Born this way Foundation is meant to empower young people. Oprah Winfrey helped Lady Gaga launch this foundation at Harvard University. She would like to do a psychological autopsy on bullies and victims and find out what breeds anger.
A young 14-year-old boy opened up that he was gay on YouTube. He felt that Lady Gaga was amazing for her song “Born this Way.” His friends were not supportive and the pressure got too much, he ended up hanging himself in the middle of the night. His sister found the young boy’s body the next morning. Before he killed himself he left a message for Lady Gaga thanking her for her song. Lady Gaga dedicated a performance for him, and had faith that he was up there looking down.
So what does the lyrics to Born this Way mean? In my interpretation, Born this Way is about being you, and not regretting it. God made you that way for a reason, and he did not make a mistake and did not do it for the negative. He did it for a positive reason. Live your life, be yourself, and just have live life in the happiest fun aspect as you can.

It's sad that kids today are so judgmental towards each other and often feel as if there is no where to turn, so they turn to suicide. I love this song and it helps show how you're perfect the way you are.
