GLAAD Ain't Happy with Black Eyed P. Hilton

Perez HiltonPerez Hilton said he used the word "f**got" to tick off Will.I.Am -- and it worked -- but turns out the Black Eyed Pea wasn't the only one who got offended.

GLAAD -- the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation -- says they've asked P-nasty to apologize for using the highly offensive gay slur ... but have yet to hear a peep from his foul mouth.

GLAAD sent us the following 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
."

16. so the "miss California is a C*nt for not believing in gay marriage", is using derogatory words like fa*got to refer to another person? wow, way to get people to feel any sort of sympathy and have any sort of respect for your cause. this dude is more than a flaming homo. He's a nobody, a fat wannabe famous poser who starts these fights hoping he'll eventually be relevant. Sad really.

18. I thought i was the only person in America that thought Perez Hilton was completely out of line. While obviously Will.i.am needs to grow a thicker skin and deal with the criticism that comes with being a celebrity (like it or not, it's going to happen), Perez being the "gay rights activist" that he is or claims to be NEVER should have used the words that he did. Does it make it ok for him to get hit? Absolutely Not, but he went way too far!

19. Just goes to show that no one is on Hiltons side. He is a low-life who no one respects.

20. Kudos to GLAAD! It is about time somebody from the gay community spoke out and have talked against him. How dare he use that phrase? To get a reaction? That's ignorant and childish, and he does that all the time in the privacy of his own computer, but in person he can't take it.

The fact that people keep checking his blog is offensive. His site is all about copying other news, and drawing stupid things on them, he's a child, and a pissy one at best. Stay off his site, boycott his sponsors, and his long overdue 15 minutes are up.

21. perez is a nasty hateful person with no self-esteem. If he were a confident person there would be no need for him to insult/degrade and create negative rumors about others.

23. It's about time that he's been taken down a peg. He has this "I'm better than you" attitude and he feels that his word is the final word. He has been wrong so many times. Does he say he's sorry? No he digs and he digs to prove his side. Examples? He called for Carrie's head when she spoke her personal views on same sex marriage. For days on his blog all he posted was about how horrible this poor girl is. Lilly Allen calls him out on who he truly is and what does he do? post pictures of her topless. He posted very personal and private photos of a young Oscar winning screen writer. He called Adam Sandler's little girl ugly. In his worthwhile cause section. He posted about a charity that e-mailed him and asked to be removed from his website. So did he do the gracious thing? No he posted the chairman's e-mail and their direct phone number and told his readers to speak out. He is a hypocrite on so many levels. He preaches LGBT rights yet, called someone one of the worst slurs you can call someone in the intent to hurt and demean the person. He is disgusting.

Mario went to college for acting and never made it. He has used his website to create a somewhat celebrity status. He is biased because if a celebrity befriends him, then he gives them good press (ie, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, Tori Spelling) A good journalist is un-biased and states the facts as truths, not on their own personal agenda of fame and popularity. Andy Warhol is calling Mario, and he says your 15 minutes are almost up.

24. C'mon everyone saw this one coming.

25. Ummmmmmm.......isn't Perez Hilton gay? I find it ironic that he would call ANYONE a "f-got." If Perez can use that term with impunity, Carrie Prejean should get her crown back.

People who call each other "n-----" and then cry prejudice when other races do it are just as bad. Have none of you learned anything from your ancestors? Today's generation is living a pampered life. Anyone can be anything and socially, they are not allowed to be vilified for it. But they ARE allowed to fulfill their stereotypes and we're all supposed to be okay with it. Idiots like Perez prove that human nature is overruling - he can demand his "rights" when it's socially expedient, but forget alllll about them when he's pissed.

I dunno, Perez. Next time you start to call somebody a "f-got," I hope you realize catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. YOU are the "hate-filled person" that you so loudly bemoan.

26. I think Perez is the typical militant gay-right-activist who builds themselves up by putting others down. I hope when the Prop 8 vote comes up again that the 'pro traditional marriage' side uses this episode to show what gays want to legitimize as normal behavior,

27. Perez should have taken the High road when Will I am was being a jerk to him. It's a shame. BUT what happened to Perez outside was inexcusable. Both of those two should apologize to each other and the manager should be charged for assault. Period.

28. I haven't been to his website in several months. Anyone care to join me?

29. Perez Hilton in no way represents the gay community. Most gay people don't like him at all.

30. Only angry that Will.I.AM beat me to it!
