Lady Gaga Celebrates Gay Friends in Video

Lady Gaga has dedicated her new music video to her gay friends and fans, celebrating their "courage and bravery".

The pop sensation reveals the promo for her track Alejandro, off 2009's The Fame Monster album, explores the purity of her relationships with her gay pals.

And Gaga admits she "envies" gay love - because she's never been able to match it in her relationships with straight men.

She explains, "It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love - it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. I've been unable to find that with a straight man in my life.

"In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends - but they just don't want me."
