Katy Perry, We Need To Talk

How I loathe these pop tarts like Ke$ha and Katy Perry who claim to be hip and cool trans allies but are so full of fail

Once again Katy Perry has opened her mouth and put her pump in it when it comes to trans people. 

From the latest edition of Rolling Stone:

"I wasn't pissed," she says. "I mean, I can't be a full ->-bleeped-<- every day of the week. That's an exaggerated part of my personality. It's me hamming it up. The exterior me is a little bit more smiley than the interior me. So, that picture, it just shows that I'm a normal, everyday woman who has really big dreams. It gives encouragement to any girls out there that they, too, can be a larger-than-life cartoon."

Natasha,
  That's Hollywood.  That place has more of the foot-in-mouth disease of any place celebrities go.  There's always the Paparazzi around, stalking to catch these things.  Be glad you are not a popular celebrity, they'll get you as well!

Many people jumped to the conclusion Perry was pro LGBT because she did the "I Kissed a Girl" song.  All that song was for her was just a springboard.

She started out as a Xian singer till she found that sucking Hollywood PR types paid a lot better than sucking Jesus music types.
