On Sunday, Lady Gaga’s album Born This Way celebrated its tenth anniversary, and the City of West Hollywood proclaimed May 23 to be “Born This Way Day.” West Hollywood Mayor Lindsey P. Horvath also presented Gaga with the key to the area. “Thank you for encouraging us to love ourselves and be proud,” Horvath told Gaga.
To kick off, West Hollywood’s Pride season, a street painting featuring the album’s title was also unveiled today. Carl Bean, a gay black religious activist who preached, sang, and wrote about being ‘Born This Way,’ influenced the song and album. His earliest work dates from 1975, 11 years before Lady Gaga was born.
