Lady Gaga Hosts Gay Marriage Proposal On-Stage At Concert

Tuesday night was very special for Lady Gaga fans--especially the happy gay couple that got engaged on stage during her artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball Tour stop in Manchester, England!!

Midway during the show, Gaga invited boyfriends Jay and Shaun to join her on stage. She described Jay as ‘family’: ‘an incredible man and incredible friend’.

She then lets the boys take the spotlight, and to Shaun’s apparent surprise, Jay gets on his knees and proposes.

They couple then kissed, the crowd went wild and Gaga jumped with joy.

Gaga then serenaded the couple with "Born This Way" and led up to the song by telling the crowd:

"It’s so bizarre, you know, my record label a long time ago they told me that my show is too gay and I was too gay or this was too gay.

"I told them, 'Well it’s a great thing that there are gay people all over the world!’

"We’re all human beings with real dreams and real stories and you deserve to love and express your love the same as everybody around the world."

Gaga then told Jay and Shawn "I wish you a beautiful, long and happy life."

She continued to the crowd, saying:

"I’m pretty sure I don’t have to say this because this a pretty free-thinking city but I’m going to fucking say it anyway: if you are living in the UK or in Manchester and whether you are young or old or in the middle, if you are gay hold your head up high and be proud. You don’t have to hide. You’re human. 

"And if anybody here in the audience, I can’t imagine there is, but if anybody here is uncomfortable with this you should probably fucking go because you’re on the wrong side of history and everybody in here is on the right side."

Marriage proposals probably don't get more memorable than that!

Congratulations, guys!!

Gaga Tweets Scene-Stealing, Dancing Teen

Lady Gaga made one little monster deliriously happy last weekend when she congratulated him on Twitter for photobombing a local television news report about the opening of a new shopping center with the choreography from her hit song, "Applause."

New Now Next reports 15-year-old openly gay Las Vegas teen Brendan Jordan was in the background during a local news when cameras caught him doing a flawless rendition of the choreography from Lady Gaga's "Applause" video.

Gaga caught the clip, and tweeted out: "I know I was on vacation, but when are we going to talk about the boy who did 'Applause' choreography in the background of a news report?"

Jordan lost it, replying: "She's Toakking Anout Me." Two hours later, he added, "STILL FREAKING OUT BC LADY GAGA IS LOOKING FOR ME I NEED TO PROCESS THIS I CAN TBNAN."

"I love you baby!" directly tweeted to Brendan. "You really showed the world when that camera was rolling! A real monster, grabbing life by the face for a kiss!"

Needless to say, he went bananas, but returned to Tweet a sweet message in honor of Spirit Day.

In a follow up report, Jordan told the Today show that, "I just saw a camera, and did my thing. I was imagining myself as if I were Lady Gaga, and that no one could destroy me."

The Nevada teen insists he isn't letting "fame" go to his head.

"I still feel the same. I'm still the same kid I was before I did the video," he told a news reporter in the clip below. "The most important thing to do is stay humble."

"[I don't know] why people are comparing me to Lady Gaga," Jordan tweeted after joining Twitter on Sunday. "I worship her as a goddess, and would never try to 'compete' with her."

Lady Gaga Urges Boycott of Sochi Olympics

Amidst congratulations to British diver Tom Daley on his recent coming out, Lady Gaga recently shared her feelings on the Olympics, in particular why she's advocating for a boycott of Sochi. From The Independent:

“I don’t think that we should be going to the Olympics at all,” she told Alan Carr on his Channel 4 show Chatty Man.

“I mean, I would never take anything away from [the athlete’s] hard work, I just think it is absolutely wrong for so many countries to send money and economy in the way of a country that doesn’t support gays.”

“They pepper spray and beat them in Russia,” she added.

Despite the fact that Daley, a diver, does not compete in the Winter Olympics, she continued: “It made me very sad to see the pain that some of the gay kids are in in Russia, and for the world to send their finest for the Olympics… I can’t, it just feels so wrong and sad. I hate saying that, because I’m so excited for those like Tom Daley to go and to win and to rejoice.”

Asked whether she would ever go back to the country for a visit, she said: “I don’t think I’m even allowed in anymore because I screamed ‘I’m gay, arrest me’ on stage last time I was there, so…”

Last December, amidst fears that her show would prominently feature "gay propaganda," Gaga told a crowd in Moscow, "You can be gay in my house."

Lady Gaga Calls For Boycott Of Winter Olympics Over Russian Anti-Gay Law

Citing passage of recently approved laws which discriminate against LGBT people, singer Lady Gaga has joined other celebrities – including Stephen Fry and George Takei – calling for a boycott of the Winter Olympics to be held next year in Sochi, Russia.

The laws, signed in recent weeks by Russian President Vladimir Putin, prohibit gay and lesbian couples from adopting Russian-born children and the public promotion of gay rights where minors might be present, effectively banning Gay Pride marches and similar demonstrations. Russian officials have said that its “gay propaganda” law would be in effect at Sochi and that athletes or guests who violate the law will be detained.

“I care so much about theses issues and I don't think we should be bringing any commerce to a country which enforces such a lack of equality and a lack of human rights,” Lady Gaga told UK tabloid The Sun. “A country where so much abuse of youth is happening, how can we bring so much attention to that part of the world and reward them for that?”

“For me it's shocking, [but] then again everyone thinks Miley Cyrus is shocking and that's the world we live in ...”

Russian Official Targets Pro-Gay Artists with Visa Investigation Against Lady Gaga, Madonna

Anti-gay lawmaker Vitaly Milonov appears to be sending a message to performing artists coming to Russia: speak out in favor of gay rights and be investigated. Milonov appears to have triggered an investigation into visits to the country by Lady Gaga and Madonna, both of whom made spectacles of Russia's anti-gay laws during their performances.
The Guardian reports:

The office of Russia's prosecutor general has issued a statement confirming that neither singer obtained an appropriate visa prior to performing there last year. Madonna, who played in August 2012, and Gaga, who appeared in December, travelled under cultural-exchange visas. These documents "do not grant their bearers the right to engage in any commercial activity," authorities said. According to the Russian legal information agency, prosecutors are now considering asking Russia's foreign ministry or federal migration service to press charges.

As any foreigner who has visited Moscow will know, Russian immigration can be extremely complicated. But Gaga and Madonna's mistakes weren't just discovered by accident: prosecutors launched their investigation only after being contacted by one of the singers' most outspoken enemies.

The man in question was Vitaly Milonov, who serves in St Petersburg's municipal legislature and authored St Petersburg's law banning gay "propaganda" – a model for recent legislation passed by the Duma.
