Lady Gaga is 23 and she is talking about bad romance. heck, when I was 23, I didn't even know there were different kinds of romances. So much talent in such a small neat bizarre package.
The only person who trumps her in bizarreness is Adam Lambert. Both very comfortable with discussing their sexuality on TV.
You may think the taboos are reduced. But when it comes to music, people are not racist, sexist or homophobes. People love african american musicians, folk singers, nusrat fateh ali khan, madonna, shakira, rihanna, george micheal, etc.
But in real life, they fear the black, queers, muslims and sexual women.
So if you think this open display of sexuality will get people to accept things that they are fundamentally against, think again.
Ironically, they like the talent alone and in supporting the talent they end up supporting the person behind the talent.
Even if some of these are gimmicks, we live in a world where it has become relatively easier to talk about it at least if you are famous. Of course there is a long way to go before nobody's with absolutely zero fashion sense can pull off such things.
Thankfully, people are more accepting today of ugliness than they were. Exhibit A: Robert Pattinson.
