"The particular lyrics in 'Born This Way' may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia's social and religious observances," said AMP Radio Networks; the country's top private radio operator, in a statement. "The issue of being gay, lesbian or [bisexual] is still considered as a 'taboo' by general Malaysians."
For me I think we all need a bit of a push, we might as well get past all our judgments and such out and to the wind, it's time for change.
The lyrics in question to this song that is number one on the music charts, are:
“No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track, baby."
Just so everyone can understand as to why Malaysia is offended. I think if they are going to be allowing US entertainment in they should know what they are getting themselves into, instead of complaining. But hey I’m sure Lady Gaga likes the publicity regardless, she’s not Malaysian she isn’t offended.
The vocals have now been changed in Malaysia to a jumble of words that cannot be made out in any language to suffice.
