Celebrity Feuds
GLAAD Ain't Happy with Black Eyed P. Hilton

Posted Jun 22nd 2009 9:00PM by TMZ Staff

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."

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

32. I was kinda okay with the whole thing until at the last second he yells into the camera about Fergie being a fugly bitch. Perhaps he should have sobered up before making the sad me tape. Typical loser move, picking on a person you didn't really have much of a beef with. Fergie didn't hit him. Nobody really knows who hit him except the person that made contact. And now, I congratulate that person, whoever it is, even though violence is never right, Perez had to be taken down a notch. His head was grossly bloated with his own self importance. This may help to make people stop wasting time on his site. I know I'm through with it.

33. What goes around comes around. And good for GLAAD. Perez' actions (and words) are a huge setback for the community! And if any more celebrities would stand up for themselves the way Will.I.Am did, we can finally shut this guy up!

34. Perez should go some where and die. He's a useless human being and isn't contributing anything to the world but grief.

Start punching bloggers in the face. This culture of staying a centimeter outside of some ones personal space and saying "I didn't touch you" is the downfall of this country and it's principles. The laws need to start protecting individual space and privacy better. Perez Hilton is a culture leech.

35. While I applaud GLAAD, I'd like to ask where have you been for the last 5 years? That's how long this guy has been calling people faggots on his website, so it seems like you're a little late.

36. This is a good first step from GLAAD, as I see it, but it seems tepid. "Asking" him is quite polite, I think. Wouldn't they be a bit more demanding if someone from another community did this? Perez needs a serious time-out and some serious counseling. He has injected f---ing f----t into the vernacular and against a 'thug' at that. Who would ever think to call Will that? Perez has been caught using hate speech and should get a tougher response from GLAAD. Pretend some conservative pundit did that--that is the kind of response there should be.

38.

This makes no sense. Perez was actually an employee at GLAAD years ago- what a loser he is- hypocrit

39. So let me get this straight. All this started because the Peas didn't like what Perez was writing about them on his site? Who cares! Grow up!!! Who really cares what Perez has to say about their music (if you can call it that) or anything else for that matter?!

40. He is the definition of hypocrite. After the stupidity of the Ms. California thing he does this? Get over it, Perez. You got exactly what you deserved. Actually judging buy how good he looked in the retarded video he made, he got off light.

The most pathetic part about this whole thing is that he is now censoring what gets posted on his site. Notice that, for once, most of the posts are in support of Perez? Hmmm. Funny how that works.

He will learn that saying "violence is not the answer" is not a shield for spewing garbage out of his mouth. Oh an hopefully he will also learn how to call 911. I still can't believe the dumb ass tweeted for get help from police.

41. This bully needed a wake up smack. Right now, Jennifer Aniston, Lily Allen, Rumer Willis, Alexa Ray Joel, Fergie, Carrie Prejean, and the children, Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Lourdes, and Adam Sandler's baby girl are all laughing. Im sure Dita Von Teese and Lady Gag Gag send their condolences however. Thank you to all those who had a part in this today. I have not stopped smiling, all day long.:)

44. I for one am GLAAD (haha get it) that they noticed what came out of that fat pigs mouth. Will he apologize, probably but he will grandstand it and make it seem like it was a slip and he was drunk and blah blah blah. Whatever he is in NO way a rolemodel for gay rights, they should blacklist his fat ass!

he desereved it, Made my day really.

TEAM WILL.I.AM!!!!!!!!!!!!

45. Good to call him on it GLAAD but where have you been for the last 5 years when he's been spreading his hate language and calling people f--gg-ts. Why now? Why haven't you spoke up before this?
