On this day in 2011: February 11: Lady Gaga released 'Born This Way'.

The lead single from the album of the same name, 'Born This Way' has become a staple queer anthem for the LGBTQ+ community.

Where “Just Dance” was Gaga’s proclamation that she could be a pop star, “Born This Way” was her declaration of the type of pop star she wanted to be: one with a point of view and a soapbox to stand on.

It worked too, considering the song was labelled the the most “inspirational” LGBTQ+ song of all time by Rolling Stone in 2023.

From the reverberating hum of the first line, “It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M”, to the cacophony of synths buzzing around that anthemic chorus, to the hand clap-backed rap about being trans and Lebanese, “Born This Way” is weird, wonderful, and a forever Pride classic.
