Perry's mother slams 'I Kissed A Girl'

Katy Perry's mother has condemned the star's hit single 'I Kissed A Girl', claiming that its message is "shameful and disgusting".

Mary Hudson, an evangelical Christian preacher, has accused her daughter of promoting homosexuality with the track's lyrics, which include: "I kissed a girl and I liked it / The taste of her cherry chapstick."

"I hate the song. It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting," Hudson claimed.

"Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family and she knows how disappointed her father and I are. I can't even listen to that song. The first time I heard it I was in total shock. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray."

Despite her strong feelings on the matter, Hudson has vowed to stand by her daughter and pray for her salvation.

"Katy is our daughter and we love her but we strongly disagree with how she is conducting herself at the moment," she explained. "We cannot cut her out of our lives as she is our child but she knows we disagree strongly with what she is doing and the message she is promoting regarding homosexuality which the Bible clearly states is a sin.

"But the Bible also promotes understanding and forgiveness, which I keep reminding myself."

Perry recently confirmed that she is pleased with the controversy surrounding the track.
