A DADT Video Message From Gaga

Lady Gaga released a video early Friday that directs viewers to call their senators in advance of next week's vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, which houses "don't ask, don't tell" repeal.

Gaga addressed the message to her fellow Americans, youths, and Republican senators, including John McCain, who has threatened to filibuster "don't ask, don't tell" repeal.

"I am here to be a voice for my generation, not the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country, the generation that is affected by this law, and whose children will be affected," said Gaga.

"We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral implications of homosexuality. We're asking you to do your job, to protect the Constitution," she said.

Watch the video, which includes special instructions on how to call your senator.
