Pop star Lady Gaga has called for an “harmonious” and “intelligent” response to Donald Trump’s presidency.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump’s cabinet includes conservatives who oppose gay rights, and Gaga said she would work to protect advances made by the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n
“[We] are going to do everything that we can to protect the social progress we have made over the last eight years,” she told BBC News.<\/p>\n
“Political progress cannot happen unless there is social progress.<\/p>\n
“You can create lots of jobs, you can create new policy – but those things cannot work unless people like each other, unless people are kind to one another.<\/p>\n
“We need to stay in a kind place and we need to bond during this time, and be as harmonious as possible, and intelligent in the way we approach this.”<\/p>\n
