If you have not already noticed by now in your news, Twitter, Facebook, and other feeds, Lady Gaga has dropped her highly anticipated new single called "Born This Way" today from her upcoming new album (available in May). Hype of the song release has been everywhere for weeks building up in anticipation for today.
Lady Gaga, who has been viewed as a vocal LGBT supporter, said in her recent VOGUE interview that, "I wrote ["Born This Way"] in ten f---ing minutes, and it is a completely magical message song. And after I wrote it, the gates just opened, and the songs kept coming. It was like an immaculate conception."
Having admitted this past October that she was bullied in school as a youth, she is now selling and marketing her new single about bullying to the LGBT community as an "anthem" and a "timely piece".
But, an anthem and timely piece for whom?

I don't really know what to think of it, other than it's going to be playing everywhere very soon. Especially at pride events.
Joy. All we need is another Gaga song pumped into our heads.
