• Lady Gaga is using her voice once again to support a repeal to the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy regarding openly gay members of the military.


    Gaga -who delivered a speech regarding her stance on the issue in September - released a new PSA on YouTube to reiterate the importance of undoing the law. The pop star cited a recent increase in gay teenage suicides and used the announcement to demand Congress to set a better example for American youth and to "keep [their] word" to debate and address the law.


    "Kids are being led to believe that it's okay to hate and condemn based on our differences," she said, "and this recent horrific news of gay suicides is really proof of our social repression and ultimately government repression that is killing our youth. We have to end this law because it reinforces discrimination and it's setting a bad example."


    A recent study released by the Pentagon showed that 70% of active military members believe that overturning the law would have a positive, mixed or no effect at all; the study's co-authors then announced their support of repealing the law.


    Little Monsters and other human rights activists can go here to get involved.
