10 years later: Katy Perry's queer touchstone "I Kissed a Girl" opened the door for sexual fluidity, but not without criticism https://t.co/XOQxQeIqEvpic.twitter.com/uSAnA5n7TF

This was never the way she planned...
Katy Perry's first hit, "I Kissed A Girl," debuted 10 years ago today. Happy birthday!
At the time, the song was lauded for its open-mindedness about lesbian/bi experimentation. But it was soon criticized for seemingly being about a straight girl experimenting for her boyfriend. Plus, Katy went out of the way to say that she had never actually kissed a girl. She now says that she has kissed several.
Today, the song is still pretty controversial. Many conservatives decry its "gay agenda" but many liberals say that it is biphobic-ish.
Do you like IKAG? What will the song's legacy be in 10 more years? Have you kissed a girl?
