Ditto: 'Perry is offensive to gay culture'

Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto has slammed Katy Perry for being "offensive to gay culture".

Speaking to Attitude, the singer admitted that she was unhappy with the content of Perry's signature track 'I Kissed A Girl'.

"[It's an] anthem for straight girls who like to turn guys on by making out or faking gay," she explained.

"I hate Katy Perry! I'm so offended. She's just riding on the backs of our culture, without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all."

Ditto is not the first celebrity to criticise the track. Last year, Pink suggested that the song "trivialised being gay" and admitted that her gay girlfriends had been "kinda put off by it".
