Lady Gaga has taken up the cause of Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14-year-old boy who committed suicide on Sunday after years of bullying based on his sexuality.

Rodemeyers death is especially tragic given that he posted an It Gets Better YouTube video last May (watch below) as part of that initiatives message of optimism and hope following a spate of gay teen suicides.

This evening, an emotional Gaga, whose Born This Way has become an anthem for inclusiveness, spoke to her millions of Twitter followers.

The past days Ive spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones life, wrote Gaga moments ago, referring to Rodemeyer.

Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime, she declared.

I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey

Within minutes, the phrase was indeed trending helped by the fact that Gaga has even more Twitter followers than President Obama.

Gossip Cop has reached out to Lady Gagas camp for comment on whether the superstar has made new, specific plans to address the bullying issue.

Gaga was a major proponent of repealing the U.S. militarys Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy toward homosexual servicemen and women. That law was officially erased this week.
