Lady Gaga meets POTUS to push administration on anti-gay bullying

Lady GagaOh to be a fly on the wall this past weekend when pop star Lady Gaga met President Obama. On Sunday night, at a fundraiser in Atherton, CA at the home of Facebook’s COO, the White House press pool released what will go down as the most awesomest pool report evah:

At 8:03 pm Lady Gaga entered… delicately walking on sky-high heels (she towered over everyone, a good 2 feet taller than POTUS). She was wearing a floor-length sleeveless lacey black dress, her blonde hair was gathered in a bouffant up-do adorned with a black hair piece with a black veil down the back, which she swept to the side and in front of her left shoulder. (The hair added about 6 inches to her stature). She took a seat at the middle table in the tent and stood up with the other guests when POTUS entered a few minutes later.

The Mother Monster was there to implore the President and his administration to respond to the recent suicide of 14 year old Jamey Rodemeyer after years of bullying. Rodemeyer even tweeted to Lady Gaga before ending his life. Gaga attended the fundraiser in order to raise awareness and to push for bullying to become a federal hate crime.

Gaga thanked the president and the White House for their Conference on Bullying Prevention earlier this year but pressed them to do more. Hopefully, Rodemeyer’s tragic death will lead to much needed anti-bullying legislation. I don’t know if it can or should be made into a federal hate crime, but much more serious penalties are necessary to stop this horrific cycle of homophobic bullying and suicide. There are too many young people ending their lives and there need to be more serious consequences for those disgusting individuals who live to make another child’s life a living hell.

R.I.P. Jamey.
