In Lady Gaga’s song Born This Way, the message told is how everyone is born a certain way, and everyone should be proud of it. This song can connect with queer activism since the lyrics “celebrates difference and diversity.”1 An interesting element to this song is its use of Christian themes to support its message. Usually, Christianity is used against the LGBTQ community to condemn same-sex relationships. However, in this song, Lady Gaga uses Christianity to express why it is okay to be who you are. Following the lines “No matter gay, straight, or bi’, lesbian, transgender life” and “No matter Black, white or beige, chola, or Orient’ made,” she says, “I’m beautiful in my way ’cause God makes no mistakes,” implying that God made you the way you are regarding race and sexuality, and that you should love yourself for it. This supports womanist thinking by implying that “[being] recognized as human, levelly human, is enough”.2 Born this way also possibly has hints of trans people inclusion, with the repeated lines “Don’t be a drag, just be a queen.” This is probably a play on words with drag queens, who are associated with the trans people community. While Born This Way is usually associated as an anthem for LGBTQ pride, some of Lady Gaga’s lyrics can be seen a problematic. Gaga refers to Asians as “Orient” in two of the lines of the song, appearing in “You’re Lebanese, you’re Orient’” and “No matter Black, white or beige, chola, or Orient’ made.” Even though the context of this word is meant to promote inclusivity amongst all races, the term “Orient” is outdated and can be seen as offensive. Another problem within the lyrics is when Gaga refers to God as “capital H-I-M.” This is problematic since Gaga is assuming god’s gender is a man. According to book 239 of Catechism of the Catholic Church, God has no assigned gender, stating “God is neither man nor woman: he is God.” Despite its limitations, this song displays ideas from transfeminism and queer feminism because its lyrics have themes of empowering the LGBTQ+ in addition to themes regarding racial minorities.
