So obviously Gaga did have a brief moment where she was kissing another woman. Our society still finds that uncomfortable since it goes against the “norm”. Although who is to honestly say what the “norm” is? I found what she did with this part both flattering and upsetting. Yes, she did show the world hey two women kissing shouldn’t be an issue, but at the very same time she made it almost seem like a joke. I feel that Gaga doesn’t realize that while she is trying to make a point that it shouldn’t be a big deal, that she is also saying to society that it’s not about actual love, it’s about having fun and giving it a try.
It also felt like she was making attraction between two women look dirty and raunchy. I mean no one really goes around grabbing one another’s downstairs parts like that( I don’t know if I am allowed to say this…so sorry if anyone is offended). I know she was in a jail and it seemed like she was falling into the classic stereo type of what we “imagine” jail to be like. I’m sure I don’t need to describe.
When Gaga was wearing the American flag attire, I kind of got the impression that this is supposed to be America, and what people are like, or at least what they have been labeled as by society. By her wearing that I felt like her actions throughout the entire storyline were just little jabs at all of us as people trying to make us more open minded and realize that we are more than what we have been classified as.
Although, I could be very wrong and it is very possible that Gaga just wanted to dance around in caution tape, and make sandwiches with miracle whip. Who’s to say?
