Lady Gaga has debuted a short video --- aimed at her fan base, as it is somewhat ad hoc --- urging support for same-sex marriage on the ballot in four states, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington. The video was released by The Four.com, which has been been trying to win support and to get out the vote via social media.

Brian Ellner, a co-founder of TheFour.com, said, "No one speaks more to young people than Lady Gaga. And they support equality more than any other group. If we are going to win and make marriage equality history on Tuesday in all four states, we need young people to get out and vote in record numbers. Gaga is the perfect messenger for equality."
