Is the Katy Perry single a little bit rude to gay people?

There has been some degree of controversy over whether Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed A Girl’ is homophobic or just an example of the fact that sexuality is no longer a black and white subject matter and that we all exist in a strange world where our sexual preferences are far more grey.

Doctors and columnists have queued to put forward their opinions and the singles buying public in both the UK and America have made their feeling clear by making 'I Kissed A Girl' a Number One record.

However, our only issue with this whole situation is why nobody is questioning how such a second rate electro-pop song made it to Number One anywhere? It is one of the least inspiring tracks of the year and surely the only reason people are buying it is because acceptance is currently more fashionable than hatred.

It almost certainly wouldn’t have made Number One or even radio playlists if it had been called ‘I Kissed An Arab’ or ‘I Kissed My Uncle Graham’ but that is not the point. It shouldn’t have made playlists at all – because it is rubbish, not because it might be a bit rude to gay people.

In other, completely unrelated non-gay news, here is a nice picture of Jake Gyllenhaal filming the Prince Of Persia movie.
