Lady Gaga slams transphobic ‘degradation’ of her photo with Dylan Mulvaney: ‘Hatred is violence’ – https://ew.com/lady-gaga-slams-transphobes-dylan-mulvaney-photo-womens-day-8607433
“Nearly 13 years after releasing the first No. 1-charting song in history to feature the word “transgender” in its lyrics, Lady Gaga has taken a firm stance against transphobic hatred after receiving intense criticism from conservative individuals for posing for a photo with trans celebrity Dylan Mulvaney.
The 37-year-old “Born This Way” singer-songwriter called out the “appalling” feedback she and Mulvaney, 27, received for their recent portrait, which was taken at a Feb. 29 Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals event for its Photomedicine Foundation, but incorrectly spread as a photo taken to mark International Women’s Day on March 9.
“When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it ‘backlash’ I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. ‘Backlash’ would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did,” Gaga wrote Monday on Instagram, referencing Mulvaney resharing the photo on her profile with the caption “Happy international women’s day.””
