…and another thing.West Hollywood is packed with gay,star wannabes.Jackie Beat writes a rant in the back pages of FRONTIERS,every issue.He uses the taboo gay slur words freely,and nobody is trying to censor him.Queen’s like Alexis Arquette,and ChiChi LaRue,
hitched their wagons to a star,and have created careers out of promoting them-
selves.They use the forbidden words all the time,and nobody is subjecting them to an Inquisition.So Perez Hilton craves
attention and strives for star status,
he’s just one of many.
Instead of persecuting Perez Hilton for standing up for himself and using words as a weapon,shouldn’t GLAAD be supporting his right to FREE SPEECH?
How many descriptive,gay,slur words do you imagine the Warrior Queens at the battle of STONEWALL used against our
violent oppressors?
Quit hate-in’Perez Hilton for having the courage to be who he is…even though we might not agree or care for his methods.

Wow…all this negativity towards Perez Hilton.Personally,I don’t follow his blogs or website.But…doesn’t he have the right to express himself in whatever manner he chooses? The Gay Community OWNS the words,Fag,Queer,Fairy,Sissy and ALL the derogatory slang used in an attempt to humiliate us and put us “In Our Place”.
Sometimes,words are used as weapons…
and Perez Hilton fired off a couple of rounds,that’s all.
Does the Gay Community really want an organization like GLAAD issuing dogma about what we can say and not say?
FREEDOM of SPEECH…just one of the basic Rights the Gay Community should be striving to maintain.
Do I condone Perez Hilton’s use of that word as a weapon? No.But as they say,I will defend his right to say it.

It’s never o’kay to use any kind of racial, political,or group associated slur, it’s obviously a publicity stunt . He’s a rich spoiled brat like Spencer & Heidi Pratt they were total @$$holes on that show I’m a Celebrity get me out of here . Hollywood isn’t “glamourous” anymore . They’re all a bunch of spoiled brats getting away with anything they want to , for example Chris Brown if it were one of us who went postal and did bodily harm to anybody we would have been thrown in jail 2ice the term case closed .

Perez Hilton is a total disgrace to our community and unfortunately people like him is EXACTLY why we have not gotten equal rights. He says he is not a spokesman for the gay community and God knows I wish that was true. He unfortunately has become a face for the gay movement and he is single handedly bringing all of our hard work down with him. He is a loathing immature media whore who’s only goal is to self promote what is good for HIM only. Now he is sending out a “IM SORRY” letter to everyone!! OH PLEASE! Buddy you have so much to apologize for what you have done to the gay movement its going to take years for us to try to FIX the damage you have caused. PLEASE JUST GO AWAY!! Or at least grow up and start acting like an adult! I never use the F word and I try Never to use the hate word but (I HATE perez hilton) and everything he has done to hurt the equal rights movement

He’s a total freak. Why anybody gives a rat’s “behind” about him is beyond comprehension.

I think Perez hilton should apologize for saying that it’s a matter of having respect for every person that he offends when you open your mouth you should think before you do remember a child is listening !!!

Somebody needs to lock up Perez Hilton for mental reasons. First, he uses a fake name, secondly he ambushes a beauty queen with a stupid question when nobody even cares, and lastly, he uses profane and antigay language at someone who was only making a request. Sounds like a mental case to me! Perez, if you are reading this, do us all a favor and shut the hell up!
