"I’ve been called for a purpose, and God has had His hand on me," singer Katy Perry told GO! Magazine when she was seventeen years old. Her parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, are church-planters, evangelists, and pastors.

Now 23, Perry is the voice behind I KISSED A GIRL, a "bi-curious" pop single that's rocketed to the top of the charts, and UR SO GAY, a song that relies on gay stereotyping to express what some have called the singer's "girl power."
