I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It Part 2
Katy Perry has become famous with the song “I kissed a Girl.”
Her parents are pastors and apparently they really don’t like the song. She was raised in a conservative Christian home. Here is the link: Link
Would it bother you if your daughter kissed a girl and liked it?

If I had a daugther– yes, I woudl be concerned about any form of youthful recklessness.
As a matter of adult sexual orientation, I would have no serious objection.
No. I don’t think so.
I want her to make her own decisions, as well as mistakes.
Learn to live with the choices you make and the aftermath to them all,
be it good experiences or regrets.
maybe, but that’s a long way off so I can’t really say.
I know I would like it.
My daughter is bisexual. No it would not bother me at all.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it… As long as this other girl wasn’t a skank. No skanks for any of my kids!
Her real name is Kate Hudson as well. I do believe.

Good question! I understand when you have parents that are conservative that might worry over your conduct in the world, but really….I say your parentst should have nothing to do with your sex life. I don’t tell them I’m unhappy with theirs, why should they tell me they are unhappy with mine!?! I think it’s more embarrassing that her parents would express their displeasure in the media instead of keeping it between Katy and themselves.
Ew. Katy Perry. And no, it wouldn’t.
Well of course….and it would bother you too Dan. I would bet the farm on it
Nope.
I think that I’ll have a hard time dealing with my daughter kissing anyone … male or female. lol I figure that stress is just rite of passage when you have kids.
I’m hoping that after the initial “you’re too young to do that!” response, I’ll be okay with whomever she chooses to kiss.
Nope. I’m pretty open-minded.
Considering I like to, I would be a hypocrite to get upset about it if my daughter chose to.
She used to be a Christian singer, and she didn’t really want her Christian followers to hear about her kissing a girl and liking it, so she went from Katy Hudson to Katy Perry. And she also did not want to be confused with Kate Hudson.
At least I wouldn’t have to deal with my hypothetical daughter’s jerkoff boyfriends that way.
Seeing as I date women, no it wouldn’t bother me that it was a girl but it would bother me that she was kissing anyone. That is my baby girl and she is going to be a virgin until she is at least thirty.
Yes. It would. I like Katy Perry a LOT though.
Uh-huh.
I was actually just listening to that song on the radio, and I thought to myself: there’s no way that song would have made it on to the airwaves 10 years ago.
I don’t think it would. If I had a daughter, by the time she was at the age of kissing people, I would hope she’d be able to make sound decisions that make her happy.
a kiss is a kiss, they feel good either way
Nope, not a bit.
Ha, nope. Mostly ’cause I’d be a hypocrite if I let it bug me. I’m definitely one of those “kissed a girl and liked it” kinda women.
It’s called adolescence. Exploring your sexuality.
I don’t want kids, so not my problem lol, hypothetically speaking…I probably wouldn’t be upset, but you never know unless you go through it I guess. And btw, Katy Perry looks NOTHING like I thought she would. I mean I figured she’d be pretty and a brunette, but her face looks more babydollish than I pictured.
I accidentally became the owner of a long, blonde wig – yes, accidentally – and I’m willing to investigate this phenomena, if I can get a grant to do it.
Nope. I’m plenty bisexual myself.
nope
who knows… the human mind is so complex.
Nope. You’re supposed to accept your kids for who they are. If she wants to kiss girls… more power to her.
Not that I’m ever having kids. gahhh
Suddenly I realise just how essential pastors are to our erotic entertainment. If they weren’t there to be shocked, half the fun of discussing all this sweaty pawing would be gone. As has been said of God: if they did not exist, it would be necessary to invent them.
its for fun !
no.
I’d probably celebrate that I might not have to face the challenges of raising a straight child.
I like that song, but her others are shit.
No, as long at isn’t an “experimental game” and she had a boyfriend already like in the song P:
if she’s a consenting adult, nah, it wouldn’t bother me. as long as she’s happy. hey, i’ve done it before (long time ago and not sober!)
Only if she wrote an insipid pop song about it.
I have kissed a few girls and have liked it each time…
so wouldnt it be hypocritical of me if it bothered me if I had a daughter who kissed a girl and liked it?
It wouldn’t bother me if my daughter kissed a girl and liked it. It would just bother me if Katy Perry was my daughter.
my husband actually wants this to happen. He wants her to be a lesbian so she doesn’t get pregnant -__-
yes it would bother me.
in my head I’d be screaming WHEN THE FUCK DID I HAVE A DAUGHTER?
On a more serious note, I’d be like “is gayness a gene? did she get it from me?”
I would only be upset because I want grandkids. I want her to be happy, but can’t she pop one out anyway?
I’ve been hearing about this song. It’s everywhere. But there was a song in the ’90s called “I Kissed a Girl”- also sung by a woman. Is this a remake?
dude, lesbos are the new black this year.
once again, screw the religion, do whatever you please. it’s beginning to annoy me that all the CANT DO THIS AND CANT DO THAT stems from Christianity. so what CAN christians do? live in a cave and not be exposed to the BAD BAD outside world?
i’ve seen some pious Christians do far worse than girl kissing a girl.
I think it might bother me at first, but I think I’d get over it over time.
Depends. If she was just kissing the girl to kiss her and didn’t have true feelings for her. I don’t want my kids to be “party” bi. You know, the drunk type that just make out with anyone.
Xo
@fullmetalbunny -
You are right. There is a song from the 90s called that.
I think it was by Lisa Lobe?
Xo
Actually, she apparently had never kissed a girl. She just did the song for the lulz.
Also, no.
@maebemaebenot - QFT.
I really hate that song. Mainly because it’s the 1000th (Or some such number in that vein) #1 rock hit, and… Well, seriously. Nobody’s going to remember THAT particular landmark
@CrypticxDivinity - ??
When I have kids someday, it will bother me no matter WHO they kiss simply because I’m sure I won’t want them to grow up. It won’t have anything to do with orientation.
no.
Nope. ^^
My future daughter can live her life the way she chooses, and I’ll always love her, even if I may disagree.
This is not to say that I disagree with homosexuality, but there are some things I do disagree with that children potentially do.
I think my dad would have a heart attack if I kissed another girl and kill himself if I liked it.
He’s a complete homophobic.
I wouldn’t be bothered if my kids were straight or bi or gay though… I think you should be allowed to experiment.
its only a song.
not really. i’m kinda used to having same sex relations noticed around me now. i don’t really give a crap if yer dating your puppy for f’s sake! as long as you love each other (gawd, don’t know how many times that’s been spouted) then there shouldn’t be a problem. HELL! i’ve always wanted to kiss a girl. yet at times, i admit i wanna kiss a boy
I would be concerned if my hypothetical daughter were in the situation described in the song (drinking a little too much, kissing a total stranger, and describing that person as an “experimental game”). The gender of the person she kissed would not be what bothered me.
And yes, I do know all the lyrics to that song =_=
This was a topic my family discussed over Thanksgiving when I first started college, and it came out that I had kissed quite a few girls.
My mom said something like: Oh my god…. Oh…. my…. god…. she’s kissing girls. SHE’S KISSING GIRLS!
To which my dad responded with: So what if she’s kissing girls? At least she’s not doing drugs! ::looks at me:: Don’t do drugs, okay?
Awesome.
I’d be pretty happy if my daughter kissed a girl and liked it.
It’s her life and I want her to be happy, no matter the sex/gender of the person she happens to kiss, wants to spend her life with, etc.
As long as they are a good person and treat her right, it wouldn’t matter.
If it’s some shallow teen boppiness (don’t know if there’s such a word), then I will be genuinely concerned. Otherwise, if she can think for herself, then I won’t intervene.
Absolutely, just like it would bother me if my daughter sinned in any other way.
I preferred “Ur So Gay”….. “I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf.” That is just lovely.
girl on girl = ok. guy on guy = NOT ok. sorry but this double standard is here stay. and i fully support it.
I have sons. This is terribly hypocritical, but I’m not sure I’d be so OK with them kissing another guy as I would be if they were girls kissing other girls.
Lmao. No wonder she is the way she is! I feel like the children of pastors are either 1) Just like them or 2) the EXACT OPPOSITE.
Good for her!
And no, I wouldn’t care. As long as she is okay with it, I’m okay with it. If I said otherwise, I would be a hypocrite.
ERM, actually, Yes, it probably would bother me if my hypothetical daughter kissed a girl. Like that.
Not at all.
I can’t really say, my daughter is married and has a baby and hasn’t kissed any girls that I know of… but this song really bugs my hubby and he told our 14 yr old son he is not allowed to listen to it.
-groans-
It bothers me that I like that song!
a question I have been pondering lately… not so much about my girl… somehow more about one of my boys.
should they like it?
If I had a daughter and she kissed a girl, I would definately be upset.
Bother me? You’re damn tootin’ it would. Having written that…I would also remember that all of us “take our own hides to market.” It’s their life and it’s their choice…no matter what I might feel.
She has and I used to be. Then I started back to college and found out it is a common thing now days with young woman her age so I’ve lossened up since then.
my friend (who’s a straight guy) sings that song like a gay guy. it adds a different twist makes me giggle.
No.
@Peteismyhero - apparently you missed Jill Sobule’s I kissed a girl that came out slightly more than 10 years ago. It’s almost the exact same song with slightly different lyrics. It was on the air alot.
As for the original question. I could care less who my daughter kisses. I don’t want to think about it though b/c my children are also going to remain virginal and chaste forever and ever and ever amen.
nope. especially not if she’s 23. geez. Maybe if she was ten or something.
No.
@darkoozeripple - hahahahahahaha
Eh, I’m only 21…no kids. But I think it would bother me at first, with the environment I was raised in, I’m used to only hetero things. I still get grossed out when I see same sex couples kissing, etc. I would have to get used to it.
nope not at all but then i like kissing girls
@maebemaebenot - QFT = Quoted for truth. Meaning I agree wholeheartedly.
@CrypticxDivinity - oh! good to know. heh. today i learned a new jargon.
@maebemaebenot - Sorry, I assume everyone that uses the internets knows internet slang. Or maybe I know too much of it.
Not at all
nope not at all
“Do what your love, fuck the rest.”
-from the movie LIttle Miss Sunshine
Well, I don’t have a daughter, but I DO have a girlfriend. And my mother was not pleased when she first found out about my bisexual pride…
But if I were to have a daughter and she wanted to kiss a girl…I would probably be the proudest mother on the planet, tbh.
Nope. Been there done that myself and it’s my 3 year old daughters favorite song right now. It’s really too funny to hear her dancing around singing it!
LOL. I heard about how she used to be a pretty popular Christian singer… I guess she “sold out”. Well she sold big! I actually hate that song, and not because of the content, because it’s a boring and shallow song. The melody is sort of catchy, but there’s no imagination. There was a really great song by the same title that was a hit in the mid-90′s that was far more clever and tuneful.
if my *hypothetical* daughter kissed a girl it wouldn’t bother me a bit… i’ve kissed girls and liked it, my dad is gay, and so is one of my kids first cousins.
what i would be more upset about would be if my “hypothetical daughter actually liked that katy perry song – it’s pretty crappy, and lacking in musical talent.
dude, she’s an adult. but yeah, I don’t think I’d want my daughter kissing other daughters.
no, that is called curriosity and part of life
it would bother me if my future daughter kissed a girl and liked it.
not at all.
you should love your children no matter what they do.
@raizhafae - hahaha! yes, i agree!
Katy Perry is so immature.
I really wouldn’t care at all. Out of all things, kissing someone is
nothing serious that would worry me about my kids doing, no matter what
the gender of the other person. Maybe if they went further and didn’t
use protection, I’d be really angry.
I would let my daughter make her own decisions. My job as a parent isn’t to make decisions for her, it is to educate her well and teach her right from wrong, and that it is not always black and white.
Kiss a boy, kiss a girl, kiss a kitten, kiss a frog for all I care!
@FIlipinaChica04 - I loved that quote when I saw Little Miss Sunshine.
My dad is a Pastor and I grew up in a conservative Christian home too- and guess what???!!!- It’s one of my favorite songs.
There is a difference between kissing a girl and liking it—as opposed to having a romantic relationship with a girl.
Either way, its a personal choice, and if your child wants to kiss a girl- what’s the harm….honestly….
it’s only a kiss.
Just my opinion.
@onlyFORaLILwhile - GAH HA HA HA HA HA!!!! ROTF!!!
@Twist2daRav3n - Puah ha ha ha! I love the reactions dad gives! They go from uber crazy to super chill like yours! =)
no.
yes- but only if it was meant sexually.
no, not unless i was a huge hypocrite which i am not.
I really like it.
Yes but, I will accept it and love her anyway. At least I think I can.
no…i dont care if she was really a lesbian or if she was drunk or if she was just curious.
In all honesty, it probably would bother me. Would I let her know it? No.
Not in the least. Considering the fact that there would be two women raising my hypothetical daughter, I’m sure we would be fine with whomever she chose to kiss. That is, as long as she is old enough to be kissing in the first place.
Since parents are the ones that raise their kids, it is not unreasonable to think their kids will have the same basic values and ideals their parents have. And yes, how kids turn out, is definitely the business of the parents.
@Twist2daRav3n - Hah, that’s awesome!
like she said in the song.. she was just “curious”. so no i wouldn’t have any objections to it. i think it’s a pretty clever song cuz its so different than the rest of music industry nowadays. props to katy!
Yes
Red Herring alert. Promiscuity is the main worry, all this other stuff is distraction. I mean, we are awesome people. Our love deserves honor, respect…..the sheer volume and quality of joy available in long term committed relationships should not be traded for a quick thrill, or misused from mistaken self identity…..we are created wondrously. So let’s become wondrous people!
This is a red herring. of little importance….but no one wants to discuss MY OWN SIN and become pure…….so….we will gossip about many distractions…….
Heck, yes! I disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle (though I don’t hate homosexuals).
If I had a daughter…yes it would bother me. Ack…I have too much to say on this one to fit it into a comment..if you care to know…check my xanga sometime.
Hard to say, good Sir. I have kissed a few girls [in my younger years], and I liked it.
But it would probably bug me if my daughter did it.. heck, it would bother me if she kissed ANYONE! =P
I would say something similar to: “Woah, dude-er-chick, you could have told me you were transgendered before I walked in on the lezzy make-out session! I can only take so many shocks in one day! …And seriously, we have got to go shopping. You look horrible in that dress.”
I can honestly say that I doesn’t bother me that my daughter has kissed a girl, she is still unsure if she likes it or not. But it wont bother me because I would be hypocritical if I were to be upset. I find it interesting though, that the question is specific when you say daughter. Does anyone have guts to role reverse or is it just our daughters that we must keep pure?
Nope I wouldn’t be bothered at all. I’m bi. If I did it would be very hypocrital. As long as they aren’t realted it’s all good.
Nah !
nope not at all
Yes.
@Lizard_Tongue - it’s true I tell you, true!
But don’t ask how.
Yes, I would mind. And it should since God finds that sort of behavior unacceptable as shown particularly in the Old Testament.
The connotations within the lyrics makes me so SICK of that song!!! Make it go away already. My initial thoughts upon hearing the song was,”How in the world did they think a song like that was fit for playing on public airwaves?” I’m thinking specifically of children and their sponge-like, innocent ears & minds.
Ewww…it makes my skin crawl!
Now of course kissing anyone isn’t wrong. It’s just that this song promotes enjoying a somewhat sexual kiss.
No
Whatever…
whoops, sorry mom! lol
My daughter has and when I think about how three of her friends have had abortions recently, I say, “who cares.” It used to bother me in the very beginning, but now, my husband and I are like whatever about it. No biggie.
Have a great weekend Dan!
Yup, but it’s not like she’s gonna stop being my daughter afterwards.
I would be scared. T_T
ahaha i know this post is from awhile ago, but i still want to comment ^-^
upon my mom figuring out i was gay, she sat me down and we had a discussion about tolerance, appropriate behavior in public, and discrimination.
after that talk, she sighed deeply and said “damnit, now i won’t have any granchildren!!”
yeah, my mom’s pretty cool.
