This month, Gaga has promoted her makeup line and shared a sponsored post about the migraine medication, Nurtec.

In the past, the Born This Way hitmaker has acknowledged Pride by dressing up and parading on the streets of her hometown.

Justin – who worked with Gaga on her song 911 – slammed the star in a series of deleted comments on her Nurtec ad.

He wrote: “She never cared about LGBTQ people. Ever. We were always pawns in her game. She called herself the Fame Monster.

“When people tell you who they are believe them.”

The singer added: “Is this funding the Born This Way Foundation?”

Gaga – who revealed in 2020 that she is on anti-psychotic medication – launched the nonprofit organization in 2012 to help young people with their mental health.

Justin’s comments were shared on a Reddit thread, where fans debated his stance.

Some supported the songwriter, with one writing: “Seems very odd that she wouldn’t make a happy pride post.”

Another added: “The thing is, she has used the LGBTQ community to further her career a lot.

“But now, the social and political climate around the LGBTQ community has become so much worse than its ever been.

“While Gaga was advocating for gays during a time of increasing LGBTQ acceptance, her career was also growing.

“But now that that acceptance is sliding backward, she isn’t saying anything. If feels wrong. Maybe you’d have to be a part of the community to understand, but it feels really off-putting.”

A third posted: “Love you but this is so poorly timed, the LGBTQ community is actively under attack and you’re securing a brand deal with painkillers?”

SUPPORT FOR GAGA

Others defended Gaga, pointing out her years of support and activism for the LGBTQ community.

One wrote: “She’s pretty clearly an ally of LGBT. An Instagram post or a lack of one doesn’t change her decade and a half of activism.”

Another agreed: “Gaga has shown countless empathy and allyship to the LGBT community her entire career through actual actions, donations, political campaigning, protests, music, etc. and has proven to be a staunch supporter.

“A silly little Instagram post is beyond her wheelhouse.”

Yet another user commented: “Yeah I really don’t need Lady Gaga to make a happy pride post in order to think she’s still an ally. She has very clearly cemented herself long ago.”

Gaga openly shared her support for LGBTQ people in her first cover story interview in 2009 for Out magazine.

BORN THIS WAY

She said: “I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream. It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life.

“So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”

Gaga has also spoken publicly about her own sexuality, revealing she is bisexual.

The Poker Face singer has attended marches to support the LGBTQ community.

In 2009, the then 23-year-old protested in the National Equality March against LGBTQ people not being able to serve openly in the military.

In 2016, she paid a visit to the LGBTQ homeless youth at New York’s Ali Forney Center over the holidays.

She has also performed at numerous concerts during Pride Month over the years.
