ABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports:  Pop music sensation Lady Gaga delivered what was arguably the most political public address of her career Monday, telling a crowd of hundreds of fans in Portland, Maine, that the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy sanctions inequality akin to denying some Americans “the greatest cut of meat my country has to offer.”

Dressed in a black blazer, polka dot tie and wide-rimmed glasses and appearing on stage against the backdrop of a billowing American flag, Gaga delivered an impassioned appeal to end the ban on openly gay and lesbian military service members.

“I’m here because don’t ask don’t tell is wrong, it’s unjust and fundamentally it is against all that we stand for as Americans,” she said on the eve of a key Senate vote on a bill that includes a repeal of the law.
