Gaga, who identifies as bisexual, has been a vocal ally of the queer community throughout her career.
Her speech from Grammy only comes a few days after President Donald Trump had reversed diversity, fairness, inclusion and accessibility initiatives.
His administration also recently removed transgender references from the websites of the federal government, while also stated that the US government would only recognize two sexes: male and feminine.
Trump has also called to limit gender -confirming care and to ban transgender people from military service.
The Governor of the Lone Star State, Greg Abbott, followed the example with similar efforts, recently announced in his State of the State address – only a few hours before the 67th Grammy Awards – that Texas would only recognize two genera.
