Lady Gaga sits down with Barbara Walters in a 2010 interview and admits to bisexuality and having sexual relationships with women.

[religionsinyourlips-archive]

I know one of my last reblogs was about Lady Gaga and bi erasure, but as someone who’s stanned Gaga since 2009 (and used her to try to come out as bisexual in middle school which did not work in my favor), I have seen so much shit that needs to be talked about because it’s ridiculous and incredibly disheartening.

so. back in March of 2009, Gaga said in a Rolling Stone interview that her sexual attraction to women, while solely sexual, had caused issues in her romantic relationships with men because they found her attraction to women to be intimidating. in December of that year, Gaga had a sit down interview with Barbara Walters where she discussed the meaning of Poker Face and explicitly came out as bisexual. when Born This Way (both single and album) came out in 2011, Gaga was hailed as a “gay icon” and “great ally”, but between 2011 and 2012, a video of a gay man at a pride parade circulated a bit on social media about how Gaga wasn’t “one of us” and that she needed to stop acting like she was such a great ally and gay icon and all that. then during the Artpop era, she publicly talked about and defended, not once but twice, her bisexuality (a Q&A at a club in Berlin and on Watch What Happens Live). she mentioned how people had accused her of saying she was bisexual for marketing and to be shocking. she was pretty chill about it on WWHL, but was much more annoyed and unhappy (as she should’ve been) at the Q&A, saying the following: “You know what? It’s not a lie that I am bisexual and I like women, and anyone that wants to twist this into ‘she says she’s bisexual for marketing,’ this is a fucking lie. This is who I am and who I have always been.”.

the fact that she had to essentially come out yet again yesterday, after speaking out and defending herself multiple times over many years, is fucking ridiculous. she’s been an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community for so long and because people assume all allies are straight, her sexuality has been ignored and invalidated (I have said it before and I will stay it again: I am very much an ally but I am also very much a lesbian.). because people have only seen her in romantic relationships with men and not women, her sexuality has been ignored and invalidated. 

to both cishet and LGBTQ+ community members: no matter who you’re looking at or talking about, bisexual is bisexual, no matter how sexually or romantically attracted to different genders people are. bisexual is bisexual, no matter who you see a bisexual person dating. if someone says they’re bisexual, they’re bisexual, no matter what you see or what you think. stop erasing their identity and accusing them of being full of shit because you’re fucking ignorant.

Do you know if lady gaga has ever come out or like explicitly stated that she was bi. Cause i see ppl sometimes saying she uses the vagueness around her sexuality to her advantage. I've always thought she wasn't straight, but I don't have any concrete "proof". So now I'm wondering if ppl saying that is bi erasure?

Data: May 10,2021

I collected the best ten in interviews, In the beginning I worked on Barbara Walters ,Including five interviews by Barbara Walters, after that I worked on another five interviews by Larry king, the first developing four points explaining and analyzing these interviews the type of, second description of the interview the interview quality, third questions, and fourth the interview style.

Biography of Barbara Walters: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Barbara-Walters

Barbara Walters was born on September 25, 1929. She is an American journalist in the fields of journalism, writing, and broadcasting. She works for the National Broadcasting Corporation ABC News magazine. Barbara Walters has presented many morning televisions programs, such as "Today" and "The View." She also presented the magazine "News Magazine", in addition to her work as an assistant broadcaster on the World News program at ABC News.

Walters was famous in her early days for her presentation of the morning television news program “Today”, which she presented on NBC News for more than 10 years. Walters gave thousands of private interviews where she interviewed many famous American and international personalities. She also conducted an interview with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the late Egyptian President Muhammad Anwar Sadat, the late Jordanian King Hussein, Chinese Prime Minister Jiang Zemin, former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, former Russian President Paul Yeltsin, the current Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi. Barbara has also met all American presidents and their wives since the Richard Nixon administration.

This American journalist succeeded because she was determined to continue striving and was doing her best to win the public's approval, and her program was also met with a great response from viewers.

Biography of Larry King: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Larry-King

Larry King was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Russian Jewish immigrant family in 1933. Larry King was at the age of nine when his father died from a heart attack. Due to this tragic incident, his mother had to live on subsidies to raise him and his younger brother. Larry King went on to find work after he graduated from high school.

His dream was to work in the media, so a friend advised him to go to Miami, and there he applied to work in a small radio station. In the restaurant, his wages were only $ 50 a week.

King is described as a giant of television presentation, as he was a successful partner in founding CNN from 1985 until 2010, and won many awards including two Peabody Awards, a prestigious award given annually by the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia in recognition of for media achievements.

In 1995, he met the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, the Jordanian monarch King Hussein, and the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He introduced everyone on the screen through his program, and his guest list included a wide spectrum, from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor, from Mikhail Gorbachev to Barack Obama and from Bill Gates to Lady Gaga. He had even met with Paris Hilton who spoke about her time in prison in 2007 and had also met Michael Jackson's friends and family members to talk about his death in 2009.

The famous American journalist Larry King, one of the most prominent media faces in the United States, died on Saturday at the age of 87, at the Cedars Sinai Center in Los Angeles, due to infection with the Corona virus. Larry King has been described as the master of the microphone, giving around 50 thousand interviews in his life. He was famous for wearing bras in his conversations, during which he hosted world leaders, movie stars and community celebrities.

Barbara Walters.

The first interview is E.L. James in Barbara Walters 10 most fascinating people. https://youtu.be/XzRbcL-a6M8

Interview description:

The interview is about the book '50 Shades of Grey' and the author of the book is asked many questions about it. She is asked about how it has affected her personal life and about her feelings towards it.

Style of interviewing

The style is casual but very comedic. The interviewer is very personal at times and extremely forward. She even repeats a question when she doesn't get a full answer. Both and interviewer and author can be heard laughing several times. Overall, it is a very open and informal style of interviewing.

Types of questions

The interviewer asks very open and personal questions. The questions allow the author to explain herself.

Quality of the interview

The quality is good for its theme and style. The interviewer's tone of voice suits the comedic and casual style of the interview. It is quite funny and there are several moments of laughter. However, in terms of professionalism, I would say that some of the questions were quite inappropriate.

Larry king.

The first interview stared Sacha Baron Cohen. https://youtu.be/qqa7YhsroW8

Interview description:

The interview was not official between the journalist and the guest, and the atmosphere of the interview was also filled with ridicule, mockery and belittling of Arab presidents who were recorded in history at their best. The guest showed poor behavior during the interview.

Style of interviewing:

The style of the interview was neither interesting nor enjoyable, and the guest had the audacity to imitate some of the dictatorial Arab presidents. There was a lack of enthusiasm in the interview.

Types of questions:

The types of questions between the two parties were generally normal but at times the guest would refrain from answering some questions and the journalist would repeat the question to obtain the answer. I would not consider the questions as having been too strong or embarrassing.

Quality of the interview:

The atmosphere in the interview was one in which there was a lack of commitment and respect by the guest to the journalist. For example, the guest was taking saliva out of his mouth on to the floor in front of the journalist and was acting in other disgusting manners.

Conclusion:

After completing the analysis of the interviews, we will present to you a graph that shows you what points were repeated a lot and what points were repeated a little in terms of previous interviews, formal or informal, the atmosphere of the interview, the type of questions and the quality of the interview.

Also, in terms of my research and my follow-up of the top ten interviews of Larry king and Barbara Walters, I found that "Barba" enjoys direct questions with the guests, and that she seeks to meet very official figures, for example she has interviewed several heads of state and politicians in the world, and that she seeks to be the one who did the first interview. In her interviews with people, the formal atmosphere is dominant. However, the questions vary from an individual to another.

As for the interviews of Larry king, they are largely based on comedic questions and personal questions from one person to another, as Larry king’s interviews are often informal, but rather rely on laughter and comedy, and he works to smooth out the atmosphere with various questions.
