HOMOPHOBE.

Just kidding.

So, Miss California “hates gays?” Really? That’s what you got from her answer?

Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage, and you know what, in my country and in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman.

I really don’t see the hate there.

Or maybe it’s because her wording is so bad that I need a few more minutes to understand it.

…

Nope, still don’t see it.

First off… I wasn’t aware Miss Cali lived in a different country. I assumed she lived in California.

Anyway, I don’t think she even accurately answered the question. We got a view of what she thinks marriage should be. And I agree with that view. But I was confused about whether she supported legalizing gay marriage or not. I watched part of her interview on FOX today, and it sounded like she didn’t. But whether she does or not, that’s not the point.

I’m going to be totally honest and say that Perez Hilton is a total jerk. He’s disgusting, not because he’s gay but because he… well, check out his website or his youtube and you’ll probably see. I think it’s horrible that he thinks it’s okay to “out” other celebrities. Their sexuality is their business, not ours. Really, I think Kim Ficera, who writes for Afterellen.com, said it best:

“I have to question the character of a man who attacks others on such deeply personal levels, without provocation and for self-benefit, monetary or otherwise….If he’s emotionally incapable of exhibiting even the tiniest bit of compassion for closeted people, if he can’t be sensitive to the fact that coming out is a very personal decision and that the process can be difficult for some — especially celebrities — I feel sorry for him. If his juvenile behavior is his shtick, I think it makes him a much more pathetic figure, and one the gay and lesbian community should not support…If we support behavior like Hilton’s, we applaud shallowness, arrogance, rage and invasion of privacy, and risk becoming what we despise.”

I think he’s a horrible representation of the gay community, and that he’s hurting his cause more than helping it.

He was not supposed to ask political questions, and he did. And he KNEW what the answer would be. Oh, and he says that she should have left her politics and religion OUT. Well, hon, if you think that she should leave her politics out, don’t ask a frickin political question. And the amount of abuse that Miss. Cali received because of her answer was unfair, and unnecessary. Perez has no reason to call her a “dumb *****,” or tell everyone what her answer “should” be. She answered honestly. She should have answered honestly. She can’t just lie so she can be politically correct. Don’t ask a question if you don’t want an honest answer.

Then again, everyone has the right to say what they think. This is America, and while some people may abuse this right, we have the right to say what we want. Miss. Cali had the right to say she doesn’t support gay marriage, Perez has the right to call her a “dumb *****,” and I have the right to say whatever I want about Perez.

Now, I don’t like gay people. I don’t dislike gay people. I judge people by the content of their character, nothing else. I don’t care about your sexual orientation. I don’t care about your race. I don’t care about your religion or your political views. I care about your character, and who you are.

And Perez, you’re an intolerant jerk.
