Lady Gaga has hit the headlines once again, and this time the superstar is being accused of 'influencing young fans to turn gay.'
Gaga received the criticism after announcing a new partnership with a leading US gay rights campaign group.
Gaga's 'Born This Way Foundation' recently teamed with Office Depot in a bid to create a 'braver, kinder school year' with the added help of the eccentric singer herself.

However, in trying to do something charitable with her status, the star has now been accused of being 'irresponsible.'
The Florida Family Association (FFA) had spoken out, saying that Gaga is sending an "irresponsible message to many teens who would have eventually chosen to be straight."
"The one million dollar pledge from Office Depot to the Lady Gaga Born this Way Foundation will influence many teens to embrace homosexuality for their lifetime who may have otherwise worked through their crisis with straight results," says a statement on the FFA website.
"Thousands of kids who might have otherwise worked through their pubescent sexual identity issues will be inspired to accept the wrong choice based upon this unscientific, emotionally charged propaganda."
The statement continues: "What’s brave or kind about telling thousands of sexually frustrated teens that they were Born This Way when a high percentage of them would have ended up taking the straight heterosexual path for life?"
Office Depot have since remained quiet about the whole thing,. However a spokesman for the stationery company has praised Gaga's work, calling it: "an inspirational organization that has the power to make a difference in the lives of today’s youth."
