Lady Gaga took the opportunity of her acceptance speech for Best Pop Duo at the [2025 Grammys](https://mashable.com/article/grammy-awards-2025-winners-nominees) to voice her support for the trans community.

“Trans individuals are not to be overlooked,” Lady Gaga stated during the heartfelt moment, sharing the stage with her “Die With a Smile” partner and co-winner Bruno Mars. “Trans individuals are worthy of love, and the queer community should be celebrated. Music embodies love. Thank you.”

Her impactful remarks respond to a contentious executive order recently enacted by President Donald Trump, which requires the U.S. government to recognize only two genders. [Interestingly, the phrasing of the order may have inadvertently categorized every person in the nation as female.](https://mashable.com/article/trump-executive-order-sex-female-male-gender)
