Clarifying the intention of the 'Be a Lady For Our Community' petition, a leader of one LGBTQ communities says he wants GaGa to learn first hand the struggles they are going through.
Fans from LGBTQ communities are actually not urging to cancel her Arizona concert this coming Saturday, July 31. Offering an update to the "Be a Lady For Our Community" petition story, L.A. Weekly reported that the leader of one LGBTQ communities has clarified their true intention.

"I made it in hopes that I can get Lagy Gaga to meet with the community and learn first hand the struggles we are going through," the so-called leader wrote in an e-mail he sent to L.A. Weekly. "I am NOT asking that she cancel her concert but to denounce sb1070, spread awareness at the show, and bring attention/following to the issues of the LGBTQ migrant community."

The online petition, calling the "Poker Face" singer to scrap her upcoming concert at US Airways Center in Phoenix, has surfaced earlier. It read, "The state of Arizona is EXTRA right now. A wave of laws like sb 1070 is making it a crime to be brown and putting whole communities at risk. Both migrant and LGBTQ communities know what it is to have to fight for our full human dignity to be affirmed. You have the opportunity to play a special role in that fight in Arizona."

"Communities have called for a boycott of the state to make it happen. As an icon and beloved artist, please join us in boycotting Arizona and turn your trip into an opportunity to meet your little monsters in the Migrant LGBTQ.munity so that you can speak out against the hateful laws and be a champion for this human rights cause."

SB1070 is a controversial Arizona immigration law that requires local authorities to determine a person's immigration status if he or she is suspected of being undocumented. Hall & Oates, and are among those who have stepped forward to sound off their protests against the law.
