When Lady Gaga went onstage to pay tribute to the victims of the Orlando mass shooting, we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy feat. She is one artist who has been very vocal in her support for the LGBT rights, and has also featured it in her songs multiple times.
While standing before signs that read “Orlando”, Lady Gaga read the names of all the victims who died at the gay nightclub, as she broke into tears. She also gave a powerful albeit emotional speech.
“I can’t help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, this is an attack on humanity itself,” said Gaga. “This is an attack on everyone.”
“Tonight I gather humbly with you, as a human being, in peace and sincerity, in commitment and solidarity, to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people. I will not allow my anger and outrage over this attack to overshadow our need to honor those who are grieving truly for their lost ones. Lost members of the LGBT community.”
“Tonight, right now, Orlando, we are united with you. And we are here to remember.” she added.
