This is the latest viral video aimed at promoting discount retailer Target a for it's support of anti-gay politicians and organizations. Target used to be a favorite of the LGBT community for its unique and combination of style and discount pricing.

Last week Lady GaGa called off an exclusive deal for the sale of her upcoming deluxe album. Target reps had claimed that they had always included pro-LGBT organizations in their corporate giving. Critics claim this only came about after word got out about last year's anti-gay donations.
 
It came out last year that the the retailer had been donating to anti-gay former Republican candidate Tom Emmer, who lost is bid to become Minnesota governor. The LGBT Community has been boycotting the retailer ever since. Some reports indicated a 2% drop in Target sales during the 2010 holiday season, while other retailers saw increases over the previous year's sales.

Best Buy owned by the same corporation and is also being targeted for boycott.

Lady Gaga, "Born This Way": Official Over-Blown Music Video (Possibly NSFW)

Okay kids, here's the latest Gaga video that everybody has been talking about. Mother Monster's latest music video, "Born This Way" celebrates the LGBT community in her characteristic over-blown style. It's got sort of a Dune-inspired, sci-fi epic melodrama vibe that will give her fans more of what they love and her critics more of what they don't. The operative word here is more.

Elton John was so impressed by "Born This Way" that he called it a new gay anthem and has chosen Gaga to be godmother to his infant son, Zachary. And you thought Madonna's kids were gonna need therapy.

Speaking of Mother Madge, it's become increasingly hard to believe that this song was not at least inspired by "Express Yourself", especially with the gap-toothed homage to the material girl at the end.
