With a huge LGTB following of her own, Lady Gaga is standing up for the community by opposing the Russian government's anti-gay actions.

The "Born This Way" singer took to Twitter on Monday, tweeting, "Sending bravery to LGBTs in Russia. The rise in government abuse is archaic. Hosing teenagers with pepper spray? Beatings? Mother Russia?"

Later, the 27-year-old pop star added, "The Russian government is criminal. Oppression will be met with revolution. Russian LGBTs you are not alone. We will fight for your freedom."

Posing a bit of a dare, Gaga concluded, "Why didn't you arrest me when you had the chance, Russia? Because you didn't want answer to the world?"
