Lady Gaga Tweets Support of Fan Sent Home From School Over "Lady Gay Gay" Shirt

A Lady Gaga fan was sent home from school in Tennessee for wearing a shirt with the words "I <3 Lady Gay Gay" – and the singer took to her Twitter to support him.

"Been in the studio for days and hours of record after record… when I hear that a little monster was discriminated against* BY TEACHERS," she Tweeted at the 15-year-old Cole Goforth. "I love you cole, you just be yourself. You're perfect the way God made you. #colethegreat."
Goforth was sent home on Monday from Greenbrier High School in Greenbrier, Tenn., because the shirt was considered a "disruption."

For her part, Gaga – an outspoken advocate of gay rights — called the young fan an inspiration.
"It reminds me of my commitment + love for u, and the deep unconditional devotion I feel to write music that will liberate you from prejudice," she Tweeted. "Thank u for wearing your tee-shirt proud at school, you make me so proud, at the monsterball, you are an inspiration to us all. I love you."
