(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lady Gaga will attend a gay rights rally in America today.

The singer has often spoken out in support of homosexual people and has repeatedly urged her fans to get involved in the campaign against the US Armed Forces Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy - which prohibits service members from revealing if they are gay.

She has used her Twitter page to champion gay rights and will travel to Portland, Maine, later today to raise awareness at the event organised by the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN).

"Meet me in Portland, Maine 2moro, 9/20 to help repeal #DADT. I'm holding a Rally + speaking live in Deering Oaks Park," Gaga wrote on her Twitter page yesterday.

The music star has been championing a repeal of the policy for several weeks. Last Friday, Gaga voiced her views in a video which was released on the internet.

"The SLDN's advocacy proves that these soldiers are being searched; superiors are going through their e-mails and private belongings, calling family members and operating based on assumptions. Ultimately, the law is being enforced using gay profiling. ...In short, not only is the law unconstitutional, but it's not even being properly enforced by the government," Gaga said. "I am here to be a voice for my generation, not the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country, the generation that is affected by this law and whose children will be affected.

"We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral implications of homosexuality; we're asking you to do your job, to protect the constitution." (C) Cover Media
