During a rally for the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" yesterday in Maine, Lady Gaga said the law was "backwards."

"Doesn't it seem to be, based on the Constitution of the United States that we're penalizing the wrong soldier?" she said to a crowd of cheering students. "Doesn't it seem to you that we should send home the prejudice, the straight soldier who hates the gay soldier." Gaga went on, emotionally, "The straight soldier, who's performance in the military is affected because he is homophobic."

Despite her recent campaigning to repeal the law, it failed to get enough votes in the Senate today to merit more serious debate.

But Gaga's not giving up. Today she tweeted to Senator John McCain (the most outspoken opponent of the repeal), "the language in defense bill says it will not enforce DADT repeal until pentagon review president signs. Why block debate?"
