Katy perry is awesome, i dont understand you gay community, why are you always like defensive at all, i dont think she wanted to hurt your fellings, i dont even think she really was aware of what was writing and all of the scandale it would be, i mean, just get over it, i dont think is that bad..
You could be focusing in another gay stuff, but not this, it’s ridiculous xD

by the way, i’m a proud lesbian from argentina and i love katy’s music.
bye!

Oh and I agree that girls who make out with other girls for male attention is stupid as hell, but who knows. Maybe she’s really bisexual. You can’t say she’s fake just because she hasn’t done it yet. Not EVERYONE sleeps around at an early age and some people don’ actually experiment or act on their desires for YEARS.

Katy Perry never actually kissed a girl and yet she says that all her songs are like a dear diary. Sounds like she just says anything to suit her argument. I reckon they’re promoting her with all this homosexuality to distract from the fact that she has a heavily religious background. If she came across as old fashioned and bible-thumping she wouldn’t be very popular. Her christianity is evident in i kissed a girl when she sings “it’s not what good girls do”. yeah, good christian girls whose parents tell them gays go to hell. lesbians can be good girls, lesbians can also be bad, it depends on the individual. christians can be good too and also very bad. i just don’t see the need for a songs like i kissed a girl. it just makes me think of those dumb high school girls that are like “oh my god, i just kissed a chick, come on lets do it again, no wait, are the boys watching?” i didn’t think people cared about girls kissing anymore. “i kissed a girl” “yeah and..?” i’m a gay guy and i’ve kissed a girl, that to me is more shocking than katy perry kissing a girl. losers are girls who kiss other girls for guys attention = katy perry is a loser. She should go down on a chick, maybe then i’d have some respect.

isn’t this site supposed to be about a “new” gay? Caring about what some pop artist says or creates is not something a “new” gay should do. This site, and the users, are so afraid to lose their identity but keep on perpetrating stereotypical homosexual stereotypes. Stick to your word and chill out.

Yes, it’s not that Katy’s homophobic, it’s that her lyrics seem to paint her as someone whose very kind of obsessed with gender stereotypes, with boxes. In One of the Boys, she says that she doesn’t want to be one of the boys: She wants to be a pretty girl. And in the song Hook Up, which she gave to Kelly Clarkson, she had the line: “I can’t cook / No, but I can clean.” Come on.

She has some issues (not deep-rooted or anything) that she needs to figure out. Her lyrics trouble me.

And as a lesbian, I Kissed a Girl hurts my feelings very much.

Yeah I still think she is an idiot. See now I don’t actually think she is homophobic; she is actually metrophobic. She obviously has alot of preconceieved notions about what a MAN should be like (jacking off to lesbians, acting like slobs).

Enter metrosexuality and her enourmous ego starts to flare into her songs. See because all of this “girl power” stuff obviously only applies to women. Men are expected to remain docile and brainless while women toy with them. Gay men are mere companions in her narcisistic charade: they could be anything and she wouldn’t care.

This is like the complete opposite of feminism because it really isn’t encouraging change, just for women to be more extravagent in making themselves sex toys of men and for men to be more misogynistic and uncaring towards women. She is just screwing life up for all of the heteros.

Katy is obviously, in ‘I Kissed A Girl’ relating to viewpoints. If she was homophobic, she would be saying something somewhat similar to “I Kissed A Girl and I hated it”, How could people do this” and so on. She obviously is not but I am sure that Katy would expect controversy!

And yes I defntly agree with Amy as well.

WOW you people need to calm the fuck down and be able to laugh at yourselves!! I am a lesbian and LOVE i kissed a girl and i love that someone is finally representing lesbianism/bisexuality on the radio. She doesn’t mean any harm by “ur so gay” and personally i think the song is hilarious and that all of you haters need to learn how to have some fun and APPRECIATE what katy perry is doing for the gay community. Oh and just so you know…a good percentage of her fan base is gay. i went to her concert a few weeks ago and there were just as many gay and lesbian couples as there were straight ones…so obviously they like what they hear.

I find it slightly ironic that Zach is baiting Katy Perry for not being gay and not having kissed girls.

The word bisexuality doesn’t even enter the conversation, let’s hear it for the binary homo/hetero system! (This is sarcasm).

Many lesbian women have kissed boys and many straight girls have kissed girls and very few women conform to what other people think ‘homosexual’ should mean. There is a whole spectrum of sexual flavours out there, let’s not forget that everyone’s different, and not everyone’s on a bandwagon…

You are all too sensitive…they are just songs…they are both catchy…and your haterz…why cant people just have fun with it and not over think what the song is about or what its portraying….because i promise you that none of the people that listen to this song are thinking… omg those are gay stereotypes…there are many other things in the world to worry about… she said her closest friends are gay…just leave it alone… people can be taught to be close minded…she is one that has overcome that and become much more open minded, so just listen to the music, enjoy, and shut up…b/c there are many insulting songs about bitches and hoes but NOBODY complains about it…those songs are degrading, but when something is actually talking about you, you decide to care…there is no reason to hate her because of this. she can sing, and write so stop hating! and the little lingo of this website is a little stereotypical also “for everyone over the rainbow”…seriously??? just stop being sensitive

love this comment tow
This was an excellent interview that raised some important points. We have to remember that people learn a lot about things and other people through popular culture, such as these songs. We also have to remember that some of the childish criticisms of the interview (or of those who dislike the songs, the stereotyping, and the pandering to some straight guys' love of women kissing one another) comes literally from children -- or at least immature people with childish minds who are unable to look at any issue with depth or clarity.

I also have to say that those who think that 75% of gay men fit the stereotype expressed in the first song have apparently never heard of the ENORMOUS macho gay bear community!

Anon. she has been saying from the beginning of the press she’s done for “I Kissed A Girl” that it was about seeing Scarlett Johansson (nice spellcheck there btw Zack)in a magazine. The rest of her album does sound a bit like a diary entry (except I do doubt that she got hitched in Vegas)
What I’m trying to say is that she wrote a song about a fantasy and there is nothing wrong with that. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have a problem with Ur So Gay, but don’t trivialise your arguments against it by effectively going “AND, she never even kissed a girl either, total liar.” Because the amount of songs written about fantasy situations probably far outweigh those written about true events. I am not defending Ur So Gay. I do think it’s a stupid song, but I am saying that maybe we should all calm down a little bit. The girl wrote a stupid song about her ex and she was bitching about his metro qualities. I don’t think she is a bigoted homophobe, so much as a misinformed and naive young woman who just needs someone to set her straight on the difference between gay and metro.

Okay, coming from a 15 year old boy, Katy Perry is simply awesome. People need to stop hating over a friggin song seriously. Nobody cares anymore because Ur So Gay shouldn’t be taken so personally. She doesn’t need all of your sh*t dude, I was watching Comedy Central the other day and they say gay AND Nig*er so seriously anybody who cares just shut the f*ck up and stop hating. Katy Perry is more beautiful and a better singer than any of you could be, just give it a rest.

When Moses said kill all those who lie with the same kind no one knew that two centuries later we would still be discriminatory against other humans. It’s the sentiments that count not the thought. And the sentiment in Perry’s message is clear she doesn’t like certain people. Oh well…if people can sit down in front of a TV screen and enjoy Paris Hilton lash out on poor people it speaks loudly about the people who listen to Perry’s music as well.

Objectivity requires that we put away subjective thoughts. Let’s be objective here. Michael Richards, a supposed comedian, was doing a “comedy” skit where he made racist remarks he wasn’t changing the world he was in fact making racist remarks, subjectivity aside. When Mel Gibson went on a drunken stupor to criticize about 20% of the world’s population he wasn’t being revolutionary he was ejaculating his bigotry, subjectivity aside. There will always be people to stand up and defend such people.

Now now Ellis, let’s not go as far as to compare The Beatles to a bigoted, homophobic girl. There’s a difference between allegorical and factual statements clearly when The Beatles sing it’s allegorical. Are you to tell me that Katy Perry meant the same thing?

I think you fail to see the bias and prejudice in her song. Perry, grossly conveys a message that promotes a sense of dislike for a particular group of people, and that to me is discrimination and bigotry. Don’t forget, she flat out lies to us that it’s a “personal diary”.
