90210 Star Sorry For Calling Elvis The “King Of Homos”
Awww, actor Dustin Milligan’s an absolutely contrite doll!
Milligan, whom some of you may recognize as the heartthrob Ethan on 90210, once recorded some sort of video in which he described Elvis as the “king of homos,” which obviously isn’t true. Everyone knows that’s Elton.
Anyway, Milligan’s given the joke some thought and now feels totally bad about it, so he’s written another blog apologizing to all the gays and straights and everyone in-between:
To all my readers, gay, straight, bi, still deciding: I’m truly sorry and deeply embarrassed by this. My personal views on homosexuality and bisexuality and sexuality in general are so far from the dark place where these kinds of hateful terms come from and are not at all reflected accurately by such a statement. Especially now, when same-sex marriage is such a big issue in the US, I feel the days when jokingly calling someone a “homo” or saying “that’s gay” are simply over.No one should be made to feel like they or their sexuality/lifestyle is synonymous with “stupid”, and no one should be made to feel like they are less than anyone else because of who they love. It’s almost like how, in the past, everyone used to drop the N-bomb like it was a day of the week, but now it’s totally unacceptable. I feel, hope, that down the line, it will be the same with sexually derogatory terms as well.
I hope my kids never use these hurtful words as flippantly as I have. Again, I am ashamed for having said it and to everyone out there, fans, friends, family, and the LGBT community: I’m sorry.
Apology accepted, Milligan – although we were never really offended because we had never read your blog. Still, it’s the thought that counts and all that jazz…
Puh-lease. You accepted his apology because you’d give your right arm to sleep with him. Had he been unattractive I’m sure your attitude would have been different.
Sappy apologies are gay.
Apology accepted. It sounds like it was heartfelt, sincere and well thought. ;-)
To those that have not “decided” ?
What the F is that supposed to mean?
What a LOSER!
How is it possible that I agree with Churchill-y over the rest of you? Isn’t that a sign of the apocalypse?
It sounds like it was heartfelt, sincere and well thought.
Which is proof that moron didn’t write it himself.
It sounded sincere to me. I accept his apology. But if he feels he needs some sort of punishment, I vote that he post nude pictures of himself.
Who is this jackass? Why would anyone care what he says or thinks??
I thought Liberace was the king of the homos!?
Have you all gone out and elected a new king and not informed the rest of us?
I think, if he wrote it, his apology is decent.
On a more shallow note, he’s not hard on the eyes.
Sounds like he still thinks its a choice and a lifestyle, since he used both of those words to describe a sexual orientation.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
He’s gay. Right?
Who???
What????
OK…Whatever.
Apology not accepted.
Tell me how old he was and where he was when the original statement was made then I will decide if it was sincere.
All of us were dumb kids at some point and if being up to his neck in gay men in Hollywood has taught him the error of his way I say more power to him. If this statement is just a way of kissing up to the Velvet Mafia I take comfort in knowing Hollywood chews up and spits out thousands of pretty boys like Dustin every year so he will doubtless be a has been before the age of 30.
