And to think that she's now considered as a gay icon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The same thing I thought in 2008... ****ing awesome song. I cannot believe people are still talking about this song in 2016. Longevity. The song's message still holds true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I remember when this came out and i was like OMG she's recognizing gay people, yasss. At the time it seemed like a positive thing. Â But looking back, im like, this song is a mess. A whole song dedicated to using the word gay in a derogatory way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm part of the group that only uses "gay" to describe sexuality so I'm not a fan of its use here, which is to call something feminine "gay"  That being said, I like the song itself  People grow and change over time so I wouldn't hold it against her now or anything  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaXCupcakke 3,818 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I mean I kissed a girl was kind of anti gay. It was made to be a sexual fantasy for straight men instead of embracing lesbianism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 7,515 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 She's offending gays, hipsters, vegetarians, skinny people, people who like art  Queen of derogatory anthems  Seriously though I wouldn't get worked up about it, I put it down to just the ignorance of her being younger. It's still common for people to use gay as a derogatory term, and it was even more common back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,702 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Oh GGD remembers This thread surfaces every year, once at least I'm not against the gay thing per se, but when you read the rest of the atrocious lyrics, the whole song just ends up being embarrassing, so I'm definitely not a fan. Though I kind of miss the Katy that would be this forward and "shocking". I mean people are still talking about this, and I Kissed a Girl was a huge splash as well, as uninspired and dreadful as it was. Kinda miss that, if she can combine it with good lyrics and melodies I'd be a lot more interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think she meant any harm and I can't believe I will say this but even gay culture was not this mainstream as it is now. What about a decade can do for progress...

Hewkah 48 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I used to find this insulting back in the day. I always got the feeling she was looking down on male homosexuality, yet empowering female homosexuality with "I Kissed A Girl", it might seem over the top but that's the vibe I got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
