Los Angeles, Feb 3 (NationPress) Actress-singer Lady Gaga captured attention after securing the Grammy Award for the best pop duo/group performance, during which she highlighted trans individuals in her acceptance speech.

“It’s a tremendous honour to perform for all of you. I want to emphasize tonight that trans people are not invisible,” Gaga stated, according to variety.com.

“Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be uplifted. Music is love. Thank you.”

Gaga won the Grammy alongside Bruno Mars for their collaboration “Die With a Smile.”

While Gaga did not delve into political specifics during her speech, her comments resonate amid a series of executive orders from US President Donald Trump affecting trans individuals.

Among these orders is one that mandates the federal government to recognize only two immutable sexes, and another requiring transgender women in federal custody to be relocated to men’s facilities, as reported by variety.com.

The Trump administration has also targeted transgender members of the U.S. military with an executive order asserting that being trans “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”

Gaga has consistently been a supporter of the LGBTQ community.

Her nonprofit, the Born This Way Foundation, aims to empower young individuals to create a “kinder, braver world,” with Gaga also advocating for queer individuals through her lyrics.

Earlier during the award show, Gaga performed “California Dreamin'” with Mars, paying tribute to Los Angeles after the recent wildfires. She also revealed a new music video for “Abracadabra,” from her forthcoming album “Mayhem” during a commercial break.

The mid-Grammys reveal of the song and its music video had been anticipated, though the actual song title was not disclosed at the time. Gaga had previously announced that the “Mayhem” album would be released on March 7.
