    italianprincess(:



  8. 8

    But what if people dont accept you for it, or dont agree with it. Then you just feel like an alien. Even though it isnt your fault, and its not gross, ot wrong. Its just love. :)



  9. 9

    If youre gay , then i think you should accept who you are first before coming out to friends and family. There shouldnt be a 'day' for it. Should just be when youre ready.
    But frankly, Im straight…wheres my celebration of being straight?



  18. 18

    that's right!
    perez, you loook AMAZING!!!!!!!



  19. 19

    im 17, every year i watch coming out day and i hate that i can't…



  20. 20

    Loves it! Thank you!



  21. 21

    YAY Gayness. Anyways you know who likes Gays? Britney Spears and her new video WOMANIZER premieres tonight on ABC at 10pm.



  22. 22

    perez is really ugly.



  23. 23

    Re: P0SS3_B0SS – I know what you mean



  24. 24

    homosexuality does not create life it is purely for pleasure and a perversion against nature



  25. 25

    Perez, sorry my man but you still remind me of a monkey.



  26. 26

    So shall it be in the end of the world, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah..nuff said.



  27. 27

    Perez I don't care, why don't you post Britney's Womanizer music video for everyone to see????? I like watching it a lot more than listening you talk down to me like I'm five years old, you ass.

    By the way, why do you hate on guys who look like they're going bald (that's the only reason you ever spoke about Heath Ledger before January) when it's SO clear that if you didn't have your hair implants, you'd be fucking bald yourself.



  28. 28

    Put put your seatbelt on baby!

    haha, I thought HRC stood for Hillary Rodham Clinton!



  33. 33

    I TOTALLY DISAGREE…

    How dare you pressure gay people to come out to make their lives better. Being gay is about sexuality and that is no one's business. If you want to come out, then come out…if you don't want to come out, then don't.

    Perez and his video cronies forget to talk about the kids who have been bullied, beaten and even killed for coming out of the closet - great life they have, eh?

    Don't let anyone tell you what is right or wrong for you - make the decision that is best for yourself.



  34. 34

    i love you perez you rock

    Re: kat. – Um, no…ALL of us are NOT a little gay inside. I have NEVER looked at a naked woman, and wanted to drop down to my knees, for a little 'muff diving'. Nor have I ever looked at another woman, and wondered how she would look, sprawled out naked, on my bed.
    You, liberals, need to stop speaking for EVERYONE!



  36. 36

    GOOD FOR YOU!!!



  37. 37

    About the Palin comment. She didn't fire the trooper that abused his son, she fired the boss of the trooper because he didn't fire the trooper that abused his son. That was wrong.

    but I can't!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not that easy!



  40. 40

    Perez, you look fantastic!!! An inspiration.

    Great message, too



  41. 41

    what are you on??? hmmmm…



  42. 42

    AMEN BROTHA!!!
    I came out this year (as bi) - and I must say, honesty is refreshing!!!



  43. 43

    oo i came out like a month ago and none of my friends even care
    even the boy friend (im bi! and damn proud of it!) doesnt think anything of it. and im a volunteer with no on 8 every other weekend
    and its so true
    the more homosexuals there are the more poeple are going to get used to the idea

    back when there weren't that many i thought it was weird and hated myself for my feelings but i started being more aware and volunteered and it made me more comfortable with this and say yeah ok im attracted to the same sex and damit there hot! i feel sooo much better

    so please comeout..even to just a couple of good friends then u can grow from there but its just about being comfortable with your sexuality and embracing it
    go to a gay bar have funnnnn
    or for u lesbians a strip club, ull immediately feel better so yeah come out of the closet =)



  44. 44

    Re: PiercerJenn – then find a group of people like if ur highschool there might be a lgbt club or possibly college
    just search for a group that can make you feel comfortable



  45. 45

    Perez, please do something with that hair!!!!!



  46. 46

    Jesus man, why dont u get over the fact ur gay!!! im tired of people talkin bout shit like this, we dont care (obviously i do otherwise i wudnt b sayin this)

    WHERES NATIONAL STRAIGHT DAY???????????????????????????????????????????



  47. 47

    Inspirational!! Come out! You are loved and accepted!

    Proponents of Prop 8 continue to lie in their television ads.

    This is affecting voters to turn AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE.

    If we all donate at least $50.00 this HATEFUL and DISCRIMINATORY Proposition will be defeated.

    NO to HATE. NO on 8. DONATE: www.NoOnProp8.com

    THAT IS WHY I DONTATE TO THIS H.R.C MONTHLY. I BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT TO PURSUE HAPPINESS TO ALL.



  50. 50

    Re: getoverurself – THATS BECAUSE BEING ST8 IS A GIVEN. ITS A SICK PROPAGANDA THATS BEING PASSED ON BY INSTITUTIONS OF "HOPE AND DIVINITY" BY MARGINALIZING THE MINORITY. IT WAS THE INDIANS, THEN THE BLACKS, THEN THE WOMEN, THEN GAYS.



  51. 51

    I don't think people need to be pressured like this to come out. You want kids coming out to their parents and getting kicked out of their houses?? Sometimes it makes sense for a person to wait. The right time is different for everyone, PEREZ.



  52. 52

    OK Perez..as the cousin of a legally married couple..( My cousin and her wife) in Canada!

    And she ( My cousn) was the poster girl for cystic fibrosis with Celine Dion in 87 I thinK?

    Today she has had a double lung transplant and no longer breathes through a straw..and she and her wife are awaitning the birth of their first child..KUDOS!!



  53. 53

    Re: RC – or volunteer which is just as goood
    ive talked to people who changed there minds about this and yeah its very affective
    just find a location near you =)

    54

    To shhhi'mnothere (per comment #50) Being straight (BTW..it's STR8, NOT ST8) is a given AND a sick propaganda?!?
    If believing that gets you through the day and helps you to accept your own sexuality, so be it. But, you're entirely wrong.
    I have to wonder, also, why I couldn't click on 'reply to this' beside your name and get to the comment section…but, I could for anyone else on this thread. Let me guess…you are either Perez or one of his 'butt buddies'.



  55. 55

    Gosh, way to be irresponsible. Young gays may follow your lead Mario and then get killed. If Prop. 8 exists, it's because there is intolerance. All gays don't live a "cushy" life like you.



  56. 56

    Too bad i am not gay or a lesbian. oh well



  57. 57

    God bless you for posting this!! This is one thing…, people can do on their own without being outed by someone else! If you are a heterosexual, you will never understand this because you have never had to justify your sexual orientation.

    Regards,

    SG



  58. 58

    Re: Anonymous – me either! i can't believe that everyone is a little gay, because i'm not at all. i don't see anything at all in women. i also think MOST bi chicks - not all, but most - just do it for the extra male attention it gets them. which is wrong, because they act so stupid and make everyone who really is gay or bi look bad.

    sorry :( didnt mean to be mean but you remind me of the transvestite from Paris is Burning :(



  62. 62

    With respect why are gays so bloody obsessed about their sex preferences.Nobody outside Palin church gives a toss who you sleep with.Why the need to come out all guns blazing ? It is the endless rant you all do that makes folk aggro towards gays in general .Not me but Harry Average.



  63. 63

    This is a great video. I hope that many people that are hiding who they are take this video to heart and come out. Thanks Perez.



  64. 64

    Timing is everything. For some people they can't come out if they aren't in a safe place to do it. If you are in high school and you are afraid of getting beaten up or worse(!) you should wait. I think some people are afraid to come out because they believe the people they like will "turn" on them. Even their families. So they would rather keep pretending everything is OK rather then risk "losing" those people. But chances are, a lot of those people already sense you might be gay. The thing is, some of them would rather you keep pretending so THEY don't have to deal with it. Of course some gay people who have jobs are afraid of losing their jobs or being harassed about being gay at work. It is very hard to come out and it can also be dangerous. That is why a gay person needs support to come out. I think that when a gay person comes out gradually, to certain people, it is probably easier. They need people they can count on when things get touchy. I think coming out is a personal decision and when a person feels ready, they will do it. They just need to really be ready for the fact that people they love and care about, people they thought were friends, will turn their backs on you. Not all, but some. But the gay person will realize they weren't worth ruining your own life for it. No. I am not gay, but I work with artist and a lot of them are.



  65. 65

    Awesome.

    BTW - you look AMAZING!! You are motivating me to get to the gym this morning. =)



  66. 66

    I give you a lot of credit. If I was gay, I don't know that I'd have that courage. Very empowering video!

    Is there a monkey living up there?



  68. 68

    Perez, I wrote a song about coming out that's PERFECT for national coming out day… please watch "Out! - Tyler Foehr" it's on youtube, I posted it as a response to this video, and I think if you posted it on your site, it could have the chance to inspire sooo many more people. If you don't like it tho, it's no big. I just thought I'd at least try.



  69. 69

    Re: papatoonyRe: ekkobeach – Both of you are absolutely right. No one should be pressure to come out, especially when they feel it's not safe for them.



  70. 70

    You high in that video?



  71. 71

    RIGHT ON PEREZ!
    everyone should be accepting of everyone else!!

    Perez, I hope you are getting enough protein in your diet, because you are really losing your hair!



  75. 75

    Re: RC – there is NO lying being done in those videos..its all true buddy..i give you the right to take away my definition of marriage, i loose a right of what i get to feel is true..its a LOSE LOSE situation no matter what…but honestly, homosexuality is accepted within the prop, we just want to DEFINE marriage as between a man and a women, remember, God created adam and Eve, NOT Adam and Steve…



  76. 76

    hellooo perez !
    i just have to say it:
    you totally look like spencer in the hills right now,
    and you speak like chris crocker in this video?:D



  77. 77

    Coming out right now really isn't a practical option for me. I'm living at home as I'm going to college. If I were to tell my mother, not only would I be kicked out, but I'd also have my college education taken away from me.

    Sure, coming out would allow me to live authentically, but at the expense of my future. I think people really need to stop and think about whether right now is the right time to come out. For many of us, it simply isn't. I can deal with being in the closet until I've moved out and started my career. It's easier to have your parents hate you when you don't live with them.



  78. 78

    Fuck it, stay in,no one cares .



  79. 79

    There's strength in numbers but alot of gays are still not going to come out when they can keep it on the down low and still do what they want. They have wives/husbands and children or come from families that would not accept it. They are also not going to admit it to their co-workers even though you can tell they are gay. Meanwhile, they are busy speculating on the morality of straight women. It's too hilarious. I couldn't care less if anyone else is gay but it's not true that everyone is "a little gay."



  80. 80

    Re: mayradlovesu

    Man created God(s) evolution created Adam and Adam and Eve and Eve as well.
    Coming out was the best thing I ever did. I don't regret it for a second.



  81. 81

    wow, perez you've lost your extra weight, you look great!

    Oh ~ get back in the closet and lock the fucking door.

    ========================
    Exactly! And the only reason Perez wants everybody to come out ~ is to validate his own insecurities.
    ========================
    Seriously ~ the guy is a selfish, self-important oaf from the core of his empty soul.

    Being around gay people all my life, I have also taught my child from day one the importance of acceptance of of gay people. I cannot understand these fucking jerks who hate without reason- ignorance like anything else I guess.
