Both are equally terrible role models for girls but who says they must be role models? That's not what they are supposed to be about.

Oh I totally agree since Madonna also can be problematic
But should I not care about Lady Gaga's ****ery since I'm not a girl?
I don't see either as role models quite but Lady Gaga is usually the one purporting herself to care so much about the gay community:

Sorry, equality is a great idea but she's asking for assimilation, that is not equality. I am not going to change my identity for other people, to make them feel comfortable about my queerness. That's not my problem and my queerness hurts no one.
But we as human beings are free to choose our own role models, but I think that if you are just treating them as untouchable saints rather than human beings who are incapable of problematic words, actions, and behaviours then you are probably morally bankrupt or just pathetic, cowardly, and desperate for your own identity that you attach yourself to people you KNOW to be wrong.
