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

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.”

Hmmm....

I know it's wrong, but we need a reenactment with a Sports Illustrated Model.

Just saying...

Well Katy - you can worship at the alter of sex if you want - it’s a tempting drug. But you will never be happy inside. And after you run through your empty life - your destructive choice will be called to account.

Lots of (relatively) good and nice people in hell.

God isn’t happy anyone ends up there. Hard for our minds to comprehend.

Gays are so happy, right up until they kill themselves for being narcissistic pleasure addicts.

As long as it is “today,” there is still the chance that she will not harden her heart.

This is just so, so sad. How absolutely heart-breaking for her family that they must continually have their flesh and blood child so publicly and profoundly mock the living God whom they have given their lives to serve.

How utterly sad for the wrath that the younger Perry is storing up for her unrepentant heart. She is, and has lead many, many into the path of eternal destruction. This debt, enormous as it is, will have to be paid by someone.
