But I Don't Want Perez Hilton To Be The Face Of Gay America! Forty-Something Gay, ep58

[garfreeek]

wow it's weird for me knowing you all have to fight so much harder for mariage and other rights , i live in holland where it's usually o.k with people,

whatever makes you happy, you know.

of course there are just always people who won't think for themselves

or just in general. thanks for at least trying to send the right message it is needed in the world ^_^

and i never have watched perez hilton but am watching YOUR blog so that's 1-0 for you right ?!

greetings garfreek

I ABSOLUTELY agree with you. I despise how he wantonly promotes himself behind the guise of advocating of gay rights. I think it's thanks to famewhores like Perez Hilton, Chris Crocker, etc. that some people have a negative perception of gay people, when in fact they are representative AT ALL of a whole population.

One of the best professors I've had was gay, but foremost, he was a great teacher. I agree that being gay shouldn't identify a person as a whole; it's just another aspect of a person

Few things:

1) You're 40-something?

2) I don't think Perez sets a good example for the young gay guys out there (i'm in my mid 20's).

3) Could Perez hilton be the personification of why I'm not into 20-somethings?

[somelikeitscott]

1) Yes, I'm 44

2) I don't think Perez Hilton sets a good example for anyone - gay, straight, human, you get the idea.

3) My advice - don't allow Perez Hilton to affect you in any way if at all possible

@somelikeitscott ...maybe perez hilton is not a good xample of homos ..but i being Latino am proud of perez hilton..we never have a representitive of our community ..so me being gay and being latino..perez hilton is a image for us...i hope i made since ..if u didnt kknow perez hilton is cuban american...so everytime we see gays on tv or the news its always white and maybe black..latinos are invisable....why is that?..we have as much gay in our community as whites or blacks..

[somelikeitscott]

@onedominicanfellow I think I understand where you're coming from as my spouse is a black man and for years has been telling me about the lack of people of color on television, etc. The thing is that Perez Hilton does much harm to the gay community and people in general for his own fame and fortune. Just because someone's gay or Latino or Jewish (in my case as I'm Jewish) doesn't mean they should be a "role model" that's something you have to earn and we all need to raise on standands on.

[onedominicanfellow]

@somelikeitscott @somelikeitscott . i understand your point but have u noticed on youtube that the only gay people who get large amount of views are white or black?....on you tube it seem like latino gays are non existent ..im not blaming the whites or blacks we are all brothers but we as latin we keep the homosexuals silent..its not accepted in the latin community to be gay....so maybe prz hiltn may not be a good role model but at least i see myself when i see him..i hope that made sense ..

[onedominicanfellow]

@onedominicanfellow ...love ya

[metzsymph]

love him or hate him (I hate him!) he does represent certain types of gay men who are mostly invested in superficial things.

its discusting we allow fags from europe in the first place

[kenporich2006]

You were very articulate and very clear in your message. I am not gay but would convey to you that if things were handled in this fashion (yours) instead of perez hilton's you would have a better chance.. Perez Hilton is a major stain for gays. I find him to be obnoxious at best. He has no talent that I've seen (besides pissing people off). I don't care what people do in their bedrooms.  Thats their business. Perez Hilton needs a muzzle. Peace.

Being married is never gonna make homosexuality ok so either you face the truth and you keep your head stuck in the sand

[somelikeitscott]

And how, oh great one, am I supposed to face the truth with my head in the sand? Hmmm...And you are right, being married doesn't make homosexuality "ok" homosexuality is all ready better than just okay...believe me, I've been doing it for over forty years!

[VintageEnvy]

Great video, I myself being a girl dread the big attention paris hilton used to be getting and feeling the same way you feel about perez. After awhile I noticed that a lot of stuff being said about her was making fun of her not glamourizing it and it made me feel a little bit better. 5 stars

[bearchewtoy75]

VERY WELL PUT!

I'm afraid that Perez may have just ruined everything!

[sdh963]

Good message. This is one of your best videos.

[somelikeitscott]

Thanks sdh963!

[arcoles4]

Actually, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. This video conveys a really good message, and you spoke from the heart, and I appreciate that. I agree with you...I don't care for that meshuguna Perez Hilton...just not my cup of tea.

[somelikeitscott]

Thanks for watching and for the support.
