BWAHA. Perez is a pussy. He is like a 16 year old girl who doesn’t know how to control his emotions when something bad happens to him.
Joe
Not that I am a fan of Perez, but vile? That’s a bit harsh.
Clearly Queerty is just jealous that his site is so popular?
galefan2004
No one ever really took Perez seriously. He is just enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. Hopefully, 10 years from now, Perez will go the way of his name sake and be out on her ass.
Jake the libertarian
@Joe:
That may be… but I have been in fights before and I didn’t cry like a little girl and claim that my life was in danger because I provoked someone into hitting me (which I have done before). I mean lets have a little perspective here, the guy got punched in the eye. *GASP*. If Perez called me a “faggot”, I’d hit him in the eye too.
christy
The nasty little shite is acting as if he hasn’t been called out by GLAAD and all over the internet on his own site, but he released a statement to TMZ acting as if he’s completely blameless in the whole thing. I don’t feel the least bit of sympathy for him and I’m surprised he didn’t get his ass kicked long before now. You play with the bull you get the horns.
Captain Freedom (HRC doesn't speak for me)
@Joe: Bullshit!
Perez Hilton is an embarrassment to our community and needs to be shown the door. After the Carrie Prejean episode and the Dustin Lance Black backstabbing he should be banned from having any say on anything.
The fact that Perez Hilton exists is why I am pro-choice.
Captain Freedom (HRC doesn't speak for me)
@Jake the libertarian: BTW Joe I think you’ll be amazed how many gays are libertarian (myself included). Though I don’t ally with Ron Paul because he’s a kook from the 18th Century. I’m a 21st Century libertarian.
Jake the libertarian
@Captain Freedom (HRC doesn’t speak for me):
Always good to see another gay libertarian!
Jake the libertarian
@Captain Freedom (HRC doesn’t speak for me):
He really is such a unlikable little shit. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard and he’s pretty hard to look at. I honestly can’t think of a worse representative to his the talk show circuit after the whole Carrie Prejean thing. I mean, after 5 minutes of hearing him talk, I am not even on his side AND I”M GAY!
Is it too much to ask for a soft spoken, incredibly smart, calm and likable person to stand up and say what needs to be said (HRC won’t) in a way that persuades people (Perez can’t)?
Bob
I like Perez and he did not deserve to be hit by that bully no matter what he said. Yes, I agree that he should not have called will.i.am a “faggot. And, for a gay man to use that word is very wrong, but no body should ever be hit for words. I hope Perez sues the pants off of that piece of shit!!!!
alan brickman
New need a hot-looking blogger to do a gossip site…David are you up for it again?…Loved Jossip…
D-Sun
Baaaahahaaahahaahahaha…
His tears, they sustain me.
galefan2004
@Bob: Lets be honest. The “bully” here was Perez. Perez was screaming at this dude calling him a fagot so the dude hit him because of it. If this had been a young kid in school being called a fagot and striking out at the person calling him that we would all be cheering for the kid (rather he was gay or not). When you get in someones face and call them despicable things they ARE NOT the “bully” you are.
galefan2004
@Bob: Oh, and even better, he can’t sue him (well he can but he won’t win) because he antagonized the fight. When you antagonize a fight by assaulting someone they have the right to respond with appropriate force to get you to stop. Will.i.am is the victim here not the perpetrator.
Trueman
Vile blogger ???
Perez Hilton has 10 million readers… Queerty has nothing !!!
Queerty’s writers are morons and jealous, and total freaks !!!
christy
@galefan2004:
It wasn’t Will.i.am who hit the little crybaby creep though; it was Polo Molina the manager or bodyguard depending on what story you read. So if Hilton wants to sue for some frivolous reason he might get $1.50 for his trouble which is about all he deserves. It will get him a small coffee at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf so he won’t be taking up valuable table space when he plants his fat ass there to do his dirty work.
Jake the libertarian
@Trueman:
Well, you’ve convinced me! Nice job!
P.S. You are an idiot.
galefan2004
@Trueman: Its much easier to be popular (especially when you are blogging) if you are vile and underhanded. That is like saying because Rush Limbaugh has 10 million listeners and Anne Coulter sells a shit load of books QT must be jealous of them too.
Republican
Trueman, what does readership have to do with someone being called vile? Answer: absolutely nothing.
Perez is a horrible human being. Even people who like his blog have to admit that.
Spencer
The haters thar write (or vomit) comments against Perez on this website, are the same old pedophiles that gave us good fame to the gays in past years. So just go fornicate with the soft porn Queerty offers you on a daily basis and SHUT UP !!!!
galefan2004
@Spencer: 1) I do not hate Perez Hilton. Personally I could give a rats ass about Perez Hilton. I wouldn’t even know (or care) who the hell he was if it wasn’t for the Miss California fiasco (which he exploited for website hits) and his post of DLB photos (in their full glory, again which he exploited for hits). 2) I’ve always slept with older guys. I even prefer older guys now at age 30. I would much rather sleep with someone 35 than 18. The youngest guy I have actually ever slept with was 21 and I was 23 at the time.
Bob
@galefan2004: I respect your opinion and admit Perez was wrong in many respects. To be honest, I would be tempted to hit him too, if he called me that horrible name, but two wrongs do not make a right and hitting someone is far worse than using a terrible name. A civilized person does not resort to violence. It never solves anything (look at all the wars throughout history). Perez should be a man about this and apologize for using that word but he was still hurt, whether it was by will.i.am or Polo Molina, and these people should be held accountable for their deed.
Mike
He deserved to get punched
galefan2004
@Bob: Backing down instead of standing up for yourself is the wrong. Hitting the person is not the wrong. Hitting someone that just used a horrible name is justification. Hitting someone for no reason is a bad thing. Civilized people have resorted to violence for as long as there has been civilized people. Hell, when the whole civilization does it its called war. Let me guess, you are against cops shooting back at suspects shooting at them and the death penalty too. I support the right for all people to defend themselves (with violence) from assault and other forms of violence.
ChristopherM
Boo-fucking-hoo. Is violence the answer? Of course not. But getting up in someone’s face, screaming “faggot” at them, and then expecting sympathy when you get smacked down for it is complete idiocy, much like the content of his blog.

@Trueman: and people like to stop and stare at traffic accidents, so quantity doesn’t make one better,
Matt Deco
@ Basically Everyone:
The fact that everyone here can show hate on a simple public forum is exactly why we, as a people group, cannot accomplish anything. We should all be ashamed.
Are you a “higher class” gay if you hate all the fems and fags?
Is it honestly okay for you to spit on drag queens and bears?
No one ‘deserves’ to be punched in the face.
No one ‘deserves’ to be called names.
No one ‘deserves’ hate.
ChristopherM
@Matt Deco:
Please. This isn’t about fems, fags, drag queens, or bears. It is about one tacky talentless piece of trash writing a check with his mouth that his ass couldn’t cash. Violence isn’t justified, but if you get up in someone’s face, call them a faggot, and then cry when you get hit, you are an idiot.

Jake the libertarian
@Matt Deco:
Gonna disagree with you here. Lots of people “deserve” to get punched in the face… called names… get hated etc… Perez Hilton is one of those people.
I really don’t understand the whole “violence is never the answer” crowd. Sometimes (hopefully very rarely), violence is exactly what is called for. It can be mitigated and restrained as against poor Mario (Perez), or it can be used without restraint as against the prick police who busted up the Stonewall Inn all those years ago. To say it doesn’t have it’s place is to not live in reality. Fact is that Perez (Mario) talked too much shit to the wrong guy. He got hit in the eye for it. He’ll live.
galefan2004
@Jake the libertarian: Well said. I completely agree with you and your stance on violence.
Rikard
@Jake the libertarian: Mario is an embarassment. I’m glad to see someone else use his name and reject the entire contrived self agrandizing persona. He is such a hateful little man. I expect to see him on a Flavor of Love style show eventualy. Where he can best display his repellant personality.

@Joe: Its not about popularity, it’s about ethics..

Jeff
@Captain Freedom (HRC doesn’t speak for me):
How did he back stab Black? I mean he has the balls (which we have now all seen) to speak around the country for safe sex and tricks around with a pornstar bareback! I think his act needed to be called out, don’t get me wrong he is an astonishing writer but he is hardly the face of advocating safer-sex practices.
Lucky Luke
@Jeff:
That doesn’t make much sense, sorry. The fact he was doing bareback doesn’t make his work meaninglees nor the effect he had on people when talking about sex worthless.
more ale in my tea AKA morality (fkd up & disgusting)
he is such a pussy. he actually twitted people to call the police for him…what a douchebag.
why does this country give attention to self absorbed weakli9ngs like this? There is no logical answer except that America, as Gore Vidal said, has lost its purpose.
galefan2004
@more ale in my tea AKA morality (fkd up & disgusting): This country doesn’t give attention to these type of people for any other reason than that we LOVE to build people up to destroy them. That has been a huge trend through out the history of this country. We are currently building Mario up so we can watch him fall in the next few years. We have done the same with just about every douche bag celebrity.
marius
When I first saw his site I thought it was funny. That didn’t last long.
He is juvenile, nasty, pretentious, and anything else you can think of.
He talks about himself in the 3rd person…c’mon. That deserves a slap, not a punch.
No surprise that someone would eventually punch him in the face. That’s been a long time coming.
Cam
@Jake the libertarian: you said “Is it too much to ask for a soft spoken, incredibly smart, calm and likable person to stand up and say what needs to be said (HRC won’t) in a way that persuades people (Perez can’t)?”
________________________________________________
Well, I thought dustin Lance Black was shaping up to be that…then Perez Published all those photos of him online. So not only is he not the best representative, but he kind of torpedoes one of the people who would have been a better one.
That said, the one good thing I will say about Perez, even though I assume he would be irritating as hell to every meet in person, is that at least he is out. In that one area I have to say that I respect him more than say Anderson Cooper. Sure, he’s an irritating fame whore, but at least had the courage to come out. Ok, my one good thing to say about him is now done.
Jake the libertarian
@Cam:
I see your point, but I don’t give Anderson too much crap for not being out. I am not out in every aspect of my life… although I don’t hide or lie anymore… But it would be harder to do my work if I introduced myself as “Jake the gay guy” instead of Jake the libertarian. My point is that Anderson doesn’t go on TV and try to speak for gays. I agree he would be a wonderful representative, but he’s not and doesn’t want to be (apparently).
Perez is a horrible, sad little man with a very big mouth who gets on Larry King and uses big words incorrectly. He is a moron. Millions of people look at him and say “that’s what gay people are? I don’t want them around me either!” While I agree that Anderson should come out for the sake of our movement, I understand that he refuses to talk about his sex life and that is his decision. I would be whole heartedly in agreement with you if he was anti-gay, but he isn’t. He is just private. It’s his right to be private. I have much more respect for him than I do that terrible semi-retarded loudmouth.
GimmeABreak
Perez is as disgusting as Rupert Everett. They should become roommates on a deserted island and give the rest of the world a break.

I was so frustrated beacuse I couldn`t resolve this issue. Then I found your site in google and problem is solved. Thanks!

Really cool blog you have. Let the Force be with you or like say my friend from Khazahstan “great success”!
