Lady Gaga to Launch Anti-Bullying Foundation Today

[William769]

Lady Gaga and her mother are set to launch their national anti-bullying effort today, the Born This Way Foundation, at Harvard University.

Led by Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, the foundation hopes to combat intolerance while promoting a “braver, kinder world,” with a focus on positive change that embraces difference.

From the organization’s Facebook page:

The non-profit charitable organization will lead youth into a braver new society where each individual is accepted and loved as the person they were born to be. BTWF will focus on youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change.

It's a damn shame that people of authority plus Government officials refuse to step up yo the plate and deal with bullies.

LADY GAGA

1. Have to give her props for that one

2. I was never impressed with Lady Gaga

until I saw her do a duet with Tony Bennett.

She is a very talented individual.

And good for her with respect to this effort.

5. I liked her music for what it was, but after hearing her

with the incomparable Tony on that "The Lady Is A Tramp" duet I was bowled over. She can SING and has real musical style. Being able to stand toe to toe with Bennett is something few singers, especially younger ones, would have the talent to accomplish.

And she is clearly one of the better people in showbiz, lending her name and efforts to a cause this good.

3. Bullying is a hate crime, and it's everywhere, not just in schools.

Good on Gaga!

4. Yes you find it in the most unsuspecting places.

6. Yay!

Don't care about her music much, but she has a good heart.
This is great news.

She was born to be brave.

8. Good for her. This is awesome.

Count me as one of those who wrote her off and then totally changed my mind.
