Cameron to guest star in Lady Gaga video

Well, how amusing!

Apparently the Tory PM is a "huge Lady Gaga fan," and agreed to make a cameo appearance in one of her music videos in order to promote gay rights.

The song, probably not coincidentally, is called "government hooker," and will be a track on Born This Way.
You can hear some version of the song here. 

While we all know Dave's doing it purely for the publicity, it is a pretty good idea. It'll be funny, for one thing, and it'll make a pretty strong statement the the Conservatives aren't anti-gay any more. I'm not convinced that this term's government will make any real progress in regard to gay rights, but at least we know we probably won't be getting another Section 28.

  1. Interacting with Pop Culture worked with Obama: DaCam is merely following suit.

    I believe that gay right are far from recognised due to an accepted unease in modern culture (i.e. 'gaybies', homophobic humour, gay bishops, the media's obsession to discover a celebrity's undisclosed sexuality, etc.).

    I believe that a measured, accessible, and enlightening attitude is needed for acceptance and recognition of anyone's sexual orientation.
