Your username matters because it shows me you're a stan an are obviously going to defend her with weak, baseless, poorly grammaticized arguments. If you want me to argue, then let's do this.

Her career is based on using people or hot button topics to keep herself relevant. Her association with the gay community has not harmed her career, a slew of poor marketing choices, poor sales, and a gradual waning in public interest due to boredom with her antics harmed her career. She keeps herself afloat by hopping from issue to issue, celebrity to celebrity, and by taking literally any gig she can get, like her self-promoting "sponsored by Gaga/Intel" Bowie tribute which she secured literally days after his death.

She jumped on the gay bandwagon when it was easy, when it was already a hot topic in the media about gay rights and there was a softening stance. It was a topic that would naturally have people support her vocally about it at that time - unlike when Madonna did it in the late 80s early 90s when it was not a hot topic, but instead a huge stigma, and being supportive of gay people could have destroyed her career since pretty much almost everyone was super prejudiced back then. So don't try it with the "she would still have a career right now if she didn't pander to the gay community or release Born This Way".

Then Gaga jumped on another hot topic about bullying, which was easy for her to jump on the side of anti-bullying so she gets to play the victim. The bullying topic would naturally have people support her. She built a supposed "Anti-Bullying" campaign and foundation that is nothing more than a for-her-own-profit charity scheme, while preying on impressionable youth and turned her fanbase into a cult of bullies and abusers. She said at the launch of her BTW Foundation that people have a responsibility to stop bullying if they see it happen, but has defended her nasty fans when they bully other people, saying she is not responsible for them and cannot control them.

Now she's on the rape campaign, another hot topic in the media now that guarantees she would get supporters and new fans, plus she revealed her sexual assault story, coincidentally when the allegations were mounting against Bill Cosby. She has turned thousands of womens' harrowing experiences into another marketing ploy to keep herself in the public eye, releasing a 30 track dance remix album of her rape song to get to the top of the charts again. She regularly works with known rapist photographer Terry Richardson, collaborated with him and R. Kelly on a music video that was described as a literal ad for rape, and has made about roofieing. She's even gone as far to DEFEND R. Kelly, saying that he is "plagued by other people's perceptions of what he is".

Who knows whatever she’ll latch onto next as her new platform to sell and promote herself. She is a transparent opportunistic panderer. She built an entire career and fanbase on the televangelist model of the prosperity-gospel by painting herself as some sort of gay savior and turning herself into a "mother" figure to be blindly worshiped and never questioned by pandering to impressionable youth.

So ruminate on that.
