Shame: Jerry Lewis Hurls Anti-Gay Sentiment. Again.
The old, shameful dog has not learned anything.
On Friday, Jerry Lewis made an anti-gay slur on Australian television similar to one he apologized for using on his annual telethon a year ago.
When asked by an Oz TV reporter on live television, how he felt about cricket, the Aussie national sport, Lewis answered:
"Oh, cricket? It's a fag game. What are you, nuts?"
Oh, Jerry. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
GLAAD issued the following statement about the latest Jerry incident:
"Last year, Mr. Lewis apologized for using an anti-gay slur on live television, and expressed his desire to raise public awareness about the impact of this kind of defamation. Clearly he did not take the lessons of that unfortunate episode to heart because, in an effort to be humorous, he has once again managed to offend and defame the gay community… For someone so well known for helping others, Mr. Lewis shows an incredible lack of dignity and respect when he makes comments that contribute to a climate of intolerance."
We're waiting for Jerry's new empty apology.
What a douche!

O:
Yeah, he's a douche. But he's also old and completely irrelevant. Would anyone really care if he did apologize?
Douche!
Jackass
And….Who cares what he says? Will it change my opinion? No.
I wouldn't ask for an apology, he obviously doesn't mean it. He's a dickhead. He should know better.
LMAO, stop being so sensitive u fuckin flamer
I am gay and I use the word "fag" all the time in a joking way! you call him a douche bag yet promote Feminen in your website, who's a radid homophobe! please!!! and speaking of gay issues has your idol Granny Tranny MANdonna given any cabbage to help defeat Prop 8 in CA????? didn't think so! God I hate "fags" love real gay men though!!
tRUTH HURTS?! cRICKET SUCKS.., LIKE YOU WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO TO YOU!
LOL!!!
Give Jerry a break.., he knows not what he says!
…awww. The poor ol' drunk. Isn't a fag a smoke over there? Maybe he's just dumb. The silly old cunt. "Only Yesterday" he was sticking a big black dildo up his wrinkled old ass. (That last part may or may not be true)…
Re: former M fan – Amen bro'!!!
Shut up Perez. Shut it. Shut it. You call people ugly and you yourself label pretty men "gayface", call Suri Cruise an alien, generalize about entire states/religions/countries whenever a few of the people say/do something, bully people into admitting their personal lives to the media, and then you battle intolerance. HYPOCRITE!
[[[[[[ Jerry Lewis and his Ratpack were all gay ]]]]]]]]]]]
zzzzzzzzzz hez juzt covering hiz trackzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
i always thought he was gay
He's an old guy from another era, what do you expect? Hell, I don't get mad when old white women refer to me as "colored"; actually I think it's funny as hell. But it is what it is - it doesn't mean he's opposed to gays, it means that was the term for gays in his day. I think EVERYONE (Black, Asian, Jews, Gays, Women, etc.) should stop being so sensitive over WORDS. Jeez, whatever happened to "sticks and stones"?
That bloated puto is on his way out anyway. Who gives a damn.
my gay friends use the word fag, while it may not be on television for the world to hear the gay community might want to lighten up a bit.
although Jerry is a douche if he already said something once and apologized he looks like a real tool saying it again.
i wouldn't even bother demanding an apology he wouldn't mean it.
Gross old man
40 years ago, the word "gay" meant happy and had nothing to do with sexual preference. While the gay population might not like it, the word "fag" often means nothing about sexual identity but lame. Words change meaning over time quite often. It is bigoted for one population to be able to use a word while another population may not.
This coming from a man that spent the better part of his career jumping into the arms of another man!!??? I once thought he was a good, caring, compassionate guy. His bigotry has now made me rethink. What a F@#&*ing hypocrite. Get some new words Jerry…
OMG Perez STFU your the Douche just cause people don't agree with Gays doesn't mean they are bad leave poor old man Jerry alone. what about you slandering Samantha Ronson calling her SaMAN ronson you say things in hatred ways what the hell does that make you huh?? your an Idiot makes me sick you make money off stealing stories.
think Don Rickles—it is not meant seriously. please. you should read more; it would help you decipher joking/sarcasm/etc. GLAAD and similar groups need to cease policing speech. and even though i am not a big Jerry Lewis fan, older entertainers as well as older people should be valued. i am sure Jerry has known a fag or two and they would not bat an eye at this.
—progressive voter
he's old and boring perez dont give him more attention by showing him on your page
Big fucking deal. Cricket is a fag game.
Fuck you, Lewis.. You're an old limp prick.
Not as bad as some fucked up fag calling a 15 year old girl a "Disney Slut".
Re: edtor – From your picture you have no right to call anyone a fag!
you can say fagolous or fag but its forbidden for him? If you dont like the way the words used then dont use it yourself. You seem hypocritical.
What's a fag?
Re: Eraserhead – Let's see.. you are obviously upset he called cricket a "fag" game and to retaliate you call him a fag based on his av… Does that make you any better than him? I think not.
I don't understand why "gay face" is a completely acceptable and often used term for you, and most of the people you say have "gay face" aren't gay.. just look like they could possibly be, but if anyone else in this world uses the terms gay, fag, etc. to explain something that looks/sounds gay to them, but isn't REALLY it's a fucking disgrace, right?
mark my words the lame excuse he is going to make will have something to do with his health or medication. PATHETIC… he will never learn! Douche with a capital D
Re: cris2you – He is a hypocritical story stealer!
Re: cris2you – lol!! Perez is a HACK and hypocrite!
Jerry Lewis
iz zo gay..hez my
hoemie..I luv hiz
zweet azzhole.
Jerry, call me!♥
ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Perez, in the 40's and 50's fag meant sissy, not homosexual. Calm the fuck down you shrill little fruit!
let me just say this. the fact that anybody is offended by him is completely gay. who doesnt talk that way?? everybody does it so whatfreakingever! gay gay gay…sue me…
Re: Almondjoy – and for the record, I love him!
He's like 80, who gives a fuck?
You call Gov palin horrible names. You call people names ALL THE TIME! But wait- if some guy who raises more money for charity than ALL the other celebrities combined, goes old school on you and says "fag", which is short for "fagela" the YIDDISH word for homosexual- so what? Fagela is a real word, and fag is an abbreviation. You insult other gays EVERY DAY with far worse. And you don't really earn millions to fight birth defects and muscular disorders. Do you?
That's sad…idiot!!!!!——————————————————————We need to remind everybody that she's the only one with executive office experience!!! I think many are voting for Obama based on character!!! The fact of the matter is that If you raise Corporate tax, and you also raise Minimum Wage… what do you think that'll happen??? Specifically small business owners that have a lower margin will have to lay off to be able to compensate for the increase in tax and salary expenses!!!! IT'S INSANE TO VOTE FOR NOBAMA!!!!!————————————————————————————————————————
Also, he wants to raise taxes on Capital Gains…well news flash.. the stock market is in the crapper… Investors are scared to put money back in the market…they have a valid fear of losing their money… so if on top of that.. you tell them that if they happen to invest and make a gain they will get taxed higher…. He's not giving incentives to the investor…He's not giving incentives to corporations…and what good does having to pay lower personal taxes if you don't have an actual job.. because your company let you go…after Obama raised their taxes…————————————————————————————– As you can see Nobama's affects everybody!!! VOTE McCAIN/PALIN 08'!!!!!!
There are people on here that use that word all of the time. Andy, abercory, swimwhatever and many more. I had no idea it was a bad word since so many people use it. I hear fag all of the faggin time. fag this, fag that. Some people really need to get a life. To much shit going on in the world to worry about the word fag or any other word.
Re: GHT – exactly!
Jerry Lewis has raised over TWO BILLION dollars in his lifetime for neuromuscular disease research and aid. Go check it out yourself - use wikipedia if you must. He has done it voluntarily too. And he doesn't ask for sexual orientation when his charities dole out the cash. So shut up.
This guy is 264 years old.. do you honestly expect him to change his views on ANYTHING??!! It does make me wonder how those 'faggy' French react to his intolerance (they think he's a comic genius.. wow).
sorry i agree with everyone else u call everyone names on a daily basis your now a very rich man for talking shit on any and every celeb you can and your gonna cry out cause some old dude used a term you dont like get the fuck out of here
Re: && I got a thing for you! – "I don't understand why "gay face" is a completely acceptable and often used term for you, and most of the people you say have "gay face" aren't gay.. just look like they could possibly be, but if anyone else in this world uses the terms gay, fag, etc. to explain something that looks/sounds gay to them, but isn't REALLY it's a fucking disgrace, right?"
Yes, if you're not gay.
Re: Dabid – "40 years ago, the word "gay" meant happy and had nothing to do with sexual preference. While the gay population might not like it, the word "fag" often means nothing about sexual identity but lame. Words change meaning over time quite often. It is bigoted for one population to be able to use a word while another population may not. "
Fag = gay = bad. They are using fag for something bad, because they feel that being gay is bad. Fag will always be sexual identity, short bus club.
No it is not bigoted for one population to use it and not another. You're not gay, prick!
Say "fag" at your job, you lose it. Go try it, punk!
Re: Cherry Bomb – " And he doesn't ask for sexual orientation when his charities dole out the cash. So shut up. "
That makes no sense, moron.
Re: GHT – Uh, Perez never called Palin a bigoted slur, douche.
Re: GHT – "Get over it. I hope he doesn't apologize. IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH. You should know what this is. You take it to the extreme level of bs. "
Yes, and to call him out on it is also FREEDOM OF SPEECH, loser!
Re: Cherry Bomb – "You call Gov palin horrible names. You call people names ALL THE TIME!

Fag doesn't come from fagela, you moron.
Doesn't matter what he does. Jerry Falwell raised money too.
How do you like that, Kike?!
Re: JackSkeets – "Perez, in the 40's and 50's fag meant sissy, not homosexual. "
Fag equaled homosexual which equaled sissy.
Stop rewriting history.
I hope Jerry Lewis dies a horrible death, and does the world a favor and takes that gun finally, and blow his fucking brains out. Do us all a favor.
I don't care what he's raised. He's a worthless piece of shit.
asshole wasn't funny then isnt funny now.
Re: Rivarita – Exactly, you're right on the money. Perez, how on earth can you try and take the moral high ground and condemn anyone's language or beliefs when your own can be deplorable. Talk about double standards. You devalue the point you try and make and you devalue the cause you say you support. Perez, you give gays a bad name!
so you can call people "twats" and "retards" and post nasty pictures about them if you don't agree with their lifestyle or personal choices, but he can't call someone a fag?
Just a little hypocritical…
Sticks and stones, little one. Sticks and stones.
Re: saywhat – wow. So tolerant. So tolerant.
I love the hypocricy.
Since when is the word "gay" considered offensive? (It even used to mean "bright", "colourful" or "happy".) People get offended over *EVERY* little thing nowadays! Geez!! Lighten up people!
Whoever thought of the word "GAY" for homosexuals and lesbians was an idiot. I hate that word beyond description, it is just as stupid as "FAG" if not more so. We are homosexuals or lesbians or hetero but not GAY, I'll start a campaign to have that word banned from our vocbulary.
Has anyone ever hear of the "dementia"? The guy is going back to his hey-day where it was okay to use that term.
Re: Pogue Mahone – Get with the program dude, the word used was fag not gay but….
If you google the words BBC and GAY you may find out that gay has a new/alternate meaning in some parts of the world. So, in future Perez, you are no longer gay. You're just RUBBISH!
Coming from an Australian cricket does suck but prob not the best word to use to describe it.
HE'S OWES AN APOLOGY TO AUSSIES ONLY!!!!. Dickhead should not come to our country and compare our national sport to AIDS infected bum sex. Is the cunt brain dead or what?
Re: Cristi – You are very confused about the difference between corporations and small business. Also, you tend to blame the current state of things on Obama. He hasn't won yet. Perez doesn't have to say anything bad about Palin. (that we haven't heard before)
He shouldnt have to apologize. Im very straight but do not dislike gays, however, this is the way he thinks. Im sorry! it SUCKS! but you cant expect everyone to accept and respect your way of life!
What up ~ it is a fag game!!!
Re: Cleopatra – I'm with you. "Gay" is similar to "Nelly" imo. Yo soy Yo.
If cricket is a sport that is enjoyed by gay people then why does GLAAD hate it so much?
Re: saywhat – YOU my friend, are a LOSER.
Re: MissVera – Freedom of speech…call a spade a spade and a fag a fag…PERIOD. If you all think it's OK for PH to literally attack a child like Miley Cyrus calling a teenager a slut and such, then get pissy when someone calls a gay person a fag then you all need to take a "big girl" pill and get the fuck over it.
I'm being censored…..I hate you PH
is there a link on here that says "get the fuck logged out"?
Seriously, what the fuck is he suppose to learn? Not to offend Glaad? Give me a break, will ya? I'm sure there was no vicious intent. He's a freakin comedian. I'm so sick and tired of this political correct bullshit. I think Glaad needs to stand on the sidelines waiting for somebody to say anything even slightly offensive so they can give 'official press releases' in response. Calm the fuck down. Take a deep breath…and go after those that are really damaging to your rights to fuck who you want, love who you want, and marry who you want. Thank you, and have a nice day.
He may be funny but he's not smart.
Fancy insulting the gay community once again and also Australia, by poking fun at their no 1 national sport on TV, while a guest in that country.
Not a smart man, a very small man indeed.
Re: ViewFromHere – Well I didn't know that small business couldn't be corporations!!! Look Big Corporations are suffering…so what do you think that will happen to the Medium/Small ones (that btw can also be Corporations!!!!) if you raise taxes and min. wage!!! Business owners will start laying off people.
—————————————————————————————-
Perhaps you misunderstood what I wrote…I'm obviously not blaming him for the state that the country is in… I am just saying what could happen if he gets elected!!! In his plan: He's taking away incentives from Big, Medium and Not so Small (by his standards) Corporations by raising their taxes. He's taking away incentives from the individual Investors to put money back in the market when he says he wants to raise Capital Gains!!!… GET IT??
Douche. When will people get a clue, this is surprising from a Hollywood stalwart. How does he think his industry keeps going? Biggest collection of queens is in the arts, they make it colourful!
Just to clarify though, cricket is NOT the Aussie national sport. It's a long held tradition, yes, but it's very much a game that came from Great Britain - Aussies are just particularly AWESOME at it!
The national game of Oz is DEFINITELY Australian Rules Football - a game so fast, so tough and so athletic that Americans who watch it cannot BELIEVE they play this game without padding, or offense/defense teams. Take a look at it online, I'm sure you will be impressed.
some comedian tend to make a fool out of em self like seinfeld in windows tv ads.. but saying some sport like crikest beeing gay?
the joke is good but the comment is not very nice to ppl who play it….
What is so crazy about this "homophobe" comment? Everyone knows cricket is gay. Are we to a point now where we can't call something gay? Soccer is gay, cricket is gay, riding in a VW bug is gay, listening to Madonna is gay.
Po' thang. When them ol' whiteys gets old, they's no tellin' what's gone come outtin they's mouths.
i thought he was gay?
Remember when women could not vote?
Remember when african americans were slaves?
Remember when Whites cannot marry Chinese?
Let's make discrimination a thing of the past.
Time to move this country forward.

Honda rider the next time you say fag I hope you crash without a helmet bigot.
Perez, you expect all of us to jump on board when someone says something you preceive as an insult. But you use discrimitory and repulsive wording all the time. How many people are waiting for an apology from you? Someone who does not support your view is a hater, you call people idiots and you call an old man a douche bag. In the 70's and 80's fag was used to call someone who use not cool, not popular. You did not have to be gay to be call a fag. Has Lewis ever done anything against the gays? Jerry's kids are made up of all colors and races.
YOU are a douche, Mario. it is the fucking in your face flamers like you who
give the gays a bad name. you are an intolerant, hypocritical little fat-assed
queen who thinks he's somebody. Jerry Lewis might need to tone it down a
bit, but he's old and can be excused. and really, you hateful little fuckwad,
look at EVERYTHING he's done over the years, how many people he's helped.
You will NEVER measure up to that, you fat little moron.
Who the fuck should really care what he says at this point! After all he was trying making a joke.
Re: Lawzy Lawzy Miss Scarlett –
Oh honey, we don't have to get old for that to happen. Jerry Lewis has worked his whole life to help people, yet obama wants to take his wealth and spread it around!
Free speech. If he wants to use it, let him. Plus, he's old. Old people don't take well to gays and lesbians and whatever else. Let the old man say what he wants.
PS..how is calling him a douche any better than him using the word fag?
Dumbass.
Re: justtfax –
dude. iawyc. Nicely said.
Lewis has paid his dues, THRICE, you dyke hatin' fag.
Boo Hoo Hoo get over it. Aren't there more important things to deal with then what Jerry Lewis says. You need to get over yourselves. Life is to short.
May not agree but I defend his right to say it.
In this case, cricket is gay.
I cant beleive he would say this!! soccer is way more of a fag sport than cricket
last time i checked,this was still a free country,with the right to free speech,free will thinking.
quit whining everytime someone whos not gay says something you disagree with.
Why does he have to apologise? If that's his opinion then he is entitled to voice it. Freedom of speech anyone??
why is anyone bothering to quote him, no one even watches his bad telethon
but ya cricket is kinda gay, lol
He still makes me laugh !!!!! Oh,and cricket IS a fag game…….
Eh, he's a crazy old man. What can you say? Just let him be. He's gonna die soon anyway, so why waste your breath? If you see him, just pat him on the head and ask him if he'd like another Ensure.
This is a test….my posts aren't showing up…..
