Katy Perry: Calling Out Gay-But-Not-Gay Boys Everywhere

By Elizabeth

Maybe it was Hot Topic’s fault. Or better yet, maybe it was TV’s fault. Either way, something turned a huge part of our heterosexual male population GAY over the last five years or so…and they all turned gay without even being homosexual. It’s a tragedy, really, and these way too femme boys who supposedly still like girls have even made my own love life tragically hellish.

Katy Perry’s hit single “Ur So Gay” couldn’t have come at a better time. Well, wait… I’d actually say it’s a bit overdue. I could have really used it to get myself through my last break up with a boy who told me that he had shaved his arms so that they’d ‘feel nice’ for me…

ANYWAY, It didn’t take me long to become a fan of this girl. Does Madonna love her? Sure she does. Does Myspace love her? Duh. But that’s not why I like her. I like her because she’s openly quirky. She’s intelligent AND fun and YES, that combination certainly does exist in female society and I’m proud to finally be able to add yet another awesome artist to the soundtrack of my life.

Katy isn’t just all fun and intellectual games, though. She is a real musician equipped with a guitar. She’s not a novelty act. Yes, her hit single is hilarious and awesome, but just go check her out live and you’ll see the difference. She’s mesmerizing. A bona fide performer, comedian, and gifted songstress. If you missed her on the tour she’s on now…don’t worry. She’ll be giving us all a reason to actually buy a ticket to the Vans Warped Tour this summer.

Ironically, the girl who is calling out all gay but not gay boys will be on a tour with lots of gay but not gay boys. I really hope they all come out of Warped tour with some sense knocked into them…
