Yep, that's right, the girl who sings the current #1 Billboard Hot 100 song (the most coveted prize on all the music charts) about "I kissed a girl and I liked it" with all it's goofy trendy bisexual lyrics, actually used to a Christian recording artist. In 2001 she released a Christian album on a Christian label. By 2004 she had went secular and now has a new anthem for people who think it's really cool to pretend to be gay. Says the new and improved Katy:
"I kissed a girl and I liked it/The taste of her cherry chapstick/I kissed a girl just to try it/I hope my boyfriend don't mind it/It felt so wrong, it felt so right."
This aggravates me for a number of reason. For one thing, I've long been tired of high school and college aged girls (and the guys who egg them on) who think they are being awesome and cool by exploring bisexuality when its all just a lame attention ploy. No, sorry, it's tacky and silly, and guys share a lot of blame for creating this double standard that makes lesbianism awesome while cracking jokes or bemoaning the wrongness of male homosexuality. Sin is sin, and this cultural glorification of female bisexuality is plain silly and tacky, especially considering that there are actual real people who struggle with this sort of thing and their struggle is cheapened by posers like this.
But the even more offensive part of this story is that its the example of another person who either (1) Lied about their faith from the beginning just to make money and/or (2) Turned away from their Christian faith in exchange for money, fame, and popularity with a huge load of trashiness thrown in the mix (some places online say that she never claimed to a Christian in the first place, and only wanted to do whatever to be famous. Whatever, only God knows the heart, but either way, it doesn't show much character).
Rather than being a positive role model to young people, Katy has chosen another path, one that only brings temporary glory in exchange for eternal riches. Pray for this girl, and check out what she used to sing about before she got rich selling out:
I've always said it--if you really want to be a rebel and go against the grain in this culture, then take a stand for Christ instead of wimping out to the crowd. Yet I'm going to bet that some reading this will probably be more offended by my "intolerance" and being "judgemental" than the very real selling out by Katy Hudson (aka Perry) to chase fame and stardom.

WOW...thats a will do...if you stand for christ and dont sell him out there will be great rewords in hevan for you!!...I agree Bill I am a rebel for christ!
Tells you something about the Christian music industry, too...that someone could use it as a ticket to quick fame without being clear on her personal convictions?
Wow.
Not all Christians believe homosexuality is wrong. Not that I am belittling your particular faith, but to assume that everyone under the faith "Christianity" believes exactly as you is not only deluded but self-serving for your own ego.
Point being... she can still be a Christian and belive what she feels is her own personal relationship with Jesus, it's not your place to judge, it's God's.
