A message from Lady Gaga's mother about the Born That Way Foundation

The following is a message from Cynthia Germanotta, mother of Lady Gaga and co-founder of the Born That Way Foundation:

We're moving toward a brave new world, Drew Wilson, and it's all thanks to you!

Since the Born This Way Foundation launched an overwhelming number of people have joined the movement toward love, empowerment, and acceptance. My daughter and I are thrilled you are part of our community.

But our work is just beginning. Right now there are a few simple things you can do to help build a stronger society:

Talk to your friends and family:
There's nothing more important and meaningful than advice from a friend or family member. You have the power to change people's hearts, minds and attitudes. The Born This Way Foundation has email text, tweets and Facebook posts written for you -- just sign on to spread the message.

Tell us what bravery means to you:
Our hope is that through this Foundation, more people will find the courage to speak out for equality, individuality and acceptance. If you have already found your voice, share it with others. Who knows, maybe your words will inspire someone else.

I am so proud of my daughter for wanting to form this Foundation, and I am honored that she asked me to be part of it. And now we have all have an incredible opportunity to build this movement together.

When you signed up to be a part of the Born This Way Foundation, you started writing your own history, Drew Wilson. For that, we are both incredibly grateful.

Thank you for being a leader in the cause to inspire a loving and accepting society. You are the reason we started this.

With gratitude,

Cynthia Germanotta
