From Christian Today:
The evangelical Christian parents of US chart topper Katy Perry have lashed out at the lyrics of their daughter’s No 1 hit single ‘I Kissed A Girl’.
Her parents are outraged by the song’s provocative lyrics, which include “I kissed a girl and I liked it”.
Perry’s mother, Mary Hudson, says she is disappointed at the career path her daughter has decided to go down.
"I hate the song,” she was quoted by the Daily Record as saying. “It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting. Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family.
"I can't even listen to that song. The first time I heard it I was in total shock. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray.”
The 23-year-old former gospel singer’s track continues to soar to the top of music charts around the world.
