caption_attribution_description: English: Performance by Katy Perry for the song "Ur So Gay" in her world tour California Dreams Tour.
context_page_description: "Ur So Gay" is a song released by American singer Katy Perry from her EP of the same name. She co-wrote the song with its producer Greg Wells while Drew Pearson served as the track's engineer. It was later included on her album One of the Boys. Capitol Records offered the song as a free download on their website.
context_section_description: The song's lyrics have been described in a positive review as "eighteen different kinds of wrong". The song itself has been described as an "emo-bashing anthem that's either horribly homophobic, a sly piece of social commentary or, possibly, both." The Tampa Bay Times wrote that the "boyfriend-skewering..... isn't homophobic, but it does pummel straight guys who can't handle her edge."
  Some critics, however, conclude the song is homophobic. Ugo.com says the song settles for "catchphrase-homophobia" while AllMusic describes the lyrics as "gay-baiting".
