GaGa’s fans from LGBTQ communities petitioned her online, asking the pop singer to call off her upcoming concert in Arizona. The “Alejandro” star is scheduled to perform at US Airways Center in Phoenix on July 31, but the petitioners have asked her to boycott the state due to a controversial immigration law.
Thus read the petition, "Please be a lady FOR our community," it was read. "The state of Arizona is EXTRA right now. A wave of laws like sb 1070 is making it a crime to be brown and putting whole communities at risk.
Both migrant and LGBTQ communities know what it is to have to fight for our full human dignity to be affirmed. You have the opportunity to play a special role in that fight in Arizona."
"Communities have called for a boycott of the state to make it happen. As an icon and beloved artist, please join us in boycotting Arizona and turn your trip into an opportunity to meet your little monsters in the Migrant LGBTQ community that you can speak out against the hateful laws and be a champion for this human rights cause."
According to the provisions of this law, the local authorities will determine a person’s immigration status if he or she is suspected of being undocumented. There have been earlier protests over this law, some staged by the likes of Hall & Oates, Rage Against the Machine and so on.

As long as you are white you will not have to worry. Even with an accent I don’t think the whites will worry, but if you are brown and where a sombrero watch out!
