What Would a Gender, Sexuality, and Music Blog be Without Gaga?

I want to start by saying that I am a HUGE fan of Lady Gaga. I have a great deal of respect for her advocacy of the LGBT community, and I don't believe that this blog would be complete without sharing some of the work that she does, and the ways that she is recognized for it. While it's not that recent, I came across this article from the Huffington Post, which talks about how Gaga was the recipient of a Trevor Hero Award, given  to her by the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project, as the article states, is "the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people under 24."
