I completely agree. I'm open-minded and talk to my kids about these things. A person is a person; I'm cool with homosexuality and bisexuality, but not when it's turned into a game or a fad. So many people really suffer to accept themselves and to get others to accept them. This song seems to turn it into something disrespectful - it takes away from the real-life aspect of acceptance that so many are fighting for - and that's not the message I want my children getting. So I change the station when this comes on.

Anyway, it's very catchy and I like it, mostly because she's got a really interesting voice.
ITA!

Like the song for it's catchiness, personally I don't think her voice is really interesting. But the whole "look! I'm straight and I'm kissing a girl" thing has been overdone in the entertainment business. Now it just annoys me.

If they came up with more refreshing lyrics, I could overlook the whole girl-on-girl thing, but as it is... really ho hum.

Plenty of heteros experiment, but when a girl experiments with another girl it's looked down upon? If you're curious, how will you ever find out if you like something without experimenting, and honestly, if this songs gets people to open their minds a bit, fantastic!

As far as the girl/girl being sexy whereas boy/boy isn't, well, that's cause most guys aren't sexy..duh! Females have always been the more sensual, delicate sex, as men are rough and hard. It's a almost a completely different situation, so to even attempt to compare them is pointless. Girl on girl will always be looked at differently than guy on guy.

Oy, have to say a couple of things here. First off, speak to the gay people who have been harrassed, maybe beaten up, looked down upon, maybe ostracized by or cast out of their own families - do you think they take their sexuality seriously? I daresay they do. It's who they are, and too many people have to fight to be accepted for who they are. I don't think it's about experimenting; I think it's about being true to yourself.

Second, I can't say that I see gal-on-gal being looked down upon. It seems positively rampant among the heterosexuals from what I can see. Mostly because society is still, unfortunately, run by mostly men and men get turned on by it. Conversely, the men running society don't get turned on by guy-on-guy, so those guys are still criticized and harrassed. Let's be honest: men laid society's groundwork hundreds of years ago and we're still fighting our way out of it.

Yeah, women are sexy. We're soft and meant to be alluring, but I think about a bazillion women out there would disagree with your comment that most guys aren't sexy. Heterosexual women find men sexy for lots of different reasons - rough and hard being among them.

None of this is meant to offend. Now that I'm older I can see that sex is a lot more than just fun. It's about your self-respect, your image of yourself, it can lead your life one way or another, it can bring you acceptance or scorn with different groups. It's not a game; it's a part of life to be learned about and dealt with maturely.
JMHO

Here's the facts. More men find girl/girl hotter than guy/guy. Period. More women find girl/girl hotter than guy/guy. Period. That's the way it is as of now. Those aren't stereotypes. That's the way most people view those situations. Now, do some guys find guy/guy hot...sure, as do some girls. When I was describing men and women, I was using that to show why the previous views are the way they are. Guys typically will not find other guys sexy. However, a lot of girls might find another girl sexy. Can you agree? That's my point.
As for open mindedness...sheesh! evidently you girls haven't read my previous threads. When it comes to sexuality, I'm about as open as it gets. I have tons of gay friends and have voted and marched/attended parades to show my support for their need for equal treatment. I also think that sexuality isn't black and white and is meant to be experiemnted with. That's totally different from hurting someone and manipulating them. I don't see this song painting a cold calculating girl out to disrespect the lesbians of the world by luring them into her trap, getting them to fall for her, then yelling "sike! I'm a hetero, stupid gay girl!". I see it as her out with friends having a good time and experimenting with a cute girl. As for her cheating, well, we don't know the arrangement she has with her bf. Still, it's a song. As is "F--- tha Police" by NWA. Both of which I've listened to numerous times, yet somehow I'm able to remain faithful to my gf, respect my gay friends, and not kill police officers. This is a song afterall. It's not a songs place to educate...that's the role of parents, ultimately.
I also wanted to clarify that I didn't mean people shouldn't take their own sexuality seriously. Of course you should. What I meant was sexuality in general tends to be so cut and dry, so in the box. Now, I can also say how I don't care for people making light of homosexual acts. Girls who get drunk and kiss other girls simply to turn other guys on. I don't particularly find that amusing. Again, I don't see that in this song.
Finally, fabae, it seems we're kind of converses of each other. Growing up, in a religious household, sex was a bit taboo, not really talked about, not really "fun", per se, but as I got older and experimented more, I learned that sex is most definitely about fun, but can also be very sacred. Self respect is a subjective constraint and I most certainly am not going to lvie my life and sexuality being worried about what different groups might thing of me. This is my individuality here, and I'm quite secure in my choices. Sometimes those choices were to go out, meet a girl, then have sex with her. Hell, I might never talk to her again, but I was quite up front about that. Some of my choices dealt with finding a girl I clicked with and dating her for a few months. In the end, no matter what you want to say or what you think, it is a game. We all play it. It's how we play it that differentiates us from the others. We all sit there and wonder if we call that guy or girl will he think we're too needy and never call back. Do we wait? Do we pertend we're busy when he/she calls so it gets them more worked up about talking with us? We've all done it, either consciously or subconsciously. What matters is do you play with repsect, or are you out to use and hurt people?

when I sing it I change the lyrics to say I kissed a boy. I had the cashier at Publix busting a gut.

I think I just get sucked in by the beat of the song and not so much the lyrics. Why else would anyone like the song "funky cold medina"?? Half the time I unknowingly make up my own words anyway and sing the wrong lyrics (think blinded by the light) "wrecked up like a douche"?? Is that the word? I don't think so.... So, yeah, this song is catchy for sure!!

Aah there seem to be a lot of deep responses on sexuality in this thread, well I assume they're deep but I haven't read any of them because they are too long.

Anyway, still waiting on "I kissed a guy".

I had heard about it, but never actually listened to it until DH played it for me the other night. Now I have it on my iPOD and I love it! I constantly have it running through my head...kind of like when Kylie Minogue came out with "cant get you out of my head"...

Dude same here. That's seriously who I expected to hear singing when the name of the song came up again. I DO like this version but the original is what I remember.

Katy Perry is okay, but to be honest, I prefer Jill Sobule.
