Yesterday was a very important day in history, whether you realize it or not. Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia, launched The Born This Way Foundation.

The Born This Way Foundation was founded in 2011 to foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated. The Foundation is dedicated to creating a safe community that helps connect young people with the skills and opportunities they need to build a braver, kinder world.
