Re: 'Girl' on Top
Sent to Entertainment Weekly tonight, after reading their ass-kissing article:
Katy Perry's first two singles are incredibly offensive. One song relies upon tired gay stereotypes, and "I Kissed A Girl" makes the statement that it's alright for straight girls to use gay ones to get attention and that kissing another female is "not what good girls do." As a queer Christian, I disagree. Perry says her "gay friends" like the songs. I am not one of them.
I might've sent them a "Thank you for picking 'Journey's End' as the Must-Watch of the Week" note, but the fact that they wrote an article about Perry without bothering to mention those of the gay community who are offended by her kind of negated that.
Grr. Time to go watch MST3K and write.
