A Lil Positivity: Lady Gaga Launches Anti-Bullying Foundation

Lady GaGa is going to have an answer for everyone born this way.

“My mother and I have initiated a passion project. We call it the Born This Way Foundation,” Gaga said in a statement about the foundation, which takes its name from her hit single and album. “Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.”

Gaga has been a leader in shedding a light on the issue of bullying. She met with President Obama at a fundraiser in September to talk about the bullying epidemic, after she was touched in particular by the suicide of bullied 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer.

“The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling,” she tweeted when news of the teen’s death broke in September. “I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someone’s life.” She went on to post Rodemeyer’s “It Gets Better” video, urging that bullying “must become illegal. It is a hate crime.”

Wow, GaGa is really taking this anti-bullying thing to the next level. She may be a weirdo, but we definitely have to give her a round of applause. Now, if we can just see her mom trying to run things. We can’t imagine what her mother looks and acts like.
