Gay anthem, empowerment anthem or anything? I would really like to see something promoted and takeoff for Adam that highlights his incredible talent and voice. Maybe it is too late for that with his current situation. But if no one hears the music, on a wider scale, it will be hard to resonate with anyone other than the fans he has already. He has tried to appeal to his community before but few got on board, if they were not already there. Not sure why it would be different this time. He is still not a female diva and that seems to be all that really matters. Support for them is automatic, strong and never ending. Adam is a handsome and hot and talented man who appeals to more women. He is an excellent role model and offers great encouragement for the young ones in his community but his greatest appeal and fans are still outside his community. He openly promoted "New Eyes" as the chosen single because of his boyfriend and how he made him feel. Did it make a difference in his community? I saw no evidence that it did. It certainly did not do as well on Itunes as "Feel Something" which was more universal. Imo, he would have a better chance if he really made an effort to target more Queen fans. He says that he is doing that with Velvet but I haven't really heard any music yet that shows that he is. But maybe there is something there. But like always, it will probably be only his fans who get to hear it.
Ain't does not bother me. It is used often in music or in general. That will not make or break the success of his song.

Very interesting article. Proof once again that people don't choose to be gay they are just made that way.

Gaga is cis-female, so I took the first him as heterosexual and I took the capitalized HIM as a religious reference. I have proven many times that I can be totally wrong, does H.I.M. refer to something else? I think Her Infinite Majesty sounds good. And in small letters here re: aint, he couldn't even properly contract it with an apostrophe *rolls eyes*. My inner third grade teacher is a bitch. H.I.M. the Finnish band was named after "His Infernal Majesty", in other words Satan. The top answers in Quora claim that it might mean "love God or Satan", or "love man or God". www.quora.com/What-does-capital-H-I-M-in-Lady-Gagas-Born-this-Way-refer-toI tend to agree with the former, since Lady Gaga used periods to denote an abbreviation, and spoke it as an abbreviation too...

Very interesting article. Proof once again that people don't choose to be gay they are just made that way. Indeed! My Cliff Notes synopsis was going to be — It's natural and complicated and normal.
