[Abstract]

I can see GLAAD's point.

[Ntombi]

First of all, when did Perez Hilton become a "gay hero?" :eek:

Secondly, I absolutely agree with GLAAD. The fact that Perez said that f***ot was the "worst thing he could think of to call him" speaks volumes.:(:mad:

If he were smart, he would have released a statement acknowledging that it was a horrible incident all around, and he deeply regrets that all of our society's homophobia has not escaped him, as indicated by the fact that when he was scared and intimidated, he resorted to a disgusting anti-gay slur that should never cross anyone's lips.


Instead, he attacks GLAAD for doing their job. :rolleyes: Typical.

He was the man of the hour when he was calling Ms.California all sorts of names, much to the delight of all the homosexuals on this forum...

Homosexual Delight.

Sounds like a porn.

[DiamondMac]

Who the hell would ever consider that guy to be a hero?

I mean, if HE is a hero, our society has fallen through the damn floor

Your memory is faulty. In the thread on this subject, Miss California: Gay marriage answer cost me Miss USA crown (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=689916), the evaluations of Hilton from Prejean's critics were as follows:

I'm certainly no fan of Perez Hilton, but I certainly understand why he did what he did.

Making an example of this girl will achieve nothing except give Perez Hilton more bragging rights on his determination to become a celebrity in his own right.

The argument isn't about Perez Hilton. He is not a spokesperson for all Gay and Lesbian people.

So- she's entitled to her opinion, but he isn't?

Irrespective of his orientation, I don't know why we will it fitting to have a celebrity gossip columnist as a judge of American ideals expressed in womanhood? Not that I care, because I have a cynical view of the competition to begin with. I'm just curious if anyone else thinks it odd having him on the panel?

No- he called her a bitch because she wants to take away his rights.

However, I'm not a fan of Hilton. He's kind of our Malcolm X.

And yes, Hilton has been a complete ass about the whole thing. He should be ashamed of his treatment of this woman, and the names he has called her.

Nobody has come out of this looking good. Hilton looks like a horses ass for his little poody-fit and diarrhea of the mouth;

I don't think either Hilton or Ms CA conducted themselves in a professional manner,

Remember, Hilton was the one who brought up the subject. He should have had the class to respect her answer, even if he disagreed with it.

And I believe Hilton's claim that she lost because of her answer just as much as I believe Prejean's claim. Both are publicity seekers. The scoring was posted earlier in this thread.

Sorry, reality does not support the one-sided homophobic perspective you tried to bring in to that thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=7516489&postcount=244) as well.

[Ntombi]

Gelfin, will you marry me?

[hulugu]

Gay hero?

Are you saying Perez Hitlon is a cheerful sandwich?

Also, the OP appears not to understand what a pun actually is.

[Sun Baked]

Can we put him and Tonya Harding in a boxing ring together?

How about Hilton vs. Hilton. Perez vs. Paris.

A celebrity deathmatch for real?

I'd buy that for a dollar.

[Dmac77]

This is exactly like black people being allowed to use the "n" word. No one should be allowed to say F***t.

Perez Hilton is in noway, shape, or form a gay hero. He is a horrible vile person, that enjoys outing people, and inciting unneeded tensions between gay people and straight people.

I'm glad that GLADD is turning on him.

Just like all Democrats and moderates think Obama is the messiah, amirite?

Ridiculous.

Dude, you're strange.

[jav6454]

And this matters why???? Seriously, Hilton got full of himself after the whole Ms CA debacle. Now he thinks he can be a de facto G&L spokesman? No, a true spokesman for Gs&Ls keeps his cool under any circumstance and the fact that Hilton can't (and even goes as far as saying or speaking a slur he is "fighting" against) means he should really apologize.

If that is what qualifies as a gay hero then I can't see why they would expect people to respect them or their choice.

PH is an attention ho. Getting his ass kicked is the best thing that could ever happen to him, hopefully next time someone does it right.

[opinioncircle]

Point being? Yeah, off thread, but that's fine...

Seriously, I read Hilton's blog because it's pretty funny. However he's just a blogger and no celebrity, not even remotely close from a "hero"...

To clarify, the OP's title says hero, not the article. I don't think you'll find any of us calling Perez our hero.

No one here really wants your respect anyway.

Since when did Perez Hilton become a "gay hero"? And your respect? God- don't make me laugh. I couldn't care less about your respect. You people really crack me up. And Delta- check your facts before posting threads with inflammatory titles.

But you know what? He was right about Miss California. I'll stand by him on that one.

[obeygiant]

Well it looks as if Perez is getting the attention he wanted.

What is ironic is that he got punched in the face for calling the guy a gay slur.

Then we went to twitter about it before he called the police.


No one can deny that for the shortest of moments he was a star for the same-sex marriage movement, at least until he called Prejean a "********** B**ch". Now, he's just a jerk.

[Iscariot]

Which apparently led to his loyal fans clogging up the emergency lines in Toronto, on a night on which two other people had been stabbed. And he twittered from his phone.

LOL - like I said, you get the respect you deserve. The OP made the claim, I simply stated that if that defines hero for one part of our society then that part is very poor indeed.

Oh, please don't get your panties in a wad, I never said *I* respected his type ... I love their self imposed Darwinism though :P


What Perez did by using f slur is no different than certain people using the N word.

[leekohler]

LOL - like I said, you get the respect you deserve.


And you deserve none, and won't get it here. "LOL" :rolleyes:

[patrick0brien]

Political correctness - AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!

Would have been a much more interesting conversation had the OP titled his thread more appropriately- don't you think? I'm not a fan of PC either, but Hilton is for the most part, an idiot.

Actually he called the police first but they said they couldn't come immediately. That's when he resorted to Twitter.

[patrick0brien]

-leekohler

Agreed.

At the risk of distracting the thread for a moment, I'll say this: It seems that Political Correctness has some time ago been picked up and used as a bludgeon by many (who see themselves as a target for ridicule). I don't know a single person who hasn't been subject to forms of social ridicule - myself included.

I find that those who just delt with it, are better-rounded persons, and can deal with real problems better.

Perez seems to foment the issue, then scoots behind that bludgeon. Idiot indeed.

He has always been a jerk.

He's the Al Sharpton of the gay rights movement.

[DiamondMac]

Alright, that does it

I am a hero

I demand it

[Iscariot]

That makes his behaviour even more irresponsible. Using his Internet clout to browbeat the Toronto police force on a night of two stabbings demonstrates a conscious level of inflated egotism to the (potential) detriment of society, as well as an ignorance of the (potential) consequences of his actions.

I'm not defending him, I just wanted to make it clear that he did call the police before anything else.

Let's see Perez Hilton:

Irresponsible? Check.
Conscious Level of Inflated Egotism? Check. Check.
Detriment to Society? Check.
Ignorant? Bingo.

[spillproof]

I agree with this quote form the article.
"You're right. Violence is never the answer," lucy17 wrote. "BUT words can cause more damage then being punched. Get over it."

I have heard others say it and it is how I feel also. He can't take what he dishes out. This is a pet peeve of mine. Most likely everyone tends to be a slight hypocrite at one point in their life , but Hilton takes it too far.

[suburbia]

Fox "News" is being their usual patronizing and homophobic self by calling this person a "hero". Fox would have everyone believe that such a petty person is somehow highly revered by gays is very telling of how they view gays.

He is not my hero.

Fox News is neither known for their fact-checking nor for their intelligence.

[MyDesktopBroke]

But they just added "accurate" to "fair and balanced." Surely that must stand for something??!?

I wish there was a news team known for their hats. A stylish channel who would bring back the 20's style look and feel of newsmen in the streets with trenchcoats and hard questions.

Think about it.

Fox News is neither known for their fact-checking nor for their intelligence.The same applied to the Bush White House - and to all the mainstream media who chose to accept the role of apologist for the war crimes they committed.
