Lady Gaga has taken center stage in the battle for the legalization of gay marriage in New York.

She is gathering support for New York’s Marriage Equality Act which passed in the Assembly last night.

At the Assembly, Dov Hikind used a picture of Gaga to support his argument against the bill.

“One of the things I love, I got to tell you. I came close to maybe changing my point of view when I started looking at all the celebrities who were telling New Yorkers what the moral, what the right thing was. And none other came close Lady Gaga,” said Hikind. “When Lady Gaga got involved and told us this, we should support gay marriage, you know I said Lady Gaga. You know she is my example of how I should lead my life and how I should behave. Came close, but I didn’t quite do it.”

Yeah, I didn’t understand that either.

But despite Hikind and others’ efforts, the measure passed 80-63.

Now that the measure has passed Assembly, it has to make it to the Senate floor.

To gather support, Gaga has taken to Twitter to call on all of her New York little monsters to call their Senators to help legalize gay marriage in the state of New York.

Here’s a video of Gaga answering questions for a French TV show.

Why, you ask? Because she’s great.
