UK sensation Little Boots defends her sexuality after kissing a female friend

Agreed, this business of kissing other women and brushing it off like it meant nothing 'cause "I was drunk" is getting pretty old. And it stays *really* lame.

Trish, that last line killed me. Too funny! And so true.

That's exactly why I hate that song.

Lol, i don't get that urge either, but i do have a very gay friend who kisses dudes as a sign of friendship when she's trashed; she is slightly worried by this fact when she is told about it the next day, it's pretty hilarious :-)

Talking to straight people doesn't have to be an awkward bore

Anymore...

Hmm interesting take. I'm a bit torn. I get why you're annoyed by this, what with faux-lesbianism being the hottest pick-up tool for straight girls these days. 

But I've to admit that she is in no way giving lesbians or bisexuals a bad name. She even supports us: "great for all the people that are".

She had fun, she doesn't pretend to be someone she's not, and she's not homophobic - in fact she shows respect for queers. 

The only people she's giving a bad name are straight girls. She's just a promiscuous straight girl. A little tacky, yes, but so are the rediculously short skirs that girls wear to clubs these days - then again, we can't really expect everyone to have manners haha. Not my thing, but whatever's her thing is her thing. I say, let her be.

I hate katy's song for the same reason that you do. Im just tired of being pointed like someone that kiss other girls just for fun.. or being drunk. But, can we do something? (i'm not saying that we can't, just asking) I mean, Katy's saying that its o.k to kiss a girl in a party, you was just trying and there's a whole bunch of other songs and mass media saying the same and in the collective mind, it creates a misconception of lesbianism .  . don't you think?

Don't you just love the "I was drunk" excuse? It happens so often, apparently, that alcohol suddenly gives women's lesbian gene a little push to the forefront, urging even the straightest of women to make out with their friends. ----> HILARIOUS.

Glad to hear she didnt run away screaming 'im not gay im not gay im not gay' and stood up for us. But thats what everybody should do, so I dont want to applaud her for being a decent human.

The idea of Florence kissing girls does make me pretty excited though...

To every feminist action, there is an equal and opposite reaction- Naomi Wolf

I'm not going to jump on the boat to hate miss little boots for kissing a girl. Who are we to say who kisses who, or what the act of a kiss means to a person? So she kissed a girl and she isn't bisexual. Have you really NEVER met a gay guy who makes out with his gril friends when they are wasted? Because I have. Dozens upon dozens of them. It's not my thing, I don't kiss guys when Im drunk, but Im not about to hate two consenting adult women having what seems to be a passion-less, short kiss on their own time. Especially a gay friendly woman like Hesketh, who is scheduled to play at Manchester, UKs pride in August. How many popular female artists do you know these days volunteering at your local pride?

...yet, kissing another girl CAN be one.

Sorry, but it does exist. I don't think someone has to be called "bisexual" because once they kissed another boy or girl.

There are situations that lead to others and that's that.

Just sayin'.

umm... "I was drunk" is a very valid excuse for kissing a mate. I do it quite often (and all my mates are guys). It just seems like a fun at the time.

 Plus, it's not like she wrote a super insensitive song about it....

I'm not interested in Little Boots but LOVE Florence and the Machine.  Please keep us updated if Florence is bi or whatever.

check them out:  

im like in love with both of them OMG HAHA

I LOVE FLORENCES NEW SONG ITSSSSS SOOO GOOD!!!

and little boots is just a hottie!!!!

haha 

Like a lot of people on here have said, I don't think it's such a big deal when two drunk friends kiss each other, no matter what their gender or sexualities are. So, cameras happened to be there, and the media loves to make a big deal out of things like this.

What is a big deal is when Katy Perry totally exploits it, making it seem like a big deal and like she's so badass for doing it. Little Boots isn't exploiting it.

i have no doubt that theyre both straight, but damn, a girl can dream.  two of my fave singers in a goofy drunken lip lock? it's not the ideal situation, but im glad florence has such poise about the matter. and honestly, im sort of glad that Victoria isnt playing the girl who cried bisexual; it's unfortunate, yes, but id rather have her be honest and admit it was some drunken fun verses all the women claiming to be bi for attention.

gonna go listen to these girlies now. maybe theyll do a duet!

With Florence????
Wow!

"I was not kissing back," she said. "As much as I love Florence, not in that way. She is crazy, in the best possible way."

Little Boots also told the paper she "was drunk and shocked out of [her] skin" and that "Lots of singers are saying they're bisexual these days. I'm definitely not in that camp. But great for all the people that are."

Well there you go. She's not claiming to be gay or bi or whatever so what's the problem? Where is this faux lez mess coming from?

Whether it's Katy Perry (who writes fun party songs), NOFX (whose accused of being homophobic despite always being gay allies), Eminem (never should have been taken seriously anyways) and now  Little Boots... why be so overly sensitive to musicians?

It's seems if straight musicians even mention gays theres always someone who gets their panties in a bunch. Learn to laugh/not take everything so seriously people :)

just a bit of harmless fun, why label her as faux-lez when she's clearly stating that she was caught off guard and 'definitely not in the camp'?

anyhow, speaking of fun, i'll be seeing florence and the machine at the lovebox festival in july. woohoo.

Do you remember what Elle MacPherson told Cate Capshaw in "A girl thing"? after admitting she was actracted to her while they were drinking a Martini cocktail?

"Do you think alcoholism is directly related with lesbianism?" and the answer was "Maybe!".

Maybe we all should go to rehab and become straight?

Arent we equally to blame with this morbid curiosity of celebrities ? I frankly dont care what she does with her love life or who she kisses.  Its true if she was kissing a guy no one would be talking about this. I think by directing attention to it, we are separating ourselves from straight people.

These types of drunken antics are something I dont care to see from anyone - regardless of their sexuality. Its a major reason I dont go to the clubs anymore. I'll stick to a low key neighborhood pub that is filled with witty conversation.

Stop hating on Katy Perry. She doesn't have to be homosexual to sing about kissing a girl. A lot of women kiss girls who are bisexual, curious, or just fluid -- and to constantly pick on a WOMAN, honestly just because she's a woman that doesn't fit your perfect little world of homosexuality doesn't make it a bad song. It seems that women constantly have to pick on each other and bring each other down. Instead of just saying, "hey, I'm glad she's a successful woman," that brought light to a situation many women get involved in.

I've taken psych and woman's study classes and it's way too stereotypical of women going after a successful woman artist -- for what? A song you didn't like? How about instead, go write about all the male singers that have degrading lyrics about women and talking about women like, "b*tches, whores, objects," etc... There's plenty of those songs and male artist. Hear about them anywhere or often? No. But of course, we're subjected to women forever having something negative to say about other women. I'm tired of it...

Oh and this artist can kiss whomever she likes and she doesn't have to be homosexual to kiss a friend. I kissed a gay guy friend of mine while playing spin the bottle... Does that make us both straight? No.

I don't see the problem with girls kissing girls when they're drunk if they're not trying to say they're bisexual. People do get more touchy when they're drunk. I remember years ago accidently properly kissing a guy goodbye when I was drunk because my friend was kissing the guy she had been talking to as we left and so it just seemed like a normal goodbye kiss until after when I was like, hmm. Usually its a hug (I mean it wasn't unusual and I'm sure he kissed me cus he liked me but for me it was to say goodbye.. as in not a sexual way really and thus I can see why if you're having fun with friends hugging might not seem touchy enough and kissing might happen.)

I mean that was only the once but anyways.. And plus she wasn't even kissing back apparently. I don't think its fair that she came up on your faux-gay radar if that's what yuou were saying.. If no girls were gay then I think drunk girls would still snog girls so although it can sometimes be negative its not really the same as being faux-gay

and I don't think she 'defended' it in a defensive way if you see what I mean

but anyways, I don't mean that in a bad way concerning the article.

Brodie:  "I'm not saying I think less of Little Boots, or Florence, for that matter, but I don't get drunk and get the urge to kiss dudes. Just sayin'."<<<<<LOVE IT QUOTE OF THE YEAR lol xx

mostly im just stuck on her stage name, rather then her drunken makeouts.. Crazy emperor Caligula was called "little boots" when he was a little boy. makes me wonder what about Caligula she identifies with?

*show me love*

"I'm such a lesbian..."

lolz. She once tried to snog my friend!
