Katy Perry's parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, are both evangelical ministers, who run Keith Hudson Ministries and, according to their website, "travel throughout the USA and the world encouraging people through preaching and the prophetic to reach for a deeper relationship with the Lord." Katy has been vocal about her strict, religious upbringing -- her first foray into music was even a gospel album. So it's safe to say that when the pop star first kissed a girl, she may have liked it, but her parents weren't too thrilled. Katy's father has been honest about his initial concerns regarding how Katy's controversial lyrics would affect his church. "I was a little concerned, yeah, cause I thought my ministry, after 30-something years, is over," Keith said in his daughter's documentary, "Katy Perry: Part of Me." He added, "But, you know what? Never had a pr! oblem." Now Katy's parents thank their daughter for teaching them about accepting other cultures and lifestyles.
