Melbourne
(ANI):
Pop
star
Lady
Gaga
has
used
Twitter
as
a
tool
to
silence
protesters
making
gay
hate
speech
and
violent
messages.
The
group
held
signs
with
homophobic
phrases
and
cried
out
that
Lady
Gaga
was
immoral,
reports
Perez
Hilton.
In
response,
the
singer
took
to
her
Twitter,
telling
fans
to
ignore
the
protests.
"At
the
risk
of
drawing
attention
to
a
hateful
organisation,
I
would
like
to
make
my
little
monster
fan
aware
of
a
protest
being
held
outside
the
Monsterball
in
St.Louis
tonight," the
Daily
Telegraph
quoted
Gaga
as
writing
on
Twitter.com.
"Although
we
have
had
protesters
before,
as
well
as
fundamentalists
at
the
show,
this
group
of
protesters
are
hate
criminals
and
preach
using
lewd
and
violent
language
and
imagery
that
I
wish
I
protect
you
all
from.
Their
message
is
of
hatred
and
divisiveness,
but
inside
at
the
Monsterball
we
preach
love
and
unity.
"My
request
to
all
little
monsters
and
public
authority
is
to
pay
these
hate
criminals
no
mind.
Do
not
interact
with
them,
or
try
to
fight.
Do
not
respond
to
any
of
their
provocation.
Don't
waste
your
words,
or
feelings,
no
matter
what
you
hear
or
see.
You
are
more
fortunate
and
blessed
than
they
are,
and
in
your
heart
just
pray
for
them.
Although
I
respect
and
do
not
judge
anyone
for
their
personal
views
on
any
politics
or
religion,
this
group
in
particular
to
me,
is
violent
and
dangerous.
"I
wanted
to
make
my
fans
aware
of
my
views
on
how
to
approach,
or
rather
not
approach,
these
kinds
of
hate
activists.
Be
inspired
to
ignore
their
ignorant
message,
and
feel
gratitude
in
your
heart
that
you
are
not
burdened
or
addicted
to
hate,
as
they
are.
X.
Tonight
love
and
hate
met
in
St.
Louis.
And
love
outnumbered
the
hate,
in
poetic
thousands.
Hate
left.
But
love
stayed.
+
Together,
we
sang,"
she
wrote.
