Dear Lady Gaga,

Dear Lady Gaga,
First I would like to start my letter by explaining to you how hard it was to title this essay. Do I write it to GAGA, the crazed but amazing superstar, Stephanie Joanne Germanotta, the forgotten old identity, or Lady Gaga the person whose music is as big as her heart? I chose to write Dear Lady Gaga because I know that Lady Gaga is even more marvelous then she appears and she would understand my ink. A peace sign is a peace sign, if you walk into any Victoria Secret you will see peace signs and peace related slogans all over their clothing, you can even buy a bra with peace sign on underwear with the word peace across the butt. To me, peace is peace, it's everyone being alright with everyone, its no fighting, its just good old fashioned loving. You have a permanent tattoo of a peace sign on your wrist. It's permanent which means its there to stay, and peace should be too. I am not old enough to get permanently inked with the peace sign on my wrist, but i draw it on with permanent marker everyday, it reminds me that if i want to be loved, and accepted, i msut love and accept others first. You are a role model to me, you are a beacon of hope for the world, and a light in a dark world. Your fashion, music, values all inspire me to be me. You are the greatest advocate the gay community could ask for, you do your best to stop homophobia in the music industry and you give a voice to the closeted. I carry you with me in the same way i carry my late grandmother with me, i use you as a guidance to get me through the pain and suffering and to guide me to happiness. You are on my mind all day and i honestly love it. Your just the greatest thign that has ever happened to me, i chose to adore you, and i chose to continue to do so. It is a good decision on my part, because you are a role model to me in many ways. The way you wear whatever you want shows me that fashion is personal, and i should wear whatver i want, and let nothing hold me back because no item of clothign is too risque. I am attending your concert tonight, and i will be wearing black leather leggings and a black t-shirt with lots of glitter. My neighbor maura will be spiking my hair, and doing my makeup with glitter, eyeliner, and eye shadow, all silver of course. I have never actually been this excited for anything, and writing this paper makes me want to jump for joy. You are fearless, and nothing can stop you. I worship you i want to be jsut like you. and slowly i am. The peace sign is just a start. . . but continue to inspire me. You are the thing i carry with me, and i don't ever want that to change. Without you i would be stuck hiding from who i am, and i would not know what i know now. At the equality march you chanted this at the end of your speech, and i repeat it constantly, " BLESS GOD . . . AND BLESS THE GAYS." Thank you for everything, and never stop being unique.
Love,
Patrick Elvin
