Lady Gaga is getting deeper into politics at a rally in Maine today against the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Lady Gaga is attending a rally organized by the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. The rally takes place in Deer Oaks Park which is close to the University of Southern Maine's Portland campus. Democrats need 60 votes on Tuesday in order to develop a bill. Republican senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins have been under a lot of pressure to cast their two votes, for their votes could be deciding votes.

The rally being staged today is a protest made up of supporters such as Gaga and soldiers who were discharged from the military for not going along with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The protest is a plea to get the senators to vote to repeal the act. Collins has already voted in the past to repeal the bill however, Collins said through a spokeswomen she is unsure of how she will vote.
