Lady Gaga 'training' to become a minister to perform gay marriages


Popstar Lady GaGa is reportedly training to become an ordained minister in order to perform gay marriages for her LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) fans.

According to British tabloid, the Daily Star, the bisexual singer has been spurred on by the continuing row over gay marriages in California.

The newspaper quotes a source who said: “GaGa has already taken an online course and is preparing to complete paperwork to become a qualified minister.”

In July, Lady Gaga hit out at members of Westboro Baptist Church, better known as 'God Hates Fags' calling them "hate criminals" after they held a protest outside her concert in St Louis, Missouri.

She took to her Twitter account before the gig to warn fans of the protest and ask them not to retaliate.

Gaga wrote: "At the risk of drawing attention to a hateful organisation, I would like to make my little monster fans aware of a protest being held outside the Monsterball in St Louis tonight.

"Although we have had protesters before, as well as fundamentalists at the show, this group of protesters are hate criminals and preach using lude [sic] and violent language and imagery that I wish I protect you all from.

"My request to [fans] and public authorities 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."

She continued: "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."

Westboro Baptist Church is known for picketing the funerals of US soldiers with slogans such as 'God hates fags'. It believes that the deaths of US soldiers in the middle east are God's punishment for a country which allows homosexuality.

Earlier this year, church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper said: "We will be going to her concert with placards reading 'God Hates Lady Gaga' – to inform people that they will be going to hell too if they listen to her messages.

“According to the Bible homosexuality is an abomination and she has to shut her filthy mouth and stop promoting it.”
