For my first blog post, I will serve you some Monster family realness. Kidding aside. Anyways, I will share to you a speech of Lady Gaga during her Born This Way Ball tour in Taiwan for the conservative countries who are trying to ban her - including especially our Motherland, Philippines. I hope it will make you shed tears like it did to me.
Watch the video:

(Actual speech of her which I really listened carefully & typed. If there are errors, pardon me & let me know.)
“The conservatives, where they live there, where they are afraid to tell their friends & family who they really truly are, whether their sexual orientation or their belief about love and I just hope that for one moment, imagine that this is not a place that is trying to be necessarily not conformist, it’s just that we are rebellious when it comes to freedom and I hope that you know that in this secular moment that we are sharing, this is not a church, this is a place for music & dancing for you to express how you really feel so let tonight be the night. Put your hands up! There’s a lot of people in the world that they can’t live their lives because they don’t feel equal. Some people take their lives. Some people don’t live to see tomorrow. Let’s sing at the top of their lungs. Let’s sing so loud that the whole world knows how much they fuckin’ matter!“
So this is what you call an Anti-christ? A demon? A prostitute? A hooker? To the protesters, to the religious, to the self-righteous, to the people who continue to diss & judge her, have it ever crossed your mind to think about equality? About the people who are victims of hate? Or actually think about the more important issues in our country which is poverty or crimes or violence than trying to ban someone who actually has a cause and views in life that really are valuable.
I’m very affected because I’m a little monster, I’m a gay & I’m a Filipino and it’s just so unfair that my own countrymen bash someone who actually supports our community, the LGBT. The Lady Gaga who continues to fight for self-expression and self-freedom and the people who are victims of hatred that they do not even deserve at all - she knows her priorities, her objectives in life, her missions and most especially she knows how to love the hurt.
And here I am apologizing to Lady Gaga for being bullied by bigots and morons by this corrupted land which is the Philippines.
I love you, Mother Monster! I will forever be your, little monster! Paws up! (“”)
P.S. I’m still in love with Judas.
