Lady Gaga is and remains one of the loudest voices for the LGBTQ community.
Lady Gaga performed her new single “Abracadabra” at the Grammys 2025 on Sunday evening (February 2nd) and, together with Bruno Mars, accepted the award for the best pop duo/group performance for “The With A Smile”. In her acceptance speech, the singer set a strong sign of the rights of the trans-community-and thus received standing ovation.
In view of the currently tightening political situation in the United States, Lady Gaga has sent a clear message with her acceptance speech. The community, which Lady Gaga has supported since the beginning of her career, is likely to be able to speak out with urgent words for the rights of trans people.
Lady Gaga: Thank you speech includes words to transpersonen
“It is a great honor for me to sing for you tonight,” said the singer on stage. “I just want to say one thing: Trans-people are not invisible. Trans-people deserve love. The queer community deserves recognition. Music is love. “
Lady Gaga, who had already opened the evening with a common performance of “California Dreamin” with Bruno Mars, has been committed to LGBTQ rights for years. Your Born This Way Foundation is particularly committed to young queer people-inspired by her song of the same name, which bears the message “protects trans-life”.
The singer’s speech falls into a time when President Donald Trump and his followers act against trans-rights with new regulations. Since taking office in January, he has signed measures that are reducing the protection of LGBTQ people. One of his first orders again defined gender strictly binary and obliged US authorities to adapt gender-specific documents accordingly.
Trump is already planning further measures: New regulations are to be signed, exclude trans people from military service and abolish diversity programs within the armed forces. Trump had already tried this during his first term. According to “ABC News”, pronoun regulations in the Ministry of Defense are also to be deleted and trans-people are denied access to gender-specific institutions.
