My request to (fans) and public authorites (sic) is to pay these hate criminals no mind. Do not interact with them, or try to fight� Do not respond to any of their provocation. Don't waste your words, or feelings, no matter what you hear or see you are more fortunate and blessed than they are, and in your heart just pray for them." more (Perhaps next time Gaga should also cite Matthew 7:15-20?)
