Korean Christians aim to stop Lady Gaga's ‘pornographic’ show

lady gaga.jpg Christian groups in South Korea called on Friday for pop icon Lady Gaga to cancel her concert saying it was "pornographic" and promoted homosexuality.

 

South Korea's government has already bowed to public pressure and banned under-18s from attending the 26-year-old's concert, but protesters gathered outside the venue said that was not enough.

 

The singer's hit song "Born This Way" celebrates the empowerment of gay men and women, something that many in South Korea, which is the second most Christian country in Asia after the Philippines, say is an immoral lifestyle.
