Katy Perry lyrics used to publicly condemn lesbians
”It’s not something that is really a shock if you’re a scriptural person. We meant that as a loving warning to teens. … The Scriptures tell us that you should not do what the song tells you to do. The Scriptures are not ambiguous on this issue.”
Rev. Dave Allison, pastor of the 100-member church at Havens Corner Church that features a roadside “Welcome” sign that reads, “I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT THEN I WENT TO HELL.” (Columbus Dispatch)
