Is Lady Gaga THE Voice Of The Gay Community?

When it comes to pop culture, it seems so....   Last night at the VMA's, Gaga brought four former servicemen discharged under DADT as her dates.  Later that night, she called for the repeal of DADT during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, saying "It is a law that violates so much of what we stand [for] as a generation, as free people, as America.”  This morning Harry Reid says he's going to include the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell in a defense legislation he will introduce next week.  Coincidence?  Probably, but you have to admit that Gaga has America talking about it today.  She has spoken at numerous rallies, and makes gay rights a centerpiece of each and every one of her concerts, but is she THE gay rights champion of our time?

I encourage you to participate in a new online GLAAD poll. It asks: Who is the reigning heavyweight champion of LGBT advocacy in pop culture today?  At the moment, Lady Gaga has over 70% of the vote, over other celebs Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, and Dustin Lance Black.
