Perez Hilton's latest pathetic attempt at raising his profile has blown up in his zit-scarred face. Stupid bitch thought he could pick a fight with Will.I.Am after the MuchMusic Awards (who the fuck goes to the MuchMusic Awards?) then whine himself to more media run after the inevitable physical assault...unfortunately, in the process of agitating Will.I.Am and his thug general manager, Perez resorted to shouting a certain word - "faggot" - whose use is generally frowned upon by the very same homosexual community Perez pretends to be a leader of.
And now comes the fallout from that ill-advised utterance, via GLAAD, who issued this statement:
We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story.
For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, 'The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,' is incredibly dangerous.
It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.
Memo to GLAAD and everyone else who thought Perez was sincere in his pro-gay advocacy: get a fucking clue you morons. All that faggot ever cared about was getting famous, any way, any how. He played the gay card because, let's face it, he wasn't going to be able to play the looks card, the brains card or the writing talent card.
If Perez really cares so much about gay folk, why has he spent most of his career outing people who don't want to be outed, then claiming he does it for their own good?
The spectacle Perez made of himself in the wake of the Carrie Prejean episode was the most shameful of all, his righteous indignation nothing more than an act calculated to bring even more spotlight on himself. Trust me, the fool doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself.
He will now, however, have to apologize for the faggot remark. He has backed himself into a corner on this one. Like all media egomaniacs, he finally crossed the line, and is getting the slapdown he so richly deserves.
