Katy Perry’s “UR So Gay” Makes Her Not an LGBT+ Icon
Katy Perry’s sexuality has been sort of ambiguous, since her smash “I Kissed a Girl”, people pondering if was a song about one time experimentation, or if it was in truth a long about her sexuality, and enjoying it, but Katy finally made a few statements about her sexuality, to quell fans curiosity.
After saying that her strict upbringing by her pastor parents, and deep experiences with youth groups that were pro-conversion therapy kept her from being comfortable and caused her to “pray the gay away“, Perry was exposed to members of the LGBTQ+ community, and realized everything she’d been feeling was natural, and that she could admit herself for who she was.
Meeting actual people that were part of the LGBT+ community helped changed her perception about what she’d been taught, and she said in her speech that, “They were nothing like I had been taught to dread. They were the most free, strong, kind and inclusive people I hold ever met. They stimulated my mind, and they filled my heart with joy, and they danced with joy while doing it.”

“I kissed a teen and I liked it”: The Underlying Homophobia of Katy Perry’s Song
Katy Perry’s popular song, “I Kissed a Girl,” came out (ha) in 2008. It was a favorite of mine and my comrade in eighth grade. We belted it as raucously as we could because it was catchy and fun to sing. But more than that, it represented our identity in a way other songs on the radio, songs by men about women, and songs by women about men, didn’t.
But it was not without fault. Even then, we were aware of the homophobic undertones. We changed a few of the more problematic lyrics, and the ones we couldn’t figure out how to convert, we sang in exaggerated voices to make it clear that we weren’t serious.
“I Kissed a Girl” is problematic in how it represents wlw (woman-loving-woman) identity. An article on Feministing said it best: “Perry’s lyrics reflect the trivialization of queer female sexuality and the cultural norms which state that female sexuality exists for the pleasure of men.” The lyrics trivialize female sexuality by implying that the speaker doesn’t actually like women, and that she’s just kissing girls for fun. The finding is that the ballad invalidates queer women.

I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about L.A.
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don’t eat meat and control electrical cars
You’re so indie rock it’s almost an art
You need SPF 45, just to stay alive
You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even enjoy boys
(Oh)
You’re so gay and you don’t even love boys
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like…
You’re so sad maybe you should buy a Happy Meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean produce I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t accept I, fell in adore with someone that wears more makeup
and..
You’re so male lover and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like boys
You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like,
No you don’t even like…
Hey
Oh, whoa-oh oh!

Grade: D+
In Brief: It’s an appealing piece of unintentional social commentary, particularly as far as gender issues are concerned. But as harmony, well, let’s just utter it “likes penis”.
Katy Perry is honestly a bit of an easy aim. If you’ve heard her infamous radio hits about people who should be gay and people who aren’t but pretend they are just for kicks, then you know what I’m talking about. There are plenty of evident reasons why folks ranging from the religious right to gay activists might criticize her for her lyrics, and doing so would be a lot like shooting fish in a barrel. Too effortless. Normally I try not to go for the obvious bait in choosing albums to review, because I don’t think it takes a genius to point out that Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne or whoever put out a detestable album. (Obviously not everyone agrees with these assessments; nevertheless, such artists are frequent recipients of the proverbial lash in the pants.) So I’d honestly leave Katy Perry alone, if not for the fact that I knew her in a former life.
