You're daughter is her own woman and its her life. Being disappointed is natural, but to look at every homosexual encounter as "victims of molestation," is completely ridiculous. Also, God doesn't make mistakes. Homosexuality isn't learned. People are either gay or they arent. And those that are, happen to only be that way because that's how God created them. I'm sure he doesn't appreciate others trying to belittle his handywork. Kat Perry, is a drunk little girl that doesn't know how to control herself. That's all the song says. I also happen to like it. I also consider myself a christian and a lesbian. The song is not a testament or an anthem for real homosexual women who struggle to keep and maintain healthy relationships. Alright, to Father Paul.

Lyrics are powerful because they provoke thought, but they do not lead to implementation. I know, I work in this field. In the same way that Samaritans have to ask every caller if they are suicidal or not, it does not mean that they are implanting the idea into their head which will lead them to act on it. I cannot knock down some of the other articles on this website, even though I wholeheartedly disagree with them, because many are a matter of faith or opinion. However I am respectfully saying that this particular one is inaccurate. Listening to a song does not facilitate an action.
