If parents parented then none of this *apola or anything else would influence kids. However, since the state & feds, and the psychiatrist feel that spanking is bad, and they do not allow parents to discipline their children as they use to then we are left with kids that tell parents what to do, and feed them full of medicine for all sorts of disorders where a good kick in the pants will do.

Although there are some parents out there that feel their kids can do no harm, and either spoil them or make excuses for them, not allowing the kid to take the responsibility. Sorry... responsible is not used today it is always the other person at fault.

As a "non-parent" I offer this suggestion: don't make a big deal about it - just discuss the song with your child and see what THEIR tske is about the song. Unless what they have to say indicates any sort of harmful thoughts or actions, LET IT GO. I think there are plenty of other things to be concerned about with our children these days.

Are you kidding me.....with the songs out there today that are so disgusting and so degrading to women, I actually loved hearing a song about someone enjoying a woman for a change, even if it was another woman!!

This is no big deal. How about that song by Mariah Carey that talks about "Touching her body" and "Rubbing her all on the floor?" I there are many songs that are rude, but why is there always a random one that gets questioned, while no one minds the other rude songs?

I bet my sisters girls (Age 7 and 10) are already singing it. Especially the 7 year old. She hears something once and forget it. At least it's not by Britney Spears! Maybe if I was a parent my views would be differnet. Now I consider this harmless..its not like she's singing "I SLEPT with a girl and I liked it". I guess I could be on the line... but forget about banning a song... kids have iPods and know how to download anything and would still listen to it if they liked it. First amendment.

I do not see anything wrong to this song. Trust me there are other songs kids today are listening to are much more degrading than this one. This song is basically talking about how she is kissing a girl for the first time. People experimenting their sexuality long before this song ever hit the air wave.

I think that's just stupid to ban that song.There are so many other "bad" songs out there. I think the only people that would have a problem with it are Homophobes....And I say one thing to them...Get over urself.

I think that most listeners will understand that this is just another of many provocative pop songs that will come and go in our lifetime but the real question is whether they'd feel the same if the video featured a different gender...

It is so frightening to me that people actually believe the media is going to influence their child to become or experiment with homo/bisexuality. It seems that our "American Morals" are becoming less about respect and appreciation of other cultures and becoming more about irrational fears and scare tactics. MAYBE instead of being paranoid about the sexuality of our children we should be more concerned with the violence, bullying, and low self-esteem that is so pervasive.

To the parents who believe the media is negatively influencing their children - you need to take a realistic step back. If you were open with them in the first place and were able to discuss relevant topics with open ears - maybe they WOULD come to talk to you. The second you condemn your child or teen without listening to their views/opinions is the moment they shut you out.

If the media is so influential on your child - more so than you - you have failed as a parent. Parents who have conversations with their children/teens and keep the lines of communication open - do not need to point the big scary finger of blame on a third party.

We live in a state where gay marriage is legal. Why are we in the backwoods about a video where girls talk about kissing girls. WHO CARES?????? this is nothing.
