Katy Perry has -- more than once -- admitted to having kissed another girl. From The Advocate (June 23 2008): "I have a lot of friends who are gay, and I have kissed a girl. I grew up in a very strict household where that was considered what you call “an abomination” -- and I fucking hate that word." In a couple interviews she answered, "No" but that was followed by "I'm saving myself for Miley Cyrus" so I think she was joking around. Not that her having kissed a girl actually makes her any less straight.<BR/><BR/>I completely agree that "I Kissed a Girl" is exploitative of lesbian identity and has a LOT of things wrong with it, as does UR So Gay. But ironically I think Katy Perry honestly wants to be an ally and was honestly unaware of how the two songs would be perceived by lesbians and gays. Reading/viewing her blog (Kitty Purrys blog) changed some of my perceptions of her. I think that she failed to understand that there is a difference between being campy and fun and tongue-and-cheek(which is what her whole persona is) and crossing a line into offensive (with UR So Gay). So I don't think she necessarily deserves all the criticism that has been thrown at her.<BR/><BR/>That said, I am infuriated with OUT magazine and the complete absurdity of using a straight woman to "represent" us. Even if they had chosen the most awesome, outspoken of allies, it still would be offensive in my opinion. What were they thinking? Obviously their priorities are focused on sales... It's not like there's a shortage of awesome lesbians.
