I think Gaga was probably always a feminist, because I really don't see her not believing in equal rights for women. I get the feeling that she fell into the 'feminist means those people burning bras' idea (that made a point for it's time, but out of context looks even crazier) that has been constructed by the straw feminist in fiction (and some crazies in real life). And then she probably got tens of thousands of letters/emails/whatever slamming her for it, which caused a 'oops!' moment.

As for the bi, I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Of course, I also see Gaga as a brilliant business person rather than a artist (if you sit down to create with the very first thought being 'what will be a hit/sell?' I get hives calling you a artist), so I don't really feel betrayed/whatever by her in any other situation. I respect her for her business sense and catchy-as-hell tunes. She is great to her fans. To claim she is a liar about personal things is going over the top, I think.

Ahem, bra burning (http://www.snopes.com/history/american/burnbra.asp) didn't actually happen. Closest thing to it was chucking bras into trash bins.

Also, people can be against sexism and be really really dedicated to gender equality, understand what feminism is and isn't, and STILL not identify as feminist. The feminist movement doesn't really have a history of being inclusive to women who get discriminated against for other things too, and that makes some people want to, while still being very much against sexism and still doing stuff about it, not use that particular label.

No idea if Gaga was doing that or not, but it's a thing and something I thought I should bring up.
