Katy Perry, America’s leading fraudulent gay advocate, releases (or “leaked”) the music video for “Firework,” which is a documentary about the hazards of focusing too much attention on one’s breasts (FTC Warning: they explode in a dazzling fireworks display). The video features vignettes of young people feeling bad about themselves, and then not feeling bad about themselves, including a gay boy who scores a kiss, so that’s sort of sweet. She dedicated the video to the It Gets Better Project, which is sort of sweet. But I’m also quite tired of this woman — who uses the word “gay” as an insult — trying to mount an entire gay anthem discography.
