When you have a lot of feelings about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, the best way to express those feelings is through art. You should express your art on John McCain’s face, ideally.

Lady Gaga had a DADT rally today. She did research and wrote a speech and on a scale of one to bajillion, it was pretty f*cking awesome. I feel like she’s going to be remembered for this. Imagine all the people living life in peace, y’all. [Now with a photo gallery of the speech/rally]

Lady Gaga has a message for the U.S. Senate about the unconstitutionality of DADT and its enforcement, even though they won’t pick up her telephone call.
