]

Kevin Martinez I agree.. I almost shed a tear

[@himerosTheGod]

Kevin Martinez Apparently he and the Supreme court was!!

[@rivettownband]

now we know Obama was listening. thank you gaga

[@CedricVEVO]

Lady Gaga was and will be forever my idol, my inspiration, my entire life. She's so respectful, open-minded and engaged for people.. Without You & I, baby I'd rather die ♥

[@karyc.8450]

Look how far we've come in a few years. From this speech to now, when gay marriage is legal in all 50 states.

[@frenchprint]

*when marriage is equal in 50 states 😉

[@ekcj1]

I was there. I got chills when she spoke. Thank you Gaga. You are a hero.

[@nicolesuperfan]

"it's not equal if it's sometimes." I love that.

[@cymbalman89]

every time i hear her yell "ARE YOU LISTENING" it gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. this woman's message, in music and spirit, is much more powerful than "get wasted and party and have sex" like most pop stars. she wants us to love ourselves for our different lifestyles, looks we were born with, bodies, and the people we are. therefore, i will never fathom why she receives so much hate for what she's doing.

[@ChrisLamberts]

She is a hero. Obama is listening.

[@user197]

Chris Lambert gaga for president.

[@NostalgiCrazy]

He listened all the way. GaGa and Obama will forever be icons of a very important era. Sadly, things have turned ugly now as we all know, but I still have faith that we will have more amazing people like them when the buffoon is done.

[@armaniv6455]

Well the Supreme Court listened not Obama, as they passed same sex marriage federally, obama just happened to nod his head in agreement (after spending a few years detesting same sex marriage)

[@tessrzeszutko3682]

Coming here bc this was featured on an ABC original 4 night series, "When We Rise" about the history of the gay liberation and gay rights movement. Today, we have legal marriage equality yet we are still fighting the fight. But, one of the most amazing things I can say is this series has taught me and my generation that were just coming into realization as to what this is and the fight that this has been a long time. The fight has been long and all generations will fight. My generation and the generations before and after mine will keep on fighting. Every generation has its spark. Mine was the most anti-LGBTQ+ man and vice president being elected into office and only months before the most deadly shooting we have had in America. That also happened to kill 53 of our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. For later generations, I hope that the series that I looked this up from is the spark to get them to join in the fight that our past brothers and sisters alike have fought. This may not be read by anyone... from the looks of things I don't think anyone has read or left a comment here in 3 years. But, if anyone does read this, now or 10-20 years from now, know that whatever fight you're fighting. Just started or has been long overdue, will happen if we all just fight hard and long enough. Before the gay liberation movement of 1971 no one knew that 44 years later it would be legal for same sex couples to legally marry. Now its your chance. Because no generation is ever silent, every generation has something that they have stood up for. Let whatever fight you have be it.

Lady Gaga Is My Hero!!!! I love this woman.

[@BlackWidow36776]

I swear I was watching this video yesterday.

[@DANA1LOVE8-bl4dr5wd6z]

THANK U 4 YOUR COURAGE TO STAND UP 2 HATRED AND HOMOPHOBIA THAT IS AN EPIDEMIC IN OUR WORLD!! LOVE IS LOVE!!

[@abeham1078]

This woman is truly iconic, and truly inspirational. Nowadays a lot of gay youth don’t understand the battle and fighting that was done not so long asgo for being openly and unapologetically gay. She is one of the few that shaped gay rights movement in this time. She was so vocal about gay people and her love for them. I was in high school struggling to find myself, struggling to accept my homosexuality , and her music and her persona, and her outspokenness aided me to be happy and accepting. She was a strong and influential voice for marriage equality she is just , just so influential

[@flyjasonfly]

I WAS THERREEEE. agh. my heart was not beating for 4 minutes listening to her. she's too amazing. she'll always be there for us and the community. i love her TOO much

[@Nausica315]

I love you gaga, thank you for stand up for LGBT

[@Anvorn4578]

The mention "God, cosmos, intellectual unity" is as seperate possibilities/theories of what it would take to change all of humanity, which is not likely to occur. I'm simply stating that humanity is far from enlightenment as a whole, and the journey to do so is hardly by way of legislation. I didn't say people can't live their lives as they wish, please see the point.

[@sweetFFF]

its so iconic，and look how far we've come from this moment

[@Linoxism]

Re@Laimek You don't need to be gay to want everyone to have equal rights. You wouldn't have to be a dog to tell someone that beating one is wrong. Lady Gaga is standing up for what she believes is right, and she's not just just a woman who sings. She carries that star power and ability to draw attention to an important matter. That's exactly what she is doing.

[@TomChilli]

I can't evene express how happy i am!!

[@ward517]

Thank you! I'm old 51 I was there. I heard your talk. Thank you! Thank you to all the young people. It's time!!!!!!! Love is stronger than Hate

[@kyler791]

I would never be able to stand where I am today without Gaga. She really changed my life and the way I see myself forever. Thank you ❤️

[@ladygagaupdates8964]

Here in 2020 I'm so proud of you my girl :") @ladygaga

[@TheMichaelTOgilvie]

i got goose bumps when she screams 'ARE YOU LISTENING!'

[@joeybistoocool]

Lady Gaga created homosexuality

[@TomatoDreams]

"They say that this country is free, and they say this this country is equal... but it is not equal if it is 'sometimes'." Very simple words. Very powerful words. I feel Lady Gaga, and I know she feels us.

[@ebonyjenkinsnews7817]

WE WERE BORN THIS WAY!

[@fugiman56]

Lady GaGa is a wonderful artist. Her music alone is reason to love her, and this just takes the cake. Although I don't much understand some of the outfits she wears.

[@jakotelephone]

heres to the ones who change the world gaga xx such an inspiration

[@Mathew9648]

If I could have just one wish granted. It would be to simply give Lady gaga a hug. She is my inspiration, and she is without a single doubt in my mind the most influential person in our day and age.

[@eroupopper]

my hero

[@kirkeous]

Where does it say this?!?!

[@TammysCoffeeTalks]

Topfreedom too for Women!!!!! Everywhere Now!!!! Long over due!!!!

[@ThisQuietStorm]

I don't know why your comment was marked as spam... it's completely just! And I agree 100%.

[@LuoW2001]

i would never forget the speech and never stop fighting the inequity

[@coolmaplestore]

She has been famous since 2008, and had a career starting 2006, so yes, 1 or 3 years is pretty long to me. In that career, she has managed to become a shockingly successful artist in what you yourself see as a short span in comparison. I'm only comparing how they stand behind a stand and speak, not what they have done :] Logic, again.

[@VictoriaGermanotta]

2:03 It's when you can see that Lady Gaga make that with his heart and not just with his head.♥

[@octopibingo]

That's no mule, that's my wife.

[@OoMASEoO]

"It's not EQUAL if it's SOMETIMES." That is going to go down in history as an amazing quote.

[@doogi2009]

2:03 "ARE YOU LISTENIIINNNGGG!!!!??" HAHAHA omg

[@SAOProductions1955]

As for your backyard, stay there. As Dorothy said "If I [you} ever go looking for my [your] hearts desire again, I [you] won't look any further than my [your] own backyard. Because if it's isn't there, I [you] never really lost it to begin with." That's right!

[@Ninja-rc3kg]

Wow what a throwback!

[@spaghetti9067]

She slays so hard as well

[@aquanet2]

"most important moment in my career." That is the truth. Its a career move above anything else.

[@omgxxashley]

She's an artist and an entertainer, she doesn't try to be like every other artist out there. Give her some credit for being original.

[@Kennylou29]

Lady gaga is probably one of THE most influential and inspirational people ever.

[@xXxRaizexXx]

I seriously always thought of Lady Gaga as just another pop star, but after seeing this, I have a huge respect for her and I admire her very much.

[@MAYNARD4507]

You know the country is in the crapper when a person named "Lady Gaga", can get up and speak and people actually agree with what it says. It just goes to show anyone can be a celebrity.

[@Autophobiaxx]

You know what fascinates me? How intolerant people can become tolerant, but you never hear of a tolerant person saying, "You know what, I'm sick and tired of letting other people do things that don't effect me."

[@JREX90]

In terms of her music, appearance and not being afraid to stand up for what she believes in, that is what makes her brilliant. I admire those who are different and inspire people to be themselves -while standing up for their beliefs- rather than someone who knows calculus and can quote Ulysses verbatim. I'm sorry if you're so one sided that you can only see brilliance in those who are gifted scholastically.

[@KraXoom]

It's interesting to see her tone down the fashion a bit. I expected her to pop out with chunks of ground chuck strapped to her blouse. She looks really great here..

[@MONKEYWITHAGIMBAL]

You like Pepsi ah? hehe thats funny what you say about the pepsi!!! =;D

[@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods]

Let's have a moratorium on celebrities addressing political rallies. Lady Gaga is an expert on singing, and that's about it.

[@felipe1504]

The world is not asking for permission to evolve. It just goes on. Thnks Gaga, you're amazing.

[@freaky4upapi101]

this woman is very important to this march because people look up to her and she spoke and showd that so many people can make a change.....i was there wen she spoke and i rioted. i am a proud bisexual and lord knows we can make a change.

[@mrAZcardinal]

As a gay dude, I don't like her music. But omg she is an amazing speaker. Her and P!nk both rocked hardcore during the gay rights speeches. Amazing.

[@psychokannibal]

From a different perspective, she is actually more eloquent than one would assume from her stage image. Also, to those that are trollin' on her, you are certainly welcome to helping create social equality. If you're not doing anything good in this world, your criticism means nothing.

[@balabilu]

She has got a beautyful voice, not only when she sings, but also when she just talk...Thak you.

[@showtunesman89]

2:02-2:06= for me, four of the best seconds of Lady GaGa's speech.

[@claguey1]

She is a inperastion to me and will always be

[@ДенисГарбут-я9х]

Gaga I love you so. I have tears welling up from your speech))

[@Carsitaaa]

yessss!!!!

[@KnoTalive515]

Lady GaGa IS intelligent and she's the perfect spokesman as right now in the music industry she's one of the big titans of pop culture and music. Like her music or not you have to accept that.

[@DERWENT1702]

She's amazing. I love it when people with that much power over the modern world use it for something that actually matters. Some singers advertise lipstick, or fashion labels... and people buy it because they admire the singer. But Gaga advertises this, and we listen because we love her, if everybody with influence signed there name to something that mattered then maybe they could change the world.

[@casiash]

and ANYONE can be saved if they choose too. good point

[@ConnorMT082492]

I'm so sorry that because of other people's ignorance, we feel we are inadequate or inequal and are treated as such by our own country

[@ZamsadaZombie]

Why do people have problems with other people in the first place? Why cant everyone just be ... nice? Normal? Happy? I dont get it. But im glad she's bringing attention to this issue, and probably grabbing a young audience for the cause as well.

[@coolmaplestore]

Because she has used her entire successful career to consistently speak up for LBGT rights. She's a FAMOUS woman, who will be KNOWN for what she has ALREADY done. It's just like how Obama has more right than ANYBODY to speak in his rallies; He has done so much more. It's logic.

[@ArchmageLord]

that's the most 'normal' thing I've seen Gaga wear ever

[@Nachonizer]

Gaga, i don't think u even realize just how amazing and inspiring u are. This speech really touched me. Thank u for truly caring about us. It's about fucking time we change the world. WE CAN DO IT!

[@Deepstarr7020]

There needs to be demonstrations held in every crevice of the country at the same time .There are plenty of people that live in middle America that support the gays but they haven't had the opportunity to stand up. It's a powerful statement to be in one place in a huge number , it's even more powerful to be everywhere at the same time, for the same cause.Imagine every place that has a gay community marched at the same time .

[@coolmaplestore]

That's not even what she's trying to do. She is just, after all, speaking her mind and demanding like every other LBGT person for equality and rights. Get that through your skull.

[@Banabo0]

You are wrong on so many levels. If you can't understand she is trying to make a difference, you can actually hear the compassion and empathy and caring in her voice. Don't try to call Gaga fake, because she isn't. She is herself, and nothing more, nothing less. we should all strive to be ourselves.

[@FranMataPa]

I love her and I love this community so much ❤️

[@luvkrafft]

She has, like, one freakin' hit song and now she is a spokesperson?!?

[@levybozo]

gaga is amazing, no more coments I don't have words to describe she's incredible

[@luke83rj]

Through her our voice is much louder

[@LADYGAGAPUERTORICO]

what an amazing speech, that's why i admire her so much

[@octopibingo]

"...let me guess your a...." In this context it would be "you're," a contraction of "you are." There would also be a comma after "guess."

[@GenocideOnToast]

This woman is so strong, and I love her for it more than I think I can express with words.

[@JREX90]

Yes, because SO many heterosexual couples help create "healthy" families; The divorce rate is skyrocketing, teen pregnancy has become common, parents beating their kids or pushing religion and hate onto them. Gay couples, who are going well out of their way to become parents, deserve it a lot more than a lot of heterosexual "healthy" couples.

[@JREX90]

Yes, because an artist who actually writes songs with a meaning is DOOMING the industry. Lady Gaga combines great lyrics with a killer beat, she creates something that has meaning and you can dance to it as well. And if you even listened to the lyrics of Bad Romance, you'd know that the song is about love. She's saying how when it comes to love, she wants it all; The good parts, the bad parts and everything inbetween... because that is what true love is all about to her.

[@BCB113]

Q: Why was Matthew Shepard killed? A: He was checking a malebox.

[@RavensFan2812]

Yep, that's what I'm saying. It's not prejudice or hatred just because someone is raised a Christian and has been taught that it's wrong. That's not hatred. It's their belief system. Do you see the difference, or are you not allowed to stray away from the party line of screaming, "Hate, nazis, homophobes." and all other terms activists like to use?

[@spyrograph]

THIS is Why LAdy Gaga will Be a leader in Communication(Music) in many decades to come. She is a true Artist and one with passion! Unlike most of the Rubbish music industry

[@campione270]

they say this century is equal, but it is no equal, if its sometimes. i love that line, its the best one in the speech which was so inspiering and amazing !!!! :P LOVE GAGA

[@purplgoo]

I'm not gay nor am I bi. But I believe everyone deserves equal rights. everyone is equal!!

[@agoodcupoftea]

I'm not really a fan of her music (for dance I prefer Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Kaskade, etc.) but this...is awesome! As a bisexual who ended up a homeless teen and a highschool dropout for coming out, to see someone mainstream and famous speak up like this-that is fxxkin awesome!!!!!!!!1

[@LeoDom95]

Wow, what a fantastic speech! I am completely in support of what she had to say. Verrrrry well done, Lady Gaga :)

[@Feliaanduu]

When GAGA does things like this, it makes me love her much more day by day! I'm straight but I love what Gaga demands and what she wants.... FULL EQUALITY FOR ALL OF US! Love you Mother Monster!
