Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While jacking off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don't eat meat
And drive electrical cars
You're so indie rock it's almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like
No you don't even like
No you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like
No you don't even like
No you don't even like
You're so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You're so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you're so amused
That nobody understands you
I'm so mean cause I cannot get you outta' your head
I'm so angry cause you'd rather MySpace instead
I can't believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like
No you don't even like
No you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like
No you don't even like

Oh oh oh oh oh

You're so gay
You're so gay
You walk around like you're oh so debonair
You pull 'em down and there's really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like

You're so gay and you don't even like boys

The lyrics to Katy Perry's song, Ur So Gay, are controversial and have been subject to criticism for their offensive content. The lyrics are directed towards a man whom the singer perceives as effeminate, calling him "gay" despite the fact that the person in question may not be homosexual. The lyrics are derisive and mocking, as the singer taunts the man's lifestyle and mannerisms, while accusing him of being insincere.
The first verse of the song describes the man in question as someone who wears an H&M scarf and indulges in pornography while listening to Mozart. According to the singer, the man laments about living in Los Angeles, wishing he was in the rain reading Hemingway. He is painted as a person who drives an electric car, doesn't eat meat, and embodies the indie rock culture. The last line of the verse suggests that the man is also very pale, requiring a high SPF sunscreen to avoid getting sunburnt.
The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer accusing the man of being sad and needing to eat more food. The man, according to the singer, is amused by the fact that no one understands him. The singer claims that they are angry and mean because they cannot get the man out of their head, although they are surprised that they fell in love with a person that wears as much makeup as the man in question. Overall, the song is derogatory and offensive and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

FREE WILL , whence is it given, whence does it end?
GOD created us 1stly in SPIRIT then formed our flesh in our mothers wombs.
Free will starts on the day you born here and ends on the day you depart from here. it is not given nor found earlier, as earlier you didn`t exist.
earth is testing ground, as it has became lucifers kingdom.
testing ground for us, to show GOD whom amongst us shall be deceived by lucifer.
All the answers are pretty clear ones - aren´t these? - MANY are deceived and FEW are not.
None of us can`t drag free will beyond humans earthly life, as it is not earlier nor after found nor given.
Jeremiah 1:5 KJV Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
FREE WILL is given for the choices which are here on earth to make.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Since making choices and being deceived takes place here on earth, free will does not go beyond human earthly lives.

Everyone is talking about how Katy would be cancelled for releasing this in 2024 and they’re so right😭 but honestly as a gay person I don’t find the song offensive, especially because I KNOW Katy perry isn’t homophobic.
After her song “I kissed a girl”, and after her acceptance speech from the award she got from the song at the Human Rights Campaign Gala, you can tell that she has a history of sexual fluidity.
She also appeared in Taylor Swift’s music video “you need to calm down”, and she has openly talked about her religious upbringing and how it’s caused her to struggle as well.
There’s a lot of things like that.
I don’t think Katy Perry is bad. The lyrics “you’re so gay and you don’t even like boys” aren’t offensive, just funny, honestly. The offensive part comes into play when you consider the stereotypes listed, “hang yourself with your H&M scarf” and in the music video, all the soy coffee… so yeah, some stereotypes there.
I fully understand why people might be offended.
But as a gay person, I’m not. There are… limits to how much “joking” you can get away with. These stereotypes are like “jokes” in the song. “Haha gay funny gay people do these things haha”… it doesn’t bother me that much. I do find it a bit funny, honestly. The line is crossed when you openly talk about how “all gay people act this way and do these things and it’s so dumb blah blah blah” you know what I mean? It’s about tone.
In 2007, not only were these jokes completely tolerated, normalized, and common, but she was also singing in a much more… lighthearted-not-purposefully-homophobic sense. You know? My point is, she may have harmed some people, but she didn’t mean to. It doesn’t excuse her actions, or the homophobic lyrics, but I find it quite easy not to care and to forgive her when I think about how hard this song made me laugh when I first listened to it… as a gay person. Like, honestly, it doesn’t matter that much to me. I know she didn’t think it would hurt anyone, and the slight offence a few people might have taken from it seriously isn’t much damage. 😅
Anyway don’t bully me for this comment. Just voicing my opinion. I’m not judging y’all who are offended, it does make sense. That’s valid.
