Lady Gaga confronts anti-gay protester; says ‘Country’ remix of ‘Born This Way’ benefits gay group [video]
”What I’m trying to understand is, there’s 3,000 standing in my line, and nobody standing in your line. Who’s going to hell? … If it was so easy get out of hell, why don’t we just print up a bunch of these [cards]? Just makes me sad that my fans have to see that, but I know that it’s just part of what I’m supposed to do.”
Lady Gaga in her latest Gagavision video on YouTube. In the video, middle-aged male protester is featured outside of her concert. She says he handed her a “Get out of HELL free card.” As she introduced herself to him as Lady Gaga, he said, “So? … You’re pervert ways don’t equate to what God is all about… Yeah, you know, the homo stuff…. Most of your problems is you got raised in a screwy [Catholic] religion.”

This new country-rock version has been infused with both harmonica and guitars instead of dance floor synthesizers. While keeping the song’s sexual diversity, the racial references have been substituted with lyrics that now say:
”If you wanna make it country baby it’s okay,
‘Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way.”From London, Paris, Japan back to USA,
Yeah, I was born on the road, I was born to be brave.”
