Has anybody heard the song “Ur so Gay" by Katy Perry. It was one of her first singles. Do you think the lyrics in this song are homophobic and offensive to the LGBT community?
Yeah same. Some people get really mad about it but I just don't get it. I think that it enforces some stereotypes, which isn't really cool, but Katy obviously supports the LGBT community and isn't homophobic in the least, so I forgive her. Oh, and it's really catchy
Ur so gay and you don't even like boys. No you don't even like, No you don't even like, No you don't even like boys. I don't think she's referring to actual LGBT people anyway. I think she means like a guy who has gay characteristics. Well maybe a little, but not in a bad way.
She is using stereotypes of gay people in her song kind of as an insult to the guy, but it's a break-up song so it's supposed to be angry and insensitive. I think the intent is always important, and the intent here is nothing harmful as far as I can see.
The intent here is saying anything 'gay' gets views, due to controversy...I honestly don't trust most those 'yay for gay rights' girls/celebrities, cause most of them are doing it for publicity's sake..I guess it's a mutual benefit thing. A lot of youtubers also resort to titles regarding being gay, just cause it gets views. It's like talking about drugs or something..its just an edgy thing to talk about. Anyways, I am sorry if she is bitter about her boyfriend and is using Ur so gay to offend him...then yes she is being offensive, but gay guys always have this thing about those girls and that they really can do no wrong. She's human and had a stupid song..is not an option. I get mad cause I am frustrated by blind trust of someone who obviously has a lot to gain from strategically saying the right thing to their fans/demographic.
