Beth is completely on target and represents a viewpoint shared by quite a few people in the lesbian community. Katy Perry's song plays into the stereotype that lesbian flirtations are nothing but flirtations. The line, "it felt so wrong" even implies that same sex love is something to second guess.
Also, Katy is lifted up as some queer role model (e.g. being featured in the Advocate), when she's not actually gay. It's especially disconcerting when queer musicians, especially lesbian musicians, struggle for main stream acceptance and respect.
I'm actually surprised that Perez has been on the Katy Perry bandwagon, given his supposed commitment to LGBTQ rights and the queer struggle for full acceptance. Yes, she has cute outfits, but she's not all that.
