Katy Perry Is So Controversial

Katy Perry's fabulosity is seeping into uncharted territories. She is one of the most influential gays and lesbians in America... and she's not even gay! She's a straight chick who landed the cover of Out Magazine's Out 100.

This is amazing because:
(1.) she's a chick, and even though Out denies it, the magazine is basically about gay men by gay men, rather than the entire GLBT community.
(2.) She's straight. Self-explanatory.
(3.) She is hated by a lot of people. I adore her, but I know many, many of you find her annoying and/or inflammatory.

Miss Perry has received some major flack for her unique perspective on gaydom. When she came out with her first big single Ur So Gay, the gays got up in arms and thought she was a homophobe. Mostly because she comes from a religious background. So queers assumed she was gay-bashing. In the Out interview, Katy confesses how she wanted to be the "next Amy Grant." Which I totally understand since I fancy myself the "next Tammy Faye Baker."

Then when I Kissed a Girl hit the radio, conservative Christian groups bashed her for not being homophobic enough! How dare she sing about the salacious details of cherry chapstick! Why, I never! *clutching handbag to chest*

Meanwhile Katy has been cashing her fat checks and dancing in the clubs with her main gays. Totally oblivious to what other people have to say about her.

That's why I love you, Katz. You are you, and everyone else can suck it.
