Lady Gaga rallies her 'Aussie Little Monsters'

Lady Gaga has used her Facebook page – where she has 28 million fans – to rally support for the latest Australian campaign for marriage equality.


“Come celebrate why you were Born This Way,” she commanded. “Little Aussie Monsters head down to Martin Place in Sydney at 8am or Chapel St in Melbourne at 9am on 14/2/11.”

Australian Marriage Equality campaigner Alex Greenwich says he’s thrilled with Lady Gaga’s support and is looking forward to seeing a big turnout of people in both cities on Monday morning for the launch of lobby group Get Up!’s new gay marriage campaign.

Channel 7 will be there in both cities on Monday morning filming the out and loud crowd as the new TV ad is revealed for the first time.

With the slogan Marriage Matters, the ad aims to put further pressure on the nation’s leaders to amend the Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to legally wed.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga’s newest single Born This Way is set to be released globally on iTunes at 1am tonight AEDST. She tweeted the lyrics to the song late last month, proving that it’s a huge gay anthem – see the full lyrics here.
