Is money the issue here? He said he'd donate all proceeds from the song to the Human Rights Campaign. It seems more Lady Gaga was offended by the parody, and being on YouTube means she'll still be offended by it (probably more so as this controversy gains traction, this will probably be Al's most listened to single in some time)

It's pretty much Coolio and "Amish Paradise" all over again. Al is a nice guy, asks if the artist minds even though he doesn't have to, and the artist then chooses whether to be a ponce or not.
