How does a hip, knife-wielding vixen like Katy Perry get such backwards ideas about gay people despite living in Hollywood, one of the gayest places in the entire world? We can't be certain, but we think it might have something to do with the fact that in 2001, Perry was a devout Christian releasing religious albums under her real name, Katy Hudson. Here's a lyrical sampling from Hudson's "Faith Won't Fail":

For His angels surround me
And You've poured out this blood covering
And I will walk and not fail
For time and time again my faith won't fail

Might some of Hudson's reverence for the Church – particularly its notorious unwillingness to accept alternative lifestyles – exist within Perry seven years later? Could be!

Either way, a little down home homophobia isn't enough to sate Perry's pious former fans, many of whom are pissed about the tarted-up floozy she's become. Says a YouTube commenter called rayray1808:

My very best friend turned away from jesus , she was the worship leader at my church , amazing singer , now she is goth and in a band called holophonic porno , but she will come back to jesus and so will Katy .

HA! We'll end this post there.

After the jump, "Faith Won't Fail."
