Lady Gaga performs amazing rendition of ‘Imagine’ at gay rights fundraiser [video]
People of the nation
Are you listening?
It isn’t equal if it’s sometimes
I want a real democracy
Imagine all the people
Could love equally…

”All my friends, growing up, were gay. Tonight was a very, very special moment for all of us. And I respect and love everyone that works with HRC and wanted to be a representative for the young community of gay men and women and transgendered and bisexual, that will becoming tomorrow at the March. So, I want to be the voice of young people…. President Obama gave us an incredible, incredible speech where he took a stand against hatred and inequality and that’s what tonight is about. And tomorrow’s march is ever so more important.
