Katy Perry’s parents calls her hit song “shameful and disgusting”

Katy - who is celebrating her second week at number one in the UK singles
chart with the track – has upset her parents with the song’s lesbian lyrics.

Katy’s mother, Mary Hudson – who along with her husband Keith is a preacher
in California - said: “I can’ even listen to that song. The first time I
heard it I was in total shock. It promotes homosexuality and its message is
shameful and disgusting. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray.
“She is our daughter and we love her and can't cut her out of our lives. But
we strongly disagree with how she is conducting herself and she knows how
disappointed we are.
“The message she is promoting is about homosexuality, which the bible
clearly states is a sin.”
‘I Kissed a Girl’ is also number one in the US and Canadian charts as well
as in the UK.
Brought up a strict Christian by her parents, Katy’s first album was a set
of devotional songs. She then moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of
stardom aged 17. Her parents are however worried that her songs and image
are damaging her faith.
Mary added: “Some of her outfits are too revealing and her father has had
words with her about it. She changed when she went to LA and is going
through a period of rebellion. Katy is not a homosexual and has just been
led astray by Hollywood.
“She's told me, 'Oh mom, I'm not going to turn into Amy Winehouse.' But I
pray all the time God will help her find salvation."
Katy has previously said she “stopped trying” to change her parents when she
reached 21, but insists she still has her faith and has a tattoo which reads
‘Jesus’ on her wrist.
‘I Kissed a Girl’ has caused massive controversy in the US with conservative
groups claiming it encourages homosexuality among young girls and gay rights
groups saying it is exploitative.
