Katy Perry: ‘I Did More’ Than Just Kiss a Girl During Christian Upbringing at Summer Camp
Breitbart News ^ | 19 March 2017 | by DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Posted on 03/19/2017 4:11:21 PM PDT by drewh

Pop superstar Katy Perry opened up about her religious upbringing during the Human Rights Campaign’s annual gala dinner in Los Angles Saturday night, explaining that she felt “curious” abut her sexuality while attending Christian youth groups as a child. While accepting the evening’s National Equality Award, the 32-year-old “Roar” singer — who was raised by two pastors and began her singing career in churches — said that she had spent her childhood attempting to “pray the gay away at Jesus camps.”

Perry added that the lyrics to her 2008 breakout single “I Kissed a Girl” were just a tease of what she’d done during her upbringing.

“Truth be told, I did more than that,” she said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “But how was I going to reconcile that with the gospel-singing girl raised in youth groups that were pro-conversion camps? What I did know was I was curious, and even then I knew sexuality was not as black and white as this dress. But in 2008, when that song came out, I knew that I started a conversation, and a lot of the world seemed curious enough to sing along, too.”

The singer said her childhood “bubble started to burst” when she was introduced to LGBT people in her professional life.

“These people were nothing like I had been taught to fear,” she said. “They were the most free, strong, kind and inclusive people I have ever met. They stimulated my mind and they filled my heart with joy, and they freaking danced all the while doing it. These people are actually magic, and they are magic because they are living their truth. Oh, my goodness, what a revelation… and not the last chapter of the Bible.”

You should look up the definition of gossip before you demand it be stopped from being posted.

This is factual evidence of evil at work. Something we should be well aware of.

why do these people think any of us out here care who they did what with at summer camp years ago?

or for that matter, yesterday?

I frankly don’t care much if she mated with a mule.

its not my business.
its between her, her obgyn and proctologist, and her Creator

I have no say and no interest in it.
why do these people think we do?????????????

ps: I am not complaining that you posted it.
only complaining about the people in these articles who insist on telling us all their sordid sexual escapades as if we were staying up late at night with bated breath just having to to read all about what dumb things they did at summer camp 10 years ago

they are stupid to begin with, and they are extra-stupid to think we don’t have anything better to do than listen to their silliness

Sadly, this homo-promoting ignoramous has tremendous influence on young people. Traditional morality is under major assault and it’s people like her who are the public face of the charge.

Culturally irrelevant. She’s fighting the last war over again. Something tells me this -A - list singer, dancer, actor just isn’t
going to make it in politics. Lesbian or otherwise.

Just run in California and watch your Democrat/Progressive friends split.

Why is it that these morons think anybody wants to know what they did under the covers? Does she need the attention that badly? These people have no respect for themselves, let alone others.

Just go on to VigilantCitizen.com and you will see many, many examples of the depraved behavior that is being put into music, movies and the fashion world. They are definitely pledged to the devil and seem to be pressuring stars into degrading themselves and the society as a way of getting to the top. It seems that it you do not worship satan and do his bidding you will not get a job. It is far, far worse than Hollywood of other times. You have to really see it to believe it. Pass this around.

Who cares? Obviously the dark horse rider needs more money to fund her Satanistic, hedonistic lifestyle so she’s opening her mouth once again.

"...when she was introduced to LGBT people in her professional life."

That pretty much says it all.

Her whole career can summed up as “I hate you, daddy.”

I swear, liberals are obsessed with sex. They have to find it in EVERYTHING. Speaking of which, you do notice now that there is at least one gay character in EVER show on TV, even if it makes no sense?
