LGBT References Missing in 'Born This Way' Performances

It's surprising, then, that the most overt reference to accepting the LGBT community has been left out of recent performances of Gaga's No. 1 hit. Yesterday, she performed the song as part of her Good Morning America concert, and a few weeks ago, Glee featured the song in an episode by the same title.

In both instances, a key verse is missing: "No matter gay, straight, or bi / lesbian, transgender life / I'm on the right track, baby / I was born to survive."

What gives, Gaga?
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
