According to the Huffington Post, the wacky songstress will be honoured with the Trevor Hero Award on December 4 by the Trevor Project which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people under 24.
During her three years in the international spotlight, the hitmaker has been part of high profile campaigns such as speaking out against the US Military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, and bringing awareness about the bullying of gay teens.
Recently, she launched the Born This Way Foundation with her mother which aims to promote “youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development…to create positive change” according to MTV News.
David McFarland from the Trevor Project said in a statement: "Our young people are at the center of a health crisis, and vocal leaders like Lady Gaga and technology leaders like Google Inc. have stepped up to help change our culture.
"Our honorees are working with the Trevor Project to make a better today and a brighter tomorrow for youth,” he continued.
“We are proud to honor Lady Gaga with the Trevor Hero Award and Google Inc. with the Trevor 2020 award for their work to help young people express their true selves with pride."
