Quote #1

I got so
brave,

drink in hand, lost my discretion!

Drinking is one of the main reasons why women
are seen kissing other women at parties or clubs.
It is accepted to see a woman kiss another
woman when under the influence and it is even
encouraged by both men and women. As
Marshall says in the article Lipstick Lesbians,
Theyd both kissed boys before, and they will do
so again, because neither girl considers herself a
lesbian. But after a couple of drinks, they thought
it would be fun to see how it felt to kiss each
other (Marshall 1). Drunk kissing is seen as a
norm in these environments and arent looked at

planned, not my
intention.
I got so brave, drink in hand,
lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just
wanna try you on.
I'm curious for you, caught my
attention.

[Chorus:]
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
the taste of her cherry
chapstick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind
it.

IN TODAYS SOCIETY, IT IS
OFTEN OKAY FOR A WOMAN TO
KISS ANOTHER WOMAN IN
PUBLIC, BUT WHEN THE
TABLES ARE TURNED AND ITS
MALE ON MALE, PEOPLE ARE NOT AS
ACCEPTING. IF A MALE WERE TO HAVE
COVERED I KISSED A GIRL BY KATY
PERRY AND CHANGED IT TO I KISSED A
BOY THEN IT MAY HAVE PROVOKED
CONTROVERSY. THE COVER WOULD
NOT HAVE SOLD AS MUCH COPIES
BECAUSE OUR SOCIETY IS NOT
COMFORTABLE NOR ACCEPTING TO GAY
AFFECTION. WE WANTED TO
INVESTIGATE THE IDEA THAT WOMEN
CAN BE CURIOUS TO KISS OTHER
WOMEN, BUT MEN ONLY KISS MEN
WHEN FEELINGS ARE INVOLVED.

Quote #3!
Dont mean Im in love tonight!
A woman can just be adventurous one day and kiss
another woman at a party for example. She doesnt have
to feel any real connection for the other woman, and
onlookers are okay with them being intimate. When the
gender is flipped its a different story. Many have this idea
that men only kiss men they have feelings for. Although
this may be true, it is not acceptable for males to be
intimate with one another in public.

Quote #2
I hope my boyfriend dont mind it, its
not what Im used to, just wanna try
you on
Boys are known to enjoy getting a glimpse of
girls kissing other girls. An example is when
Dan in the show Gossip Girl contently
watches his girlfriend kiss his girl best friend
in preparation for a threesome. Theyre all
intoxicated, but you can tell that there I
sexual tension between the three of them.
Dan obviously doesnt mind seeing his
girlfriend kiss another girl, but if a woman
saw her boyfriend lock lips with another
male, itd be an issue. Society is more okay
with seeing two women kissing rather than

My head gets so confused, hard to obey
!
Most gay men dont usually come out as being gay
because of the fear of being looked down upon or talked
badly about. More and more people are openly gay now a
days, but many of the men were beyond frightened to
even say a word about it, and although women also had a
difficult time, the men were still talked about more
harshly. As Miller, Loehr, and Doan state in Formal Rights
and Informal Privileges for Same-Sex Couples, Similarly,
qualitative studies reveal that lesbians and gays are
denied public visibility and recognition through others
rejection of their public displays of affection, which is
why men dont freely show affection to their male
companion (Doan, Loehr, and Miller 1175). In the show
Glee where Kurt who is openly gay, confront a jock who
constantly bullies him. When he confront him the jock
kisses him and Kurt is in complete shock. The jock bullies
Kurt to hide his true sexual identity.

QUOTE #6!

I hope my boyfriend dont mind it

Although we used this quote before, theres another connotation to this
specific quote. In the video we show the episode in Gossip Girl where Blair
watches her boyfriend kiss another guy. Blair had planned the kiss but she was
stick in shock. If it were flipped, the reaction might have not been as bad as
hers because as often seen, women kissing other women is more accepted
then males kissing other males.
