Lady Gaga takes on N.Y. lawmakerCNHI News Service BUFFALO, N.Y. — A state senator who had expressed opposition to gay marriage now understands that Lady Gaga has some political star power as well. She told her “little monsters,” as she called them, to inundate the inbox of Sen. Mark Grisanti with e-mail messages showing their support for a marriage bill. A Grisanti spokesman said about 600 messages representing “both sides of the issue” had been received by Monday. The Grisanti camp said Lady Gaga is a terrific performer who is entitled to her opinion. Not all of the attention was negative, it helped him attract name recognition in the highly Democratic area, political observers noted. Grisanti is scheduled to meet with a group that lobbies on gay-related issues this week to discuss the legislation. Details for this story were provided by the Niagara (N.Y.) Gazette. |
