Lady Gaga has message for Russian gays: ‘You are not alone. We will fight for your freedom’

Lady Gaga is taking on the Russian government and its anti-gay law that prohibits anyone from showing support for LGBT people.

The singer defied the law when she performed in the country last December when she said during her performance: ‘Tonight, this is my house Russia. You can be gay in my house.’

On Twitter this afternoon, Gaga issued this challenge to the government: ‘Why didn’t you arrest me when you had the chance, Russia? Because you didn’t want answer to the world?’

She also sent out support to the gay community in Russia.

‘Sending bravery to LGBTs in Russia,’ Gaga tweeted. ‘The rise in government abuse is archaic. Hosing teenagers with pepper spray? Beatings? Mother Russia?’

‘The Russian government is criminal,’ she added. ‘Oppression will be met with revolution. Russian LGBTs you are not alone. We will fight for your freedom.’
