Predsednik Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, Barack Obama, održao je u Vašingtonu godišnji prijem pod nazivom "Human Rights Campaign Gala". Prijemu su uglavnom prisustvovali pripadnici LGBT populacije, a gde su oni, tu je Lady Gaga.
Gaga je još ranije preko twittera tražila sastanak sa Obamom zbog samoubistva 14-godišnjeg Jamia Rodermeyera koji je izvršio samoubistvo zbog maltretiranja u školi kada se saznalo za njegovu seksualnu orjentaciju. Pevačica je tražila da maltretiranje u školi bude zakonom kažnjivo i povodom sastanka je na twitteru napisala:
"Imaću sastanak sa našim predsednikom. Neću prestati da se borim. Ovo mora da prestane. naša generacija ima snage da sa ovim završi jednom zauvek. Trend #MakeALawForJamey.
Protekle dane sam provela u razmišljanju, u suzama i plakanju. I besu - toliko se besa nakupilo u meni. Teško je osećati ljubav, kada čista surovost oko vas ljudima oduzima živote. Malteretiranje mora da postane ilegalno. To je jedan zločin iz mržnje".
Obama je sastanak sa Gagom prokomentarisao na sledeći način:
"Održao sam produktivne bilateralne razgovore sa vašom predvodnicom. Nosila je štikle od 40 santimetara. Delovala je kao da je visoka 2,5 metra. Bilo je pomalo zastrašujuće".
Sada ostaje samo da se vidi da li je Gaga bila dovoljno zastrašujuća.

A president of the USA, Barack Obama, hosted the annual "Human Rights Campaign Gala". LGBT population was a majority of a crowd and where they are, there is Lady Gaga too.
Gaga asked for a meeting with the president through twitter because of a suicide of a 14-year-old Jamie Rodermeyer who was bulied in school after his sexsual orientation was discovered. The singer demands that a school bullying be illegal and she tweeted next lines about the meeting:
"I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey.Obama also commented on this meeting:
The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someone’s life. Bullying must become be illegal. It is a hate crime."
"I held some productive bilateral talks with your leader. She was wearing 16-inch heels. She was eight feet tall. It was a little intimidating."Now let's wait and see if Gaga intimidated him enough.
