This was funny, I'll give you that. But it's simply untrue
I can't at how often people discredit the work Gaga has done for gay rights and the visibility of their issues. No, she is not the only one and, no, she is certainly not the first one, but she one of the biggest and most genuine supporters of LGBTQ activism today and that is an undeniable fact. Personal opinions about her music aside, you have to give her credit for utilizing her popularity and starpower to push for real, tangible change on the political level.
And basically what this article is saying is that "gay" has been normalized even before the music video for Call Me Maybe was even released; the author argues that apathetic reactions to the video's inclusion of homosexuality mean that society is progressing. This is debatable...but the fact of the matter is that the music video ITSELF did not have a "positive impact" on the gay rights movement or any sort of national acceptance of homosexuality. It's kind of embarrassing how many people here are acting like it was
