In her 2019 essay, Asa Seresin discusses a 'straight pride parade' in Boston, highlighting the ironic responses from queer attendees who mocked the event. Lady Gaga's new song 'Garden of Eden' serves as a vibrant counterpoint, celebrating heterosexuality in a fun and unexpected way. The track features lively electroclash influences and provocative lyrics, blending themes of desire, blasphemy, and hedonism. With her signature style, Gaga creates a playful space where even traditional narratives can be reimagined, proving that joy and excitement can exist in all forms of love and identity.
"Compared to the heady possibilities of the queer world to come, heterosexuality appears unbearably drab and predictable."
"I could be your girlfriend for the weekend/You could be my boyfriend for the night," she sings on "Garden of Eden..."
"Gaga invokes MDMA, nine-inch stilettos, and some good old-fashioned blasphemy, envisioning the site of original sin as a warehouse rave with God in the DJ booth."
"Even Adam and Eve deserve their shot at leaving it all on the floor."
