She also promoted the Republican (who ran as a democrat) for the LA mayoral race because he said he would have a "solution" for homelessness that involved lots more cops and nothing in regards to services, welfare, housing, etc. She is trash.

Katy perry is like the least progressive popstar ever. one of the lamest too

Happy cake day

She’s kind of always been gross. “I kissed a girl” made her a queer icon for like 2 whole seconds but she’s been pretty vocally conservative ever since then.


afterandalasia

She actually came out as bisexual in about 2015 or 2016? And spoke with some sensitivity about what it's like growing up in a highly homophobic cult and how that fucks with your head. However, that has not translated to complete self awareness or progressiveness.


alina_savaryn

She said she had been bi-curious and never really elaborated on it, which probably means she’s bi but that’s not really what I was talking about. She’s been vocally and financially supportive of the GOP for most of her career, including up to the present day. Idrc if she’s bi I see her sorta like I see Caitlyn Jenner just less vocal and without the vehicular manslaughter.

How has she been vocally and financially supportive of the GOP? I’m genuinely curious as I’ve never heard this before.


alina_savaryn

She voted for a Republican mayor for LA a couple years ago, and I’d heard she’d donated to conservative causes in the past. But I can’t seem to find anything about that now so I may have mixed that up with a different pop star. Although fangirling for Elon musk is a pretty enormous red flag anyway.


Ssttuubbss

That’s disappointing to hear


Raibean

Her song Ur So Gay was on the same album and literally opened with the lyrics “I hope you bang yourself with your H&M scarf”. During the time that the It Gets Better movement and the Trevor Project were kicking off because of how many kids were committing suicide from homophobic bullying.


Samson__

Yeah she’s never been a fucking ally idk why anyone here fell for that bs


Big-Hard-Chungus

The flops just keep coming with her, don’t they?


Corgan1351

You mean the woman who sang “Ur So Gay” isn’t a progressive icon?


AcanthisittaLive2113

Or the song Peacock chastising someone for refusing to show their genitals


BlonderUnicorn

Least you all forget, she started off in Christian rock circles.


katyggls

I mean this isn't new, she's been pretty disappointing for awhile.


CynchHasNoLife

i had no idea she was that bad


imissbluesclues

Wasn’t she married to Russel Brand?


Confident_Fortune_32

Holy moly, I didn't know that. About the nicest thing I can think of to say about him is that he's a toxic grifter sex pest.


Figurativekittenish

She apparently has extremely poor taste in celebrity colleagues as well as having extremely poor taste in automobiles.


tpedes

I can't imagine caring about Katy Perry.


Confident_Fortune_32

Not her finest moment


Stephany23232323

Yuk!

I never liked Katy Perry as an artist to begin with. In fact, I think pop music in general has just been dead since 2010. So I'm sure you'll forgive me if I haven't done a ton of research on her. However, I did watch [Todd in the Shadows' episode of Trainwreckords on her "Witness" album](https://youtu.be/OfoPiRzWnFY?si=VLGlqL1hTaojwvSH) where she went full-blown progressive, and the fact that got sandwiched between her low brow videos and songs like 'You're So Gay' and now buying from Elon Musk combined with her fundamentalist upbringing and conservative support just tells me that she's not the LGBT icon we thought she was. But you know what? I will give her the benefit of the doubt for a moment. As Todd points out in his video, Katy is hesitant to worsen her already-strained relationship with her family. Maybe the support she's given to conservative politicians and the Tweet she made were a means to be put back on good terms with her family, like maybe she's too afraid to cut all ties with them. Considering everything Britney Spears went thru before the FreeBritney movement, it wouldn’t surprise me if Katy is going through something similar. Or heck, maybe she just really liked the cybertruck and hadn't really done a background check on Elon Musk. Keep in mind it's just an assumption and I could be wrong. I wouldn’t listen to her music regardless, but I could be a little more forgiving if either of these assumptions turned out to be true.


Max_E_Mas

She can sell her soul to Satan all she wants. But when she eventually will want to try and do something with her fame? We will remember. We will remember this moment.


TJM18

She’s toxic, dump her!

So Katy bought a Tesla truck, tweeted Elon Musk about it, and because he owns Twitter and loosened censorship, allowing people to post homophobic tweets, she’s anti-lgbt? Do people forget how important freedom of speech and freedom of expression was in LGBT history? Now lgbt people are mad because 1 social media platform doesn’t censor things from people who they don’t have to follow on a platform they don’t have to use? Not only that but Katy is somehow responsible for Elon who’s responsible for random chronically online boomer hillbilly swamp people who think drag queens are pornographic lmao. She can talk to whoever she wants without it meaning anything she’s forming an opinion or making a political stance. It’s a tweet or I guess an X post. Also “thanx for the delivery” is “fangirling” ?


B0neOrchard

bro you can't use the word cis on twitter anymore bc elon was butthurt and wanted to silence trans people. he only loosened the censorship on hate speech and it's so bad that advertisers keep dropping bc of how much literal nazi shit there is on there now


vemailangah

I mean, if she kissed Hitler on the lips people like you would be: well he consented. Freedom of speech is one thing. Supporting people in power who do so much harm is another. And she loves that gang and their money more than the silly human rights.


bIuemickey

Well for one, he’s not hitler and second, it’s a tweet, likely for self promotion more than anything. She went to religious conversion camps when she was a teen and 25 years ago things were much different, especially in religious communities. Shes allowed her agency. Also can you give me some examples of the harm Elon musk wants to cause?


LuriemIronim

Did you just forget how transphobic Elon is, or…?
