Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa has posted a message on YouTube in a bid to overturn a law that affects the rights of gays and lesbians in the army.
The singer posted several messages on Twitter asking fans to campaign against the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law, which forces soldiers to keep their sexuality secret.
Although a vote is being held next week to scrap the law, GaGa is protesting against Senator John McCain, who plans to obstruct the motion.
She has since posted a message on YouTube, which shows the star dressed in a suit, sitting in front on an American flag.
GaGa gave several accounts of soldiers she had personally contacted who were kicked out of the US army after being outed by other members in the force.
After calling her local senators to no avail, she said: "I will not stop calling until I reach them and I can leave them this message.
"My name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, also known as Lady GaGa. I'm calling the Senators... to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and oppose John McCain's shameless filibuster."
She tweeted: "Anyone qualified to serve this country should be allowed to do so. We were born this way." (taheena)
