Gaga nixxes deal with Target over recent donations to anti-gay political groups

[KarmaContestant]

Ultimately, there is and always has been an awful amount of homophobia in the gay community. It's saddening, to say the least - and usually unrecognizeable as such by the very people perpetuating it. I was very guilty of this in my younger days - I was horrrified at being perceived as being like that at drag shows or gay pride parades. It took being called out on it by straight friends to make me realize that there was some truth in it before I could put an end to what was, essentially, self loathing.

We've come a long way, but we have a long way to go.
