“To my surprise, after explag the song to more than a handful of people, every one of them rpond wh basilly the same thg (paraphrased): ‘You are jt promotg the gay agenda on your statn and I am changg the channel and never listeng to you ever aga!!
So when untry mic pulls homophobic stunts, like removg vaguely lbian-ish songs om the rad, I'm even ls cled to ever venture towards the genre. )The song qutn, "Girl Csh" by the Grammy-wng band Ltle Big Town, barely even gets to real or hardre gay ntent. Those are fun urse, plenty of untry mic fans didn't agree, floodg rad statns wh lls and e-mails plag about the "gay agenda" after the ltle tune played jt once.
WHY UNTRY STATNS ARE PULLG THE SONG GIRL CSH' (HT: THE GAY AGENDA)
It brgs up a lot of qutns about same-sex love, homophobia, heteronormativy, and jt what a girl csh is. Functnally though, ’s often the “no homo” of straight women. It’s jt that a culture still teemg wh homophobia, many feel the need to nstantly clarify how totally straight they are wh phras like “girl csh”.
“I’m not gay; I jt really like the cloth Victoria’s Secret talogu. As is, rad statns have been gettg plats about playg a “lbian” song and phg the gay agenda.
Maybe “Girl Csh” will ch some people forward beg ls homophobic. “To my surprise, after explag the song to more than a handful of people, every one of them rpond wh basilly the same thg: ‘You are jt promotg the gay agenda on your statn and I am changg the channel and never listeng to you ever aga!, '” TexMex wrote, gog on to expla that the plats ma his/her boss move the song back om medium to light rotatn.
