Back in the day, Lady Gaga’s sexuality became a hot topic on the internet because of a rumor suggesting that the singer might be a hermaphrodite, having genitals of both sexes. At the time, a lot of people believed that she had a penis but Lady Gaga, being the unbothered queen that she is, didn’t think it was such a big deal.
In a clip from a 60 Minutes Overtime interview that was recently shared by a Lady Gaga fan account on Twitter, Gaga was asked by Anderson Cooper about the rumor that she had “a male appendage, that [she was] a hermaphrodite”. The singer, while popping a fake diamond in her mouth (LOL, only Gaga, right?), promptly replied with: “Maybe I do. Would it be so terrible?
“Why the hell am I going to waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a penis? My fans don’t care and neither do I.”

After the clip resurfaced online, some fans recalled “not caring” about Gaga’s alleged penis and listening to her when they were younger because Lady Gaga’s music is one of the best things that ever happened in the last decade.

LGBTQ+ fans in particular commended Gaga for exposing how vile public opinion is and thanked her for helping the younger generation of trans women. She has stood by her “queer fans whose existence has always been shamed and refused to argue about their validity,” and educated people about transphobia.

Isn’t it crazy how times have changed? Imagine someone asking Ariana Grande or Billie Eilish if they had a penis on national television in 2020.

Aside from being an active ally of the LGBTQ+ community, Lady Gaga has always been known for shutting down sexists remarks and using her platform to speak up for victims of sexual abuse.
