Lady Gaga: Hard to Be Gay; Don’t Be Ashamed, Be Proud

Lady Gaga’s concert last night in Istanbul had the air of a festival. 

Held in İTÜ Stadium, the concert attracted audience with colorful costumes and rainbow flags. The participation of LGBTI people was high due to Lady Gaga’s pro-LGBTI activism. 

“I travelled around the world. It is really hard being a gay. Don’t be ashamed of who you are and be proud of yourself. Because God loves us all,” Lady Gaga told her audience. 

While she changed 10 different outfits during her performance, she remained with her g-string lingerie on the stage during the song “Bad Romance”.

Lady Gaga’s Istanbul concert was the first destination of "Lady Gaga's artRAVE: the ARTPOP Ball" in Europe. 

Arriving in Istanbul with 21 truckloads of equipment and 144 crews, Lady Gaga will tour in 68 cities and have 78 performances. (ÇT/BM)
