With such problematic songs such as "Ur So Gay" that feature highly offensive lyrics promoting gay stereotypes and the obvious appropriation of lesbians in "I Kissed A Girl" why is Katy celebrated and acclaimed as a gay icon?

She hasn't done anything for the LGBT community apart from promote stereotypes gays have to suffer through?

Definitely a homophobe

Gay Icon. I mean I guess at least she's not a Nazi, but you know keep trying

You stan for a person who used Nazi imagery to sell her flopping single and you're trying to drag anyone? Girl.....

She openly called out the Australian prime minister on radio for not supporting gay marriage and said that he wouldn't be getting her vote (if she could vote in it).

Firework can be deemed a gay anthem.

Her music in general is very gay friendly, and she knows that. She also knows she has lots of gay fans.

She is far from homophobic. Keep trying.

Both! A modern day Anita Bryant.

"appropriation of lesbians"?

Gay Icon, if you knew anything about Katy you would know she is a very strong advocate for LGBT rights around the world.

Neither?

Gay ICON.

I for one, used to be ignorant when it came to racism, sexism and systematic injustice but I've grown and I'm much more educated than I used to be. Who's to say Katy hasn't done the same?

Put a Poll if you want to see some results. Anyway... She loves the Gays.

fff

Firework tho

I'm not gay so I don't really get a say on this one. Although, as someone previously said above me: who is to say she hasn't improved as a person though 2 of her songs were a tad offensive?

Neither. A gay icon would never write a song like "Ur So Gay". But at the same time I feel like she's not necessarily a homophobic person.

Girl sit.



And no, Katy is not a homophobe. Ur So Gay is an AMAZING song and was just meant to be humorous. Only an insecure individual would have been offended by it.
