A number of
Lady Gaga's LGBT "little monsters" wondered what the heck she was thinking striking a deal with Target, the object of a large boycott by the queer community. The singer recently announced she is releasing a special edition of her new album Born This Way exclusively through the retail giant. But her loyal queer fans need not fear as Mama Monster kept them in mind when striking the deal, making sure that she took Target to task for their past actions and working specific deals into the contract to get the company to right its past wrongs.
"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I’ve ever had in a business meeting,” Gaga told
Billboard. “Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they’ve made in the past…our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they’ve made supporting those groups.”
