Katy Perry kissed a girl, liked it, and won over scores of gay fans as a result. But a recent tweet from the singer -- in which she posted a nude photo of what appears to be a transgender man and then mocked the person -- has her in hot water with gay activists and media watchdog Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Perry posted the pic on December 6 along with the tweet: "NSFW! I knew those little white last week of the birth control pills would still have an effect on your body! FU."

The photo, which has since been removed, featured a nude man with a beard, a hairy chest, and breasts.

GLAAD is encouraging those offended to tweet Perry.
