Perez Hilton has taken a break from claiming to be a bullying victim and whining about being single to try to breathe life into a scandal he’s uncovered on social media. 25-year-old British diver Tom Daley kissed a 16-year-old TikTok star on the lips.
A few relevant details: The age of consent in the UK is 16. The TikTok-er, howerver, is an American, where the age of consent ranges from 16-18 depending on the state. And the kiss allegedly took place in China, where the age of consent is somehow 14.
Hilton also claims the boy may have been 15 at the time, and that he may have been drinking.
The gossip blogger says he’s contacted lawyers about what to do with the video, hoping to spark an investigation. It sounds like a weak argument, though we’re guessing Hilton’s main goal is to attract as many eyeballs as possible.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Morally speaking, most people agree that a 25-year-old should not be kissing a 16-year-old under any circumstances.
And people have not been shy to express their opinions on Twitter:
This is @TomDaley1994 who is a 25 year old married man with a child kissing a 16 possiply 15 year old drunk kid at a hotel party. There are literally people defending this fuckery #tomdaley pic.twitter.com/LUXql4ehda

you’re really fucking gross if you’re defending tom daley, a 25 year old, making out with a 16 year old just because “haha every gay gets with older men when they’re that age ?” like how do you not see that that’s an issue
— trevor (@seashellbabe) April 22, 2020
I haven’t seen any evidence related to what tom daley is being accused of, but the age of consent in the UK is 16…. So I don’t think any laws were broken, and calling him a pdphile is slanderous because pdphiles prey on prepubescent children…
— Boytoy-19 (@khairlines) April 22, 2020
yes the age of consent in the UK is 16 BUT tom daley is a GROWN MARRIED MAN with a CHILD
— ?? ?????? ??? ?? (@lumibby) April 22, 2020
a 16yo is a 16 whether in the US, UK, JPN, or wherever else. their geography should not imply their level of maturity to older members of the community, esp high ranking ones like tom daley.
— LÁ basurero (@AronJBrennan) April 23, 2020
The Tom Daley thing confuses me as in the UK, consent is 16, the Tik Tok star is 16 and consented. We’ll ignore the fact Tom is married because we knew his marriage was probably open when those nudes leaked… pic.twitter.com/5Gm4qkjXXQ
— Leigh Van Bryan (@LeighBryan) April 23, 2020
the mental difference between a fucking 16 year old and a 25 year old man are insane. a kid CANNOT consent and tom daley is a popular celebrity so he’s already in a position of authority and can coerce anyone he wants. he’s a KID in highschool, tom is an adult point black period
— jary ? (@ohheyitsjary) April 23, 2020
When I was 16 I would have kissed a cactus, if I had Tom Daley…the only felony here seems to be a 16yo boy drinking alchool, which is his own fault. It seems you are only using this to make views sulling gay men. There is no sexual offence, 16yo boys are not kids anymore…

Probably ‘leaked’ because he’s lost a few promo deals and feels he needs to get a bit more exposure. Bloody fool.

my thought exactly. seems someone’s trying desperately to be relevant and avoid being ignored. perez is a pitiful little puke.

That’s hardly a kiss
Gandalf The Grey
Italy the age of consent is 14. In the U.K. it’s 16. In many states in the U.S. it’s 16. While I have no interest in anyone nearly that young when I lost my virginity I was 13 to an adult man and wouldn’t report it because I was fully consenting. To be honest I would much rather of had the experience with someone my own age. But back then I didn’t dare expose myself at my school because the repercussions would have been even more violent than I was already experiencing as someone who was suspected of being gay.
jayceecook
Actually it’s not that cut and dry in the states. Even in states where the AOC is 16 there are stipulations. There is the Limited by age and the Limited by relationship stipulations. Some states also have what is usually referred to as the Romeo and Juliet law. Also if the couple are married, which can happen when the parents give consent in some states, then the AOC laws are void. And the AOC is not always the same for heterosexual or homosexual. It’s actually quite confusing. There should be a federal set of AOC laws. I mean even in the same states different jurisdictions follow different procedures.
Chrisk
@jayceecook
Good point. These laws were not set up for say some guy in his 50s so they can go and bang 15 yo’s. When you get down to those ages there are rules. Say within 5 years and/or not be in a position of authority.
jayceecook
@Chrisk Exactly. It can get confusing because in some states a 14 or 15 year old can legally consent to sex with a 17 or 18 year old but in another that could be illegal. Not to mention that it unfairly targets queer men where the AOC is often higher. A lot of states have nothing on lesbians so they have to, in a sense, fly by the seat of their pants. I know a lot of people don’t like big government but always going by the “leave it to the states” argument is a double edged sword that often creates more disparities than it solves.
Gandalf The Grey
Actually ChrisK, that’s exactly why they were written. Do you want to know the age of heterosexual consent in Kentucky remains 13 for girls, who were expected to very often marry much older men, was the age of marriage originally. The fact that it has never been changed shows you what the Kentucky State Legislature is up to on the Downlow, just in case any of them get caught.
jayceecook
That isn’t the age of consent in Kentucky anymore. In 2018 a new law was passed making it 16 for everybody. Though I get where you were trying to come from.
Itsonlythetruth
Doesn’t matter that you “consented” at 13, the law says you were too young to give that consent. What you described is statutory rape.
natriley
That was the rule in the 1950s, we all searched for grown men because they wouldn’t our friends we were gay.
rocknstan
The crime here is that narcissism has won the day, and tongues are wagging over an insignificant incident that was formulated to attract viewers.
Jared MacBride
Since the desperate and half-crazy Hilton is involved it might be best not to leap to conclusions. As for the age difference, well I’m sure Tom’s husband would approve.
rocknstan
Good point.
And a fellow gay movie-maker–B.S.–would, too. Good point.
Chrisk
Ha. Looks like Dustin isn’t the only one that likes em young.
Personally I’ve always had a hands off policy for anyone under 18. I don’t need a law to tell me it’s wrong.
barryaksarben
I picked up a young guy in a bar in Omaha when I was 23 he said he was 18 and was in a bar that carded seriously carded. Saw him just the once until 20 years later when I returned to Omaha from LA and met him again at a party and he told me that at the time he was only15 and I had popped hi cherry, It was a big shock because I had been careful to never break those or any laws and ususally liked them older than me but he was smartt and funny and oh so damned cute . SO I did break the law. HE was fantastic in bed however . I do think depending on the situation it can be ok , I knew I was gay at 11 and was in terrible farm country Iowa just miserable because I knew not on more person and if one had shown up fro 9 to 90 interseted I would have given myself tot them for any affection I could find
Chrisk
Kids will be kids but if you or decide they’re so damn cute you can’t help yourself then I hope you get whats coming to you. There is never an ok time to f*ck kids. Be the adult.

I remember back when his site was more popular, Hilton would get pissed about some celeb or another that wouldn’t give him the time of day and would set out on a campaign to really torture them. He went after Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, and I think Lady Gaga even took out a restraining order or something.
Maybe Tom didn’t return the guys calls.
That said, if this happened in China apparently no age of consent laws were broken, but it is creepy AF and Tom is a dick for cheating.
Jared MacBride
Even what Hilton said is true, which is doubtful, you don’t know he’s “cheating.” You don’t know what his arrangement with his husband is. Stop being so judgmental and Puritanical.
Gandalf The Grey
Assuming that Dustin and Tom don’t have an understanding regarding these things.
MaxH
From I think they do have an open relationship, that or Dustin is exceptionally forgiving. But to be honest, I could imagine Dustin is one of those gays who thinks love isn’t expressed through sex but spiritual connection.

Well, from the looks of things, you do. At least enough to read the article and post in the comments section.

Whatever your moral views, what he did wasn’t illegal so there’s not really anything to get so worked up about.
Also – he’s not American and they weren’t in the US so not sure why so many people keep referring to laws in the US?
jayceecook
Because the 15 year old is from the US. So they are arguing that since he was from the US, our AOC laws should be applied. But I’m not sure that’s how international law works.
MaxH
It doesn’t, US law only applies in the US, even in regard to international cases that involve US citizens.
jayceecook
@MaxH That’s not true. The PROTECT Act of 2003 stipulated that US citizens have to follow the AOC laws of America regardless of what they are in the country in which they are visiting.
jjose712
jayceecook: 16 dear, the guy has 16 not 15. That’s what Hilton speculated when he watched that his outrage didn’t work, but the guy is 16.
And i repeat, there’s nothing sexual in that video, oly a peck
jayceecook
@jjose712 Well dear, Perez changed his story. The guy is 15 in the supposed video not 16 like he originally said. In the eyes of the law it doesn’t matter what the person’s age is now but when the alleged act took place.
And if you’ve seen the video and/or know the identity of the lad in question why don’t you help us all out?

So? Tom Daley is neither a citizen nor resident of the US so none of that applies. If you want to arrest the teenager, then go ahead. But first tell me how A KISS falls under AOC laws.
jlogb
Clearly a desperate move by Hilton…. what a scumbag. I get the hunger for salacious gossip is out there, sadly, but this smells like attention-seeking-moron-clickbate desperation. Such a John David…. wasnt even a real kiss.
maxlovesrio
Nothing to see here folks. Let’s move it along.
SinthiaDoom
I keep seeing comments about being a pedo, sleep with/having sex, his being married, none of these things have to do with kissing for crying out loud. The age of consent varies greatly (which is as silly as other age rules ie: drinking vs voting vs service in the military). So I say keep ya judgemental issues to yourself, it was a kiss for crying out loud!!!
NJCHIP
To everyone who is so up in arms saying “Tom Daley kisses an underage boy”. Let’s look at a few things
So First we have a picture but no Video (or non that I have seen).
second In the picture (supposedly of the video) you can clearly see that the young man has his hands on Tom’s Face/neck, while Tom’s are barely touching the guy’s waist.
Third, so who is to say that the young man isn’t the one who initiated it all and pulled Tom in for a kiss? And who is to say Tom wasn’t caught off guard??
And Fourth. We have no clue to what kind of “Kiss” it was, Was it a peck on the lips, or lips just pressed together, or was their tongue involved??
So Wherever it took place, the age of consent for this young man’s residents is 16, and it was a Kiss, it wasn’t a sexual act, Because if you are all going to get up in arms about a kiss, then I am assuming non of you have ever once in your life given a kiss (hello or goodbye included) to someone under age 18, even if they were a relative or not, Because if you did then your just as guilty as what you are claiming Tom Daley of.
So before we start criticizing someone for something that the supposedly did, Let’s make sure we all have the facts and no skeletons in our own closets first!
Thanks. And stay safe everyone??
CaptF
Well said.
joshcatchur
The video is viewable on Twitter. Tom basically stands still with his hands out. The boy steps in, holds Tom’s neck then presses his lips to Tom’s for what is obviously 5 seconds, then steps back and says something, then they both turn and look at the camera/phone. Both of them very obviously press their own lips flat/closed before the kiss occurs. Neither moves their heads or lips during. It’s one of the coldest kisses I’ve ever seen. It was like they were doing a dare or something. It’s a lot of stink about nothing. It’s not sexual at all. It comes off as awkward and as if they’re in a public space or something. Just odd that people are fired up about it.
sonic_source
“I can’t figure out why nobody wants to date you either, Perez” said nobody, EVER.
jayceecook
What’s really funny is that Perez keeps changing the story. The age, location, etc. No wonder he hasn’t provided the receipts like he said he would. Probably never will and claim he doesn’t want to get flagged for doing something possibly illegal.
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Two things come to my mind instantly. First, that is the oldest looking fifteen/sixteen year old I have seen and second if this is true why isn’t Daley under arrest. If I’m not mistaken Mike Tyson or some other black celebrity around ten years or so ago punched this queen because he couldn’t understand what “get the F out of my face” meant and paid the price. Why anything this washed up crackhead has to say makes it on sites even as low key as this or Slate is beyond me but some how he does. Personally I would have preferred a Davey Wavey video if the day is going THAT slow. Hilton is the only man alive whose face makes one prefer to look at dirty toilet paper from a poor soul with diarrhea.

2.75 Million infected, 194,000 dead. No cure, no vaccine. 26 Million jobless in the US [sorry I couldn’t find figures for the impact on the world, but surely in the 100’s of millions of jobs lost]. Countries under lock-down, people suffering, rampant despair and misery and worst of all, people not having any hope. Healthcare professionals battling sickness without adequate protective equipment, the same for our First Responders. People working in food production, distribution and retail also working without proper safeguards. Here in the US our Federal Governments lies to us ‘it’s under control’, ‘it’s just going to go away’, ‘we’re gonna look at sunshine and people injecting disinfectants as a cure’.
And here people freak out about a Kiss?
FOCUS people. FOCUS on what is IMPORTANT.

Crystix
Lighten up. The world is tragic outside and we’re not even allowed to leave our house. If you can’t enjoy a little gossip and something lighthearted without getting your panties in a twist, head on over to 4chan or some alt-right sight and preach to people who actually need to understand the dire circumstances outside.
The rest of us are just trying to cope with some light reading and not go crazy from the utter bullshit the world is right now.
HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE
WSnyder
Crystix – First off, it would be ‘alt-right site’ not ‘sight’ and you should’ve known that regardless of ‘Perspective’. Secondly, you might want to own up to the fact that nothing I wrote was wrong, and despite admitting that there is a devastating tragedy unfolding in the world, you take the side of defending an irrelevant and ridiculous story of a Kiss and refer to it as ‘a little gossip and something lighthearted’. Then you end with, and this is just so rich and laughable, that I needed some PERSPECTIVE? Do you even understand that word? Apparently not. “The greatest tragedy for any human being is going through their entire lives believing the only perspective that matters is their own. – Doug Baldwin” We all could use a good laugh in these times, to that we can agree. So please, keep writing.

Let’s all move on to more important things happening in the world . Leave this unimportant nonsense to those few without lives who make this S**T the most important events in their days.
jjose712
Hilton is a hasbeen and he is scum.
When i heard about the video i thought it was ridiculous the calling of authorities were it was obvious there was no crime (16 is maybe not ethical but legal), but when i watched the video i thought it was the most absurd thing ever.
It looks like a joke, something even two straight guys will do, there’s no passion, there’s nothing sexual, and there’s clearly an audience.
Hilton should be sued for this
ShiningSex
It’s still gross.
D P
Okay, if it was with tongue, and for extended time, then that might be questionable, but a kiss? No. Does anyone here remember some case that was brought before a judge because law enforcement was trying to prosecute some man for kissing his infant son on the testicles, before a group of people at some kind of party? That was a custom based on that family’s cultural background. After finding out about the full context of the act, the judge released the man, citing that it was frivolous and misunderstood. Is that what’s happening here? Much as I appreciate Perez Hilton advocating (when he does) for the LGBT community, I can’t help but wonder how much of this is sensationalism for the sake of sales and/or web traffic?
ShiningSex
Doesn’t matter if it’s legal in the UK, it’s gross.
He should be ashamed of himself and those that approve. It’s illegal here in the states and you know that’s a pedo move.
Gandalf The Grey
It’s illegal depending on what state you’re in. Get over it!
iminheatlikeacat
So what if it’s illegal in the US? It didn’t take place there and Tom Daley isn’t an American citizen or resident in the states. Or are you suggesting that American law overrides international law?
I know an American in London, he’s 19 now but moved there a year ago. He got (shock horror) completely wasted in a bar from drinking too much alcohol on one of his first nights there and fell over outside and cut his head open on the pavement. Do you think the barman/bar owner/mayor of London/city of London/Boris Johnson should be “ashamed of themselves” and held to account because people followed the law of the land?
LumpyPillows
Another hatchet job. You all need to find something better to talk about, you bunch of pearl-clutching, know-it-all prudes.
ShiningSex
It’s gross though. A 16 year old? Really? If someone doesn’t find that disturbing then you’re probably need to look at yourself and what you are “INTO”.
LumpyPillows
Seriously, Prudence, you need to get a life. I’m confident the 16 year old is ecstatic and it is none of your moralistic business.
ShiningSex
Tom is not cute either. He’s boring as f*ck

I think the only thing everyone can agree on is that Perez Hilton is still a lowly putrescent excuse for a human being, inside and out.
justyouandi
I don’t see a video but only a still-shot of two guys facing each other and the taller of the two appearing to be in a position that could be somewhat aggressive.
What am I missing?

Utterly absurd & totally blown out of proportion! It is a kiss, sex. And, when I was 16 I would have loved to have been kissed (& more!) by Tom Daley!
D_Bro
If this picture is the only reference then I would say that the “boy” is the aggressor. He is grabbing Tom’s face and Tom looks surprised.
Perez Hilton has always been a scumbag. I wouldn’t put it past him to manufacture a scandalous story to go with a moment that was anything but.
On a side note, if I had the opportunity to kiss a hot 25 year old when I was 16 then I would have been a very happy 16 year old!
trsxyz
I can’t get excited about this.
ShowMeGuy
Perez Hilton is a grumpy little bitch….. this is not news.
People upset about a 16 year old social media “celebrity” and a 25 year old “celebrity” athlete sharing a LEGAL kiss in front of witnesses…..probably need to find a hobby….and if they live where a 16 year old is under age, they should be more focused on the fact that their media device which they used to view the kiss now contains “child pornography” in the history.
HAHAHAHAHA
JamJewel
Since I seduced my first thirty-odd year old when I was nine, I’m the last one to be outraged……
Mack
First off, from what I’ve heard it was just a kiss. No sexual act. If giving someone under the age of 16 a kiss illegal, then the jails would be full. Sounds like Perez is just trying to cause some problems because Dustin or Daley wouldn’t give him the half-ass interviews he wanted.
Garth
I’m In my 60’s and there is no way in hell I’d ever date that piece of crying shit Hilton. Such a has-been . The only way he can obtain any relevance is to spread crap about other people’s lives because no one gives a rats ass about his.
barryaksarben
It is just a kiss. I see nothing wrong . I was underaged and kissed people without it being sexual. It isnt like the kid was doing anything he didnt want to do. i knw i was gay at 13 but did not act on it until I was 16 with another gay kid so it that wrong? no
Black Pegasus
Two things:
1. Perez Hilton is repugnant.
2. Anyone defending a 25yr old man kissing a 16yr old on the lips is also repugnant.
RyanMBecker
“Anyone defending a 25yr old man kissing a 16yr old on the lips is also repugnant.”
Because…? I challenge you to show me data of *inherent* harm in such an act. Indeed, the majority of states in the US have 16 as their age of consent, and the majority of European nations set the age at 14-16, with only 3 nations going higher. Furthermore, the only meta-analysis of adult-adolescent relationships [that I’m aware of] showed that the majority of adults who had such relationships as an adolescent rated them fondly. If I’m not mistaken, over 70% said that it was positive experience.
Are you really so megalomaniacal as to think that your tastes should be the universal yardstick? You know how many homophobes find two males kissing “repugnant”? THINK about it.
D_Bro
Have you seen the picture? It shows the boy moving on Daley. You don’t see Daley kissing him back.
twohanded
I fail to see what all the hoo ha is…….age of consent is 16.
Tom’s marital status has nothing to do with anything.
So he kissed a 16 year old boy not yet a man but 16 and legal nonetheless.
The majority of the moaners ……..sour grapes………just saying
natriley
Kissing is not sex. Adults can kiss children on the lips during festive occasions. If it ends there, there is nothing to say. I bet a dollar the young man was delighted to have the kiss. It’s fun to be gay, age of consent laws govern sex, not a kiss on the lips.
Dunnedin
What I find interesting about Americans is that they view youth as sexless until they reach the magic age of 18 (it used to 21 or 16 or 14…depending on the era…what do you think the purpose of Sweet Sixteen and Quinceneras were or that Juliet was 13 being pursued by Paris who was obviouly in his 20s). What is it about Americans who feel THEIR laws and THEIR norms should be the norms of the world?

First, since when did Perez Hilton become the compass for morals. Everything he has been associated with his career, which is gossip and feeding off of celebrity lives. He is still on the lower part of the totem pole and desperately wants to climb it on the backs of others.
Second, if the video is from a party in the UK and the age of consent is 16, then who are we to be all judgemental. That you wouldn’t do it doesn’t mean no one else would.
rockland2u
If perez wants to truly shock the world, he should post a pic of someone kissing him! now that would be shocking
animatedgifman
So as long as I got this st8 … Everyone in the photo is ‘of age’ regardless of their country(ies) of origin or the country the kiss was given and no laws of any of said countries were broken? OK, …so what exactly is the scandal again?
Everyone knows Perez Hilton is a huge attention whore and the only thing stated with any conviction is the younger of these two young MEN is 16 years old. The rest is couched in uncertainty [he might be only 15 and might have been drunk] so what? The age of consent and for alcohol consumption in China is 14. Again, no local or national laws are being broken, and all the BS about holding celebs to an artificial ‘higher standard’ are both hypocritical for LGBTQ people who supposedly want to be treated ‘just like everyone else’ and merely opinions. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one (and most of them stink).
I for one who has ‘been there and done that’ as the younger party (had just turned 19 after shacking up with the first gay man in my life and him being 34 yo) felt in no way violated or taken advantage of by this ‘much?’ older man. We got along famously, so well in fact that on September 19th, 2019 we celebrated our 40th anniversary together. Cheers …
Chipper
Its a kiss. I wander how many of these that are so negative, when you were 16 did the same thing with an older guy. just saying
rockland2u
Anyone consider for a moment, this wasn’t some moment secretly caught off guard by paparazzi, this was in front of a group and a photographer, a fun playful moment that they knew they were taking a picture, if you condemned every individual who got a pic of them giving a peck to some celebrity, there wouldn’t be anyone left in Hollywood.. how sad that some wanna inject their own imagined evil into an otherwise playful moment
Joshooeerr
a) a quick google search will tell you that, aside from Perez and Queerty, NOBODY is outraged. b) there’s not even evidence of an actual kiss, but even if there is, it’s a kiss; it’s not sexual activity and c) everyone crying “pedo” needs to look up the meaning of the word. A paedophile is someone with an interest in children – that’s pre-pubescent children. Sexual activity with a teenager, even if it contravenes age of consent limits somewhere, is not paedophilia.
David Myers
Hear hear!!! Thank you for helping combat the hysteria!
MudgeBoy
nicely said. I agree with you.
Dymension
Age of consent has to do with sexual relations. If this was only a kiss, there is not an issue.
RyanMBecker
THIS IS A NON-ISSUE. There is NO age of consent for kissing. Period, end of story.
Furthermore, I’m willing to bet that the teenager was starstruck and found Daley attractive, and he likely approached Daley. As for infidelity, who among us know what kind arrangement Daley has with his husband?
Non-issue.
TheMarc
First from a legal perspective, AOC laws typically apply to country of the older person’s origin. This has been very effective in prosecuting those who did (and perhaps still do) go to some countries where there is a much lower AOC than the country where they hold citizenship. This has been very effective at discouraging “sexual tourism.” So Perez can call off his “lawyers;” IF the teen in question matched the AOC of the U.K. where Tom is a citizen.
I’ve never been a big fan of Tom. Even when this very website seemed to worship the guy. But before the complete facts are out; I would encourage everyone to reserve judgment.
Why? It’s coming from Perez “crazy eyes” Hilton. A KNOWN sensationalist blogger who thrives on drama that he himself creates. He’s not the most credible news source; and it would appear that he often goes after those whom he has not received the desired attentions/reactions from. And, regarding the cheating allegations, with the prevalence of so many “open” gay marriages; it wouldn’t surprise me if Tom sent his husband the pictures right after himself. Not a fan of open marriages; but if that is what they have; this certainly would not be infidelity given their potential arrangement.
yup5hioop
Is this guy even gay or bi? Haven’t seen the video but maybe it was a dare or a joke. Straight guys seem to like to sometimes play around being cute with gays mainly to convince girls they aren’t macho sexist exploiters or they are woke or something. They aren’t really trying to act or be gay or get gays attention but signal to girls they aren’t overly aggressive.
CityguyUSA
Is there something forced or coerced than let them alone. If the politicians are ready to deal with the Lolita Express, a favorite of Trump, let them clean their own bullshit.
Brethmas
Kissing on the lips is NOT a sexual interaction…
ptb2016
This reminds me of all those soaps where one character kisses another and ll hell breaks loose! It isn’t sex. It just a kiss. People in the entertainment business kiss each other lots. It nothing. And as others have said, the chance to kiss Tom Daley? Yes please. This is Perez looking for self publicity. He’s little to offer himself so he’s using others to try and make himself interesting. Perez interesting you’re not.
Doctor Benway
Do we really have to take Perez Hilton seriously? Do we even have to talk about this guy? As if the lockdown wasn’t unbearable enough.
(I think I even prefer catching the Covid than thinking about Hilton, really)
08roadrunner
I’m glad to see most of you agree this is a non issue. Unless less this kid was kissed against his will (which I highly doubt) there’s nothing wrong here. It’s funny how a 16 year old can be tried as an adult if he committed a heinous crime. But is too young to consent to a kiss from a smoking hot 25 year old.
MudgeBoy
I looked at the pic and it looks like the kid is kissing Tom, kinda forcefully. Not that Tom is running away. I wish Hilton would run away.

What’s the fuss about, so what he kissed a guy and he liked it. It was consensual and If I had the chance to Kiss Tom, I’d have died and gone to heaven. 15-16-year-olds are randier than 25-year-olds this is Perez trying to stay relevant. And here we are giving him a platform, so I guess it worked, but like I’ve said before we have bigger fish to fry and this is a non-issue.

The only thing wrong with this is Perez Hilton

BFD! So a 16 year old locked lips with a world-famous pretty gay boy. So what! It was consensual and public enough to be videotaped and/or photographed. Much Ado About Nothing.

The video is awfully fuzzy and I would personally not trust anything that Perez Hilton is involved with

this tends to happen when a teenager has a relationship with an older man…later on, they feel like they missed out on hooking up with teen guys their age….Tom was 18 and his husband was 38 when they started- Tom swore this was the first guy he was ever with…so, it’s not surprising he’s trying to make up for lost opportunities (if indeed there’s anything to this). It wouldn’t be a shock… last comment deleted for some reason- I guess the Lance Black mafia still exists.

There is no kiss. There is no story. Who gives a shit? How old were you when you lost your virginity? How old was the person you lost it to? Look in your own mirror.

Why is it in a world where a camera on a phone can take a perfect picture, we get grainy pictures where one cannot make out who the people truly are? Is there proof that is really Tom, and that either of them are 16?

I mean, who really cares about this? A kiss is just a kiss. It is not like he ripped the guys clothes off and had sex with him in public. Probably made the kids day and it was all in fun. So many holier than thou people in here. You have never did anything that you thought back on and said, maybe I should not have done that. It was in the moment, he realizes, I hope, that he should not have done what he did, but was nothing illegal. Am sure it was all in fun. Get a grip guys!

lol the video on Twitter looks like its a ‘truth or dare’ kiss – this is so lame and Hilton is vile.

1. Perez is just jealous it isn’t him…2. How many of ya’ll, Perez included, have drooled over Chalamet in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME which is about a 17 yr old getting it on with a 22 yr old, hypocrisy much ? 3. Anyone who says a 17 year old cannot make their own decision about who they want to kiss is insane..unless if the kid has been drugged or is drunk, or is mentally challenged, he knew what he was doing..get over it, it’s not porn. It’s a kiss..besides, straight people wouldn’t make a big deal if it were a straight boy and a 25 year old woman, or even vice versa, hell what was that song, ” she’s only 17 ? “, and how does that Beatles song go, ” well she was just 17 ” ?

I honestly don’t care what they do but Tom Daley & Dustin Lance Black have always given me the creeps. I used to see Black at parties in L.A. and he was always preying upon barely-legal-looking boys. So it didn’t surprise me to see him with Daley who looks about 12 and acts about 9. The two of them want to be influencers with their look-at-our-perfect-family routine but no one’s buying it. And Black has no idea how to write a screenplay unless he’s haranguing us with some whiny gay sermon. “Milk” sucked dead cow balls. If you want to learn the real story of Harvey Milk just watch the doc about him that came out in 1984.
