I kissed a girl… the Katy Perry syndrome

29 January 2010 123 views No Comment
It seems that the latest fad among some young girls is to lock lips with another girl in order to thrill guys and fulfill their fantasies. The latest copy of Vogue magazine was packed with winter’s hottest trends, the latest gifts and countless pages of designer ads. But in the real world, faux lesbianism is in vogue.
Lipstick-lesbianism, bar-sexuals and LUGs (Lesbians Until Graduation) are rapidly growing in society. According to the online magazine, Salon.com girls are making out with each other, because they think guys like it. It has become the latest craze at high school and college parties.
It all began with the 2003 infamous Britney-Madonna smooch at the MTV awards. It is no surprise that with publicity-hungry celebrities and degrading female media that this generation, unlike previous generations, has no problem exhibiting this risqué behavior.
“Unfortunately, I think it’s common ,” said freshman Lupita Gonzalez. “At one point it was a big deal, but now girls are just doing it to get attention. It’s a trend.”

Pretending to be lesbian among straight girls has brought a lot of anger and disrespect to the lesbian community. Even celebrity pop singer Katy Perry has been accused of displaying offensive behavior towards the gay community due to her famous hit single I kissed a girl.

“It saddens me to see these young girls pretending to be gay and kissing girls just to please a boy or just to fit in,” said *Sally (The source’s real identity is confidential due to the sensitivity of the issue and for personal wellbeing). “It’s so insulting to me as a gay person.”

Kissing someone of the same sex to amuse the opposite sex has been the main reason why young girls experiment. They crave attention and feel that this behavior is admirable, flirty and in some cases normal.

“If a guy is satisfied with what a girl is doing,” said*Sally, “they find it okay because they are making the boy, so called man, happy.”

Some guys have admitted to finding this behavior arousing and amusing to look at, without thinking of how much social pressure is put on girls to do this.

“It’s sexy,” said freshman Dennis Mollitor, “who wouldn’t want to see two girls making out.”

However , some guys feel the opposite

However young girls continue to think of their sexual behavior as a flirty, harmless thing that is normal and in vogue. In reality, it is this type of behavior that can compromise both their self-respect and dignity, not to mention the respect they get from others.

“If a girl is kissing a girl just to please a boy, they’re dumb,” said *Sally. “It makes me feel like everything that I stand for is a joke.”
