So put it this way: If Lady Gaga convinces one gay kid that it’s OK to be that way — “Be who you are and love who you are,” she preaches — or convinces others that it is not OK to bully, then that makes her a pop star unworthy of all the hate thrown her way, even if her music did suck, even if she was the worst thing in all of modern culture — which she most certainly is not.Hate on the Gaga all you want. She may be at the edge of glory, which drives some people insane. But you can’t deny that as much she is about fantasy and the artifice of pop stardom, she’s also all about living life to its fullest.
