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..

@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 ...love ya

@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 ..

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

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