Lady Gaga vs. Malaysia
Apparently the heavy-handed radio stations of Malaysia are not too keen on the pro-gay message of Lady Gaga's newest ubiquitous single and have taken to editing out parts of "Born This Way." The monster-in-chief told her Malaysian fans to "do everything that you can if you want to be liberated by your society, you must call, you must not stop, you must protest peacefully."

BBC:
Speaking at Google’s Californian HQ, Gaga said it was fans’ “duty as young people to have their voices heard”.
In the song she sings “no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian trans gendered life, you were born this way”.
As she called for protests she added: “You must do everything that you can if you want to be liberated by your society, you must call, you must not stop, you must protest peacefully.”
