In the article from Rolling Stone.com Katy Perry says that the music video of "Firework" is dedicated specifically  to the "It Gets Better Project, which fights discrimination against LGBT Youth." The fact that Katy Perry had tweeted that "@PerezHilton I am officially dedicating my new video to #itgetsbetter," clearly shows the texts and artist's pro-homosexuality ideologies.

Research: idea behind the song.



In the interview Katy Perry makes a reference to the main inspiration, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road", of the song "Firework".
