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!

This is a test….my posts aren't showing up
DUDE, SERIOUSLY … WHY IN THE H-E-L-L DOES THIS BLOG EVEN COVER OR REPORT ABOUT HOMO-PHOBES?
Why give them the oxygen of publicity, in other words?
get over it! people are made fun of every day. Can the gays really not handle something like this being said? Please. Much worse things going on in the world. Fat people are made fun of ALL the time, comedians make jokes about gay people and blacks and everything else. Get over it. Maybe cricket is a fag game… so what?? I'm sure gays make fun of sports that are super manly, I don't hear the straight guys whining and crying. Get. Over. It.
Last generation American's like Lewis and McCain are out of touch with a changing United States! I'd love to see them use a modern day teabag…LMAO!
i guess you can,t use the word f@gg@t or they censor you
you can use the words slut ;;tramp;; if you are talking about little girls
TO ZARRAFAKT: Yes, you're right; I just meant that if certain words(like "gay") are used, they are always taken out of context and taken to mean more than what they really are, and people get offended about everything! (the word Jerry used actually means "cigarette") and it's a double-standard: Perez thinks it's ok to call Jerry a "douche" but it's not ok for Jerry to use the word he did; I guess freedom of speech does't work both ways…
He should have said it was a British game, means the same thing right?
It IS a fag game though…!
And who cares what the deluded folks at GLAAD think/say/do.. what do they have to do with 'celebrity'..!?
Buahahahahahaha
OMG I CANT BELIEVE HE DID THAT. PLUS EVERYONE KNOWS WAT HE SAID ISNT TRUE. NOBODY CARES WAT HES SAYS ANYWAYS. LET HIM THINK THAT! THATS HIS PROB NOT OURS!
maybe he´s still in te closet & the only way to hide it it´s beeing such an …. hole!!!!
ONce Again you show what a HIPPOCrite you are. THis is Coming from a fag who WorshiPs a Chick who Puts out a song calLed Your SO Gay. Get a Grip , you silly little girl.
Re: former M fan – I see the truth in this. Very good point. I'm friend with a lot of gays/lesbians. And people shouldn't let shit get to them. This country is SUPPOSED to be a country with 'Freedom of Speech' - apparently, no matter how stupid they are. Jerry has a right to say what he wants & we (as others) have a right to change the channel & not listen. You see people….it's just that easy!
Re: MilleniumJane – Ha ha….it's so true ; )
Re: Dimples34 –
Right on. Besides, Fag, Queer, Queen, Lesbian, Gay, were all words that meant something else and were taken by the gay community and made in to their own word. Get off your soapbox, nobody cares that you are a polesmoker until you broadcast it to the world trying to make the straight people buy in.
No offense why do gay get so uptight and defensive at every little thing.God it was such a tame comment FFS.Gay are not a special needs case to be treated with kids gloves.Respect yes but all this angst over shit is truly pathetic.
Shouldn't Jerry be in an old folks home by now? Arrogant old whacko.
OMG what a loooooser!
Jerry Lewis is as queer as a $3 bill….who is he kidding, he just hasn't come out of the closet! That talk is a cover up people!!
people need to stop getting butthurt over every little word. its a WORD. who cares. why dont you, mr. hilton donate some of your millions to the NO on 8 campaign instead of telling others to vote no. put your money where your mouth is.

to the grave u fool.
Oh God get over it
