Photograph: Todd SelbyDue to be Number One this Sunday, Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl is a sparky electronic stompy ltle number om of the reason 's headg to the chart pnacle is that 's que good, and part of the reason is that agre wh the Zoo, Nuts and Babtatn belief that women, whether straight or gay, all actually like lezzg off wh each other. But Katy has also attracted a fair amount of bate thanks to I Kissed a Girl and another song, UR So Gay, which attacks a straight man and explas that his problem is that he has too much mon wh gay men (for this to work you have to share Perry's world view that gay men are all exactly the same). The song begs "I hope you hang yourself wh your H&M srf, while jackg off listeng to Mozart, you bch and moan about LA, wishg you were the ra readg Hemgway", and ntu this Tatchell's wad , of urse, and there's an argument, echog the Fairytale Of New York bate last Christmas, that whether one is "sgg character" or not, is perhaps not entirely healthy to send a msage around the world that is alright to e gay termology as an sult.

When I first wrote about Perry back April I wonred whether Ur So Gay, the US buzz sgle, would be played on UK rad after the Chris Moyl homophobia row, but tth the bate around UR So Gay and I Kissed a Girl, which offer trigug perspectiv on masculy and femy rpectively, should be ls about sexualy and more focsed on genr polics. Maybe the problem is jt that her lowt mon nomator reference pots are a b stupid - part of a Perez Hiltonisatn of popular culture which dictat that scribblg "bch" or "fag" across someone's face, or dbg some ltle spots of sperm on the rner of a man's mouth, is fair ment and the height of cultural, summary:REASONS KATY PERRY IS NOT A BIG OLD RUBBISH HOMOPHOBE1. In a former (and largely succs-ee) reer she ed to be a Christian sger songwrer, and Christians are all about tolerance 'n' lovg The Gays.
Her photo shoots look like an explosn a branch of Cath Kidston, and there are sometim homosexual men London's Kgs Road branch of that shop. She's iends wh Mika - not that Mika is gay, but he is the sort of person scribed UR So Gay so she n't really hate all men who aren't archetypal, rears, there you have . Do I Kissed A Girl have you screamg at your rad bee is anti-gay?
