Lady Gaga Alejandro, She does it again

Lady Gaga does it again. Alejandro is bold and contains imagery that will stimulate the mind of any who dare watch this racy video. The music video start with a military like scene as it moves on to a very dark gothic view of gaga, in a very outspoken what can only be describe as a cyber-gothic dress. What follows is a bit of controversy a coffin carried by a group of military men as she carries a heart, these military like images and the men who portray them in her video can been seen as a slap to the U.S. Military Policy of "Don't Ask, Don't tell" and this is apparent through the video as the men portraying the army of gaga rub off as gay. It is also apparent by Gaga's comment on Larry King where she stated that Alejandro is a "homoerotic military theme".

Lady Gaga also stated to king that "I struggle with my feelings about the Church in particular....in terms of religion, I'm very religious. I was raised Catholic. I believe in Jesus. I believe in God. I'm very spiritual. I pray very much. But at the same time, there is no one religion that doesn't hate or speak against or be prejudiced against another racial group or religious group, or sexual group. For that, I think religion is also bogus. So I suppose you could say I'm a quite religious woman that is very confused about religion. And I dream and envision a future where we have a more peaceful religion or a more peaceful world, a more peaceful state of mind for the younger generation. And that's what I dream for." Which might explain the Catholic images in Alejandro, it might suggest that it is a reference to how the catholic church demonizes gays. Besides all the controversy that this video might cause watching Alejandro could be compared to watching "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", and "Justify my Love" on a visual basis. As a gay man Alejandro is just an amazing video despite if it might seem controversial and polarizing It makes me want to dance, and admire gaga's support for her "little monsters". I'm not afraid to say that make me feel special in some way, and in many ways make me thankful to have artist that can recognize what we are about. If anything Alejandro is a video that can't be ignored and is a must watch even if you hate Gaga.
