MANILA, Philippines - Christian young people in the Philippines protested Saturday against upcoming concerts by Lady Gaga despite organizers' assurances that her performances would not threaten morality.

About 200 Christian youths marched in Manila for a second straight day, holding placards urging the pop singer to "respect our faith, stop the blasphemy."

Lady Gag may learn that in some parts of the world, people aren’t convinced that they are “born this way”.

Somebody like Lady Gag is the worst part of American culture, exported to the rest of the world, and the rest of the world is supposed to be “tolerant” of the worst of American pop culture. Liberals do not understand why there would be any protests about Lady Gag.

Good! Christians worldwide should unite to keep this depraved sicko out of their cities.

Lady Gaga had a music video for the song “Alejandro” where she dressed as a nun, pretended to swallow a rosary, danced nearly nude, had half naked men dancing around her, and simulated graphic sex with these men and the men simulated it with each other. It was vile mockery of the Catholic faith.

The Phillipines has a large population of devout Catholics, and it takes guts for these young people to stand up for their faith. I couldn’t see that happening here.

Be respectful, her name is not lady gag, its “lady gag-gag”

We're thinking of retiring there if this becomes Argentina or Venezuela.

Agreed. She needs to take Lady off her name. There’s nothing ladylike about her.

what is strange to me is why she is still popular. She apes Madonna, but Madonna, for all her risque acts still could sing. If you hear LG on the radio, it is not good singing.

It's funny this is the impression I get of her instead, maybe because I never heard or saw her rock stuff. I thought she was jazz.
