Perez Hilton & The F Word

I really wish everyone would just quit using words like that but the fact that people find it offensive seems to me like yet another double standard. Its not like he called him the N word. I mean Perez Hilton IS gay so why is it so awful that he called someone the F word? (BTW I would have been standing with Will flipping Perez right off were I one of the posh ones) In our society if you are what the non-offensive version of the derogatory word you are using, then its sort of okay to use it. I only understand it on a primal level – don’t agree with it, but that is the societal norm – you all know what Im talking about.

I think if everyone would just eliminate words like that from their vocabulary it wouldn’t be an issue. Keeping track of who is allowed to say what is really annoying.

This is ridiculous. The fact that Hilton used the f word in such a manner shows a lack of self-respect, as well as lack of respect for the rest of the gay GLBT community. Those who hate us use the word enough-we certainly don’t need to use it as well.

Honestly, as a gay person, I feel there are multiple defination of the “F” word. In Perez’s case, I probably would’ve called Will.I.Am the same thing, because it is just a word, and a word that would piss just about any “straight” male off. The whole situation is quite stupid, and the fact that Will.I.Am felt he had to be so dramatic about Fergy being called fugly, which is true, is quite “f**ggish”. Lets use the great phrase: “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. Will needs to grow up, and let Fergie handle her own “beef”.

Sounds like they both acted like A-Holes. But I can’t help feeling that somehow Perez is the bigger butt head. If Will.i.am had called him the F-word, he would’ve been crucified by the press & all the gay rights orgs. What would have happened if Will had called Perez the N-word. Would anyone care? Would the NAACP be calling for his apology? In a way it’s all so ridiculous. They both need to grow up.

Sticks and stones can hurt me, but words can hurt longer. The body heals a lot better but not the psyche. It takes longer to heal if at all. And using bad words is NOT ok for anybody. I especially hate seeing gays and lesbians identify as “queer” as much as I hate seeing black folks identify as “n****r” or other ethnicites identifying with deragatory words. Ick ick! Humanity, and human being-ness, is too beautiful to mire itself in such nonsense!!! I really don’t care what Perez and will.i.am were fighting about because they’re still trying to figure out their own psyches. What I do find interesting is that they felt comfortable enough with each other to say these nasty words to each other. I do beleive the adage that says we only fight with people we feel safe to fight with. Follow?

Let me just say, I think Perez is a fool, I never liked him and it shames me that people see him as a voice for the LGBT community

As for the use of the “F” word, I find it highly hypocritical as he’d most likely be screaming at someone for using it against him. So he should just stop being a hypocrite and a drama queen and grow the F up. ( different word here ) XD

I SENT HILTON AN E-MAIL YESTERDAY TELLING HIM HE SHOULD WATCH HIS BIG, STUPID MOUTH. IF HE SHOT HIS MOUTH OFF AROUND ME, HE WOULD FIND HIMSELF IN INTENSIVE CARE.

Ive always thought PH was an F word, and fa**ot is not the word Im thinkin’ of…

It’s terrible a shame that so much human energy and attention is given to such immature & trivial situations, when it could be put towards so many more important issues and/or causes.

he reminds me of my (also gay) friend Mason, looks and attitude. If something doesn’t go the way he wants it, he acts like Perez.

i dont think you have the right to hit some one for being obnoxious and saying something stupid like that

I think this “man” and I use the term loosely, owes everyone an apology. I really don’t know who he thinks he is but in “reality,” he’s a nobody, wantabe.

I hate to say this, but I truly feel he got what he deserved. I’m only sorry I didn’t get to see him get his bell rung!! He should be the one who gets sued for egging on will.i.am.

And what’s this crap about using the “F” word, isn’t violence?? In the context that he used it, it is. In fact, any use of it is simply wrong. He crossed the line and once again, he’s playing the “victim” because no one will back him up. Too F**KEN BAD! He needs to grow up and act like a real person and not some Saturday Morning Cowboy, shooting up the joint with his big mouth!!

He is pushy, arrogant, mindless, tasteless and in all honesty, he aint that good looking!
I wish he’d lose the blog and get a real job!! Nuff said.

Perez Hilton is vulgar on a fairly consistent basis. He shows little respect to others, and then acts shocked when he is the target of disrespect? Sorry, no pity for this one.

Irregardless of Perez Hiltons sexual orientation, he is vulgar and has no respect for anyone. I wish he would simply go away. As an out and proud Lesbian, whenever I get a chance to talk to my straight neighbors about mutual respect for each other in issues as important as marriage, hate crimes, etc, Perez Hilton is brought up by them as if, they think all gay men must act that way. Well, since I am female, I can’t persuade them, that no, it’s not true. Perez is a disgrace with his blatant vulgarity.

Well isn’t Kathy the biggest hypocrite in lesbian history once again!! She is offended by the “F” word and yet she calls herself a dyke, calls other lesbians dykes, talks about the dyke march, dykes on bikes etc. HYPOCRITE!!!

Wow, their’s no need to be so hateful, Layla. The entire discussion surrounds the topic of mutual respect for one another, yet you insist on name-calling. Doesn’t that strike you as ironic???

cj, my point was that Kathy is offended by the word fag but not offended by the word dyke since she uses the word all the time. Why is it ok to say dyke and not ok to say fag? If you are against these homophobic words, then don’t use them at all.

Are we really OK with a gay guy getting hit in the face because he mouthed off? Should Perez really expect to get assaulted? I keep hearing that he should have expected this, even from the ladies on The View, and that he basically got what he deserved. Huh? What is this, the old west? I think we should be very careful that we don’t accidentally accept a precedent whereby it’s fine and dandy to hit gay people when they say something people don’t like, whether it’s a meaningful politcal statement or plain old trashy gossip.

I think Perez Hilton should watch his mouth and his attitude. For someone who acted in the movie ‘Gays Gone Wild’..yes, I watched it and he looked stupid in it, he should’ve have used the ‘F’ word because he is gay after all. By being gay, he should learn to respect the gay community. Using the ‘F’ word makes it look to the rest of the world that its ok to call us that. Maybr his next movie title should be called ‘Perez Gone Wild’.

Sorry I refer to my comment above – I meant that he should NOT have used the ‘F’ word..

I think Perez should apologize! Considdering what he says in his blogs, its a wonder why he didnt get clocked sooner! I have no idea what Will.I.Am said, so I cant really put him to blame. As for Perez using the F word, it is never appropriate to use because 100% of the time it is a disrespectfull term, ive found. It makes me angry how he asked GLAAD to apologize, as if they did something wrong. They where just asking him to apologize for use of the F word, right? That doesnt seem to be a problem. In my opinion, his attitude will get him into more trouble in the near future.

I am in agreement with Layla on this one, the usage of the word Dyke would be rather hypocritical if you were to make a complaint about someone else using the word “faggot” which is generally used towards men. But “dyke” or “lesbo” etc, are just as offensive to a lesbian ( at least for me it is… ) as “fag” or “faggot” is to a man.

I think we all need to stop trying to make the bigots words our own and respect each other and ourselves and not give other people excuses to use words that would offend other people, regardless of whether or not they offend you personally.

Lesbian = Okay, Gay = Okay, Homosexual = Okay

Dyke = Bad, Lesbo = Bad, Homo = bad because of its usage, Fag = Bad, Faggot = Bad, Even Queer is bad…

I dont understand why in our country it is okay if you are a black person to use the “N” word but it is offensive to use it if you are not. I am not black but I would never say that. Since I am a lesbian I hold the same theory to be true; I would never call anyone a slang hurtful term towards their sexuality. It was wrong.
