  1. 1

    lets hope he speaks up about this issue and others coughDARFURcough



  2. 2

    I would like to hear more what he has to say about it!



  3. 3

    First!



  4. 4

    I heart Barack.



  5. 5

    He'll think of something.



  6. 6

    STFU!!!



  7. 7

    This is a bunch of bullshit! Who gives a flying fuck if someone is gay, it should be who is best qualified for the job!!! It's so tiring with all the labels put on people. They just can't simply be a man or a woman anymore. It has to more than that. People have to be labeled african-american, homosexual, lesbian, hispanic, etc. It's so disgusting that this country has become like this. Basically what that article is saying (I only really scanned it) is that Obama needs to hire someone who is gay for a cabinet position. Who is to say that the gay people who are up for nomination are the best choice? And if he doesn't pick one, then again, he is anti-gay. I'm so tired of this shit!



  8. 8

    Post the fucking comments!



  9. 9

    SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY PEREZ



  10. 10

    this dude is gonna give in and FLAKE OUT.

    I hope, I am wrong, but I am positive he will disappoint the GLBT world.



  11. 11

    YAWN. There are far more important things going on. And aren't we close enough to hell already?



  12. 12

    im so fucking tired of this damn issue….if its meant to happen then it will



  13. 13

    Best he can do is have the Supreme nom be good.

    And the haters have the advantage in the short term but they will lose eventually.



  14. 14

    Baby steps!
    .
    Prayers for the affected families in Santa Barbara. Such devastation! Check out the LA Times website for photos.



  15. 15

    I am sure that Obama's personal position is pro-gay marriage, but he won't speak out because he is first and foremost a politician. The majority of this nation do NOT want the institution of marriage changed.



  16. 16

    As taken from the article
    Mr. Obama — who has said he opposes same-sex marriage as a Christian but describes himself as a “fierce advocate of equality” for gay men and lesbians".

    Something tells me his stance will be something similar to President Clinton's don't ask don't tell.



  17. 17

    Yea, speak up Mr. President. Why convince the people when you can just appoint someone to the Court that's going to tell us how it's going to be?



  18. 18

    Try thermacare for 3 dollars off by going to the website. Who knows, it might feel good on your lady parts.



  19. 19

    Obama has to be very careful since so many are ignorant. The man wants another four years people!



  20. 20

    Re: SWEETPIECE! – Yes, those fires are so tragic. I can't imagine what it would be to see everything you own go up in flames. The worst would be to lose all your pictures. I haven't heard yet, but have there been any fatalities? I heard either what the cause was if it was nature or arson.



  21. 21

    Seriously…. who cares????



  22. 22

    Re: MaudSilver

    EXACTLY!



  23. 23

    Found on ABC NEWS online:"Connecticut has enacted a bill after being ordered to allow gay marriages by the courts, and Vermont has passed a bill over the governor's veto.

    Massachusetts' high court has ordered the state to recognize gay marriages. In Rhode Island, a bill to legalize same-sex marriage has been introduced but is not expected to pass this year.

    Outside New England, Iowa is recognizing gay marriages on court orders. The practice was briefly legal in California before voters banned it.

    The word "Ordered" brings to mind some ugly pictures from the past. Blacks were ordered to stay in the back of the bus., for one.

    The "order" from a few liberal, and a few gay judges, does not make this a government "By the people". A few select privleges(sp) for some sounds like what happening.



  24. 24

    KEEP ON PEREZ! (MARIO) Perez and I are similar, both for equal rights! I praise him for posting all the Gay articles on this site! I think there should be more posts! Perez you have so much power and influence! KEEP ON! You are helping this movement!



  25. 25

    I hope he does to…but understand Perez that he has a lot on his plate and sadly gay rights are put on hold…but I believe he will act



  26. 26

    And if he doesn't? Will all your hopes and dreams be ruined???? Boo freaking hooo!!!



  27. 27

    Perez I love you but MAYBE now you know how it feels to have your issue ignored when it's so important to you!! I told you about the plight of the harp seals this year and you totally ignored it! I tried a few times. You create bad karma when you expect people to hear you but you ignore other's needs. Those babies were murdered on the ice with nowhere to run and most likely SKINNED alive but I guess that wasn't worth a mention this year. hmmmm.



  28. 28

    He is a fucking CELEBRITY.
    Him and his fucking welfare. Ugh.



  29. 29

    The only good thing about Obama is his stance on gay marriage, I am sure he will cave, though. It is kind of ironic that Perez is so outspoken on this issue- who the fuck would marry his ugly ass?



  30. 30

    Perez, What are your comments on the 46 year-old Gay mayor of Portland Oregon, who was recently accused of having sex with a minor? His response, the kid was just turned 18. They were known to have a relationship when the kid was 17. Wow! disgusting either way!! No defense, sorry. Sam Adams should tuck his tail under his gay azz & run home to…?



  31. 31

    I find it shocking to find on this Gay Man's Celebrity Blog so many comments telling him to shut it about rights that are given to some and denied others. The fact that these rights and issues effect Perez's life gives him the motivation to express his views on his forum. When anyone American is being treated less than another American strictly because of someones personal views religious or otherwise it should upset you. When anyone of us is being treated unfairly then all of us are being treated unfairly. We are all Equal and should be afforded the same rights and benefits. I suggest that some of you wake up and realize that your freedoms are just as at stake here. Who's rights are going to be next? We should all be struggling to make sure that every person is being treated fairly and equally.



  32. 32

    Haha, Perez is censoring the comments. Typical liberal action, freedom of speech only if it suits them.



  33. 33

    I didn't think my last comment would be posted



  34. 34

    Perez hilton, I just watched you on Larry King LIve and I think you are very rude and very mean. You disrespected Naggie and you were so rude to her. You were so mean to Ms Cali and you are jsut jealous. You wish you were as cute as her and wish you were a girl that is why yo pick on cute girls.

    You jealous old prank. go work out or something, find something else to do other than try to make everyone's life as miserable as yours!!!!!!!!!!



  35. 35

    I am surprised and grateful that my other comment WAS posted. Check it out!



  36. 36

    Perez,
    I don't think Obama needs to anything right now except work on the economy, health care, and protecting our country. He has left it up to the states to decide and as a sovereign union of States….I think it is best left in their hands as to whether or not to legalize gay marriage or same sex unions.

    You even made mention of that being an appropriate answer on Larry King, did you not? I thought I saw something to that effect?

    I do support gay men and women having the same rights under marriage as a heterosexual couple….HOWEVER, I don't think it would be politically WISE for our president and would be horribly distracting for him to dive into the middle of this issue right now. He is making gains, getting the support he needs…..I don' t think he needs to legislate something so CONTROVERSIAL that the states can handle.

    Just my OPINION.



  37. 37

    I'm gay but i believe there is way more important things he should be worrying about. Seeing my family struggle trying to keep there cars and house right now makes me so sad that i could careless about this gay rights crap right now. So many people loseing jobs and trying to get food on the table. That's i want him to be worrying about.



  38. 38

    Are you THAT stupid Perez??? You kept on talking about how he will be the best President ever and you clearly knew he was ANTI-GAY laws and that that topic was not his priority!
    now you wanna talk to him? Well let me remind you, you had your chance at that public letter you wrote unfortunately an 8 year old boy could have done a better job with it!
    Can't gay people get a better person to represent them? Perez is NOT doing a good job!



  39. 39

    please get rid of Perez Hilton A S A P



  40. 40

    who gives a fuck about it .
    theres more important issues than gays wanting to marry .



  41. 41

    Re: NicksName
    Um being ordered to follow the equal protections clauses and enforcing the Laws of our country is hardly being an activist judge it is called doing the job the right way and applying the law to citizens equally. Just because it does not follow your personal views about controlling someone else's life.



  42. 42

    I personally would rather have Obama working on taking our soldiers out of Irak than passing on gay laws or others! So far Obama just worked on his celebrity status and did NOTHING to take our troops out of Irak!



  43. 43

    Re: Its not your rights on the line – Connecticut has enacted a bill after being ordered to allow gay marriages by the courts, and Vermont has passed a bill over the governor's veto.

    Massachusetts' high court has ordered the state to recognize gay marriages. In Rhode Island, a bill to legalize same-sex marriage has been introduced but is not expected to pass this year.

    Outside New England, Iowa is recognizing gay marriages on court orders. The practice was briefly legal in California before voters banned it.

    Rights of American voters are being usurped by liberal judges. Will you stand up for this? Not if you're gay.



  44. 44

    God help you all. Obama will be the downfall of this generation. devil incarnate.



  45. 45

    I'm all for equal rights… but I think the President has bigger issues to deal with right now.



  46. 46

    someone get rid of this bastard called Perez Hilton. He is a mistake to nature



  47. 47

    What we have here is a President that wants to be ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE. When you govern like that, how can you take a stand on ANYTHING?
    He wants to be everybody's friend, therefore he is a friend to no one.



  48. 48

    fuck perez- enough already. don't forget what turned you into a media whore- your celebrity gossip. you do not have the dedication or knowledge to become a true activist- b/c you'd have to bag the red carpets to truly dedicate yourself to a cause. you aren't going to do that, so please, stick to what you know- print the fucking celeb shit. i mean, can't we at least hear about allison getting robbed on idols before it's ancient history you fuck.



  49. 49

    Re: NicksName

    Are you high? You are talking about your rights to vote on someone else's freedoms? Someone else's personal life? You are talking about how your rights to impose your views on Tax Paying American Citizens are being infringed upon?
    What about the rights that have been denied them? If you don't want Gay Marriage then don't get married to a Gay person it is as simple as that.



  50. 50

    Re: U_SUCK_DONKEY_DICKS – So sad! I don't know! Did you see the photos? Right in the middle of Santa Barbara! The Mission and the Botanical Garden are at risk. I hope they can get a handle on it tomorrow.



  51. 51

    Re: Kate27 – Oh, he's done plenty for taking the troops out of Iraq, he's putting them in Afghanistan. *note the sarcasm* At least people can't say he didn't keep that promise, right? UGH! I can't wait for 2012!



  52. 52


  53. 53

    I don't know if this is an issue our president is interested in commenting on, however necessary. It will happen either way. Just a matter of time.



  54. 54

    Re: SWEETPIECE! – I live in CA. not close to the fires, though, so it's pretty much been on the tv non stop. The winds have been bad in SoCal for about a week now, on and off. The sad thing is there is something onthe ballot for next week about funding for firefighters. If that doesn't pass, they are going to lose a shit-ton of money. These are the guys that are out there non-stop fighting these fires. It's so sad.



  55. 55

    He should resign for lying to the gays about same sex marriage. Go after him Perez for all he's worth. You go girl.



  56. 56

    Barack Obama is not talking about it, because he is AGAINST Gay Marriage!

    If you did your damn homework instead of being an ignorant Libtard you would have known this already.

    Obama is keeping his mouth shut because of Gay Fascists like YOU!

    Why give your honest opinion when you will be harrassed, demonized, and intimitated by Liberal Fascists and Gay Fascists???!!!

    If you don't march in lock step with a Libtard you will be spit on and disrespected.

    As a Libertarian I think Government recognized marriage should be BANNED for everyone.

    Any church that wants to marry straight or gay couples can do what they want.

    Straights and Gays can wear wedding rings and have civil unions, but not government recognized marriage anymore.

    That would take away the strawman for the Gay Fascists!



  57. 57

    Re: topper

    Obama never lied.

    Libtards like YOU believed what you wanted to believe in Barack Obama and did not EDUCATE yourselves.

    Obama was 100% honest about this during the election.

    You are just a typical uninformed Libtard.



  58. 58

    The President has much more important issues to worry about… Shut up about the Fucking Gay Marriage already! You're so damn self centered and annoying!



  59. 59

    perez get the hell off your gay ass soap box! we dont care and neither does Obama, you chose him for prez, so STFU~ you already knew he was against gay marriage, you wont change peoples views no matter what you do. Im begining to think you need to stop talking about celebs and just go on and make this a gay political agenda site, thats what you talk the most about these days anyway and it turns my stomach.



  60. 60

    Re: U_SUCK_DONKEY_DICKS – I LOVE THE FIRE FIGHTERS! I was so upset when they cut the funding to the stations in NY even after 9/11. Rest assured, I will be voting against any cuts to funding for these modern day heros. Sorry to be cliche but where would we be without people like that. The rescuers!
    .
    BTW, I'm sure you know I'm an OBAMA MAMA! LOL!
    .
    We can share our love of CA!



  61. 61

    Re: JereFirah – ewww can you get your nasty brown nose out the crack of perez ass please? your stinking up this board.



  62. 62

    Obama doesn't care about gays and lesbians any more than he cares about the little people he says will not be influenced by his raise in taxes. He promised to raise taxes on the most wealthy which would quote on quote no effect 95% of us. The problem is that any time you raise taxes on one group in society, it will impact the others. For example, his proposed tax increase on companies that contribute to pollution pay a higher tax. I agree with it in theory but here is the problem. With these companies already getting higher taxes and stress because of the economy, if you tax them more, they have to make a profit, so guess what goods and service prices go up. So, all us little people pay more and that's just one of his tax programs. It's time for equal rights, but as someone else pointed out here, Obama is trying to get re-elected and if it isn't written on a teleprompter by his handlers, he won't say it. So, I am sure they vetoed any gay rights talk. All 50 states will pass legislation before he will do anything or say anything. At some point, all the people who drank the Obama Kool-aid, are going to realize he's just another empty politician just working a job and not making a difference. He was created by the press and ultimately he will have to tick them off, which he eventually will, then he will realize he should have stayed true to his liberal roots and stand up for equal rights.



  63. 63

    SIGH. Fuck your fake messiah. It was right there on his own website that he is AGAINST gay marriage. Google it. He's no pacifist, either. He just bombed Afganistan and civilians were killed. Where's the masses that criticized Bush? It's strangely quiet out there. I'm not happy with Bush either, but this lack of criticism is clearly a double-standard.



  64. 64

    Re: Its not your rights on the line – Umm, making a whole state abide by a law becuz you think it's cool & awesome…also doesn't abide by the constitution. Read up son.

  65. k-lee says – reply to this


    65

    Obama is against gay marriage and you know it.

  66. Zen says – reply to this


    66

    it is honestly getting a little weird now with you constantly forcing all of this on people..



  67. 67


  68. 68

    He needs to speak up for gays. Seriously we all fuckin voted for him then he just ignores us? It's like what happened with Ronald Regan and the AIDS epidemic. He just ignored it all and pretended it wasn't there.



  69. 69

    He isnt going to speak up because he is against it. I dont understand one thing though Perez. freedom of speach right? so why are you hating on someone who just has different views than you, you act as if everyone has to believe what you believe. i am personally proud of miss california for standing up for what she believes no matter what.. what are you teaching people by dissing her for doing so? dont stand up for what you believe because people will hate you? you made me lose alot of respect for you when you did that. everyone has their own views and is entitled to think differently than you do.



  70. 70

    Re: Its not your rights on the line – Following ones knowledge of human existance, behavior, and expressing a knowledge of law, as we know it, would qualify him or her in my mind.



  71. 71

    Dear Perez,
    Learn how your government works.
    Love,
    Millions of mature adults.
    (The saddest part of all this is, most gays don't even support YOU because YOU give them a bad name. And that 's the truth).



  72. 72

    Re: Its not your rights on the line – Tell ya what..I won't get married to a gay person if you don't…after all..same rights?



  73. 73

    We need health insurance DESPERATELY out here even though we went to college and grad school, have working in high profile jobs for years, and are good-looking.

    Then we get to a bunch of other stuff that needs to be fixed.



  74. 74

    ditto Disturbed….ditto



  75. 75

    Re: NicksName
    The Constitution applies equally to all American Citizens Exactly the same way. The Law is supposed to be enforced by the courts. The Equal Protections Clauses and Constitutions applies to all not just Straight people. The high courts decide if a new bill, amendment, prop is against the State/Federal Constitutions and if it is then it is struck down if it is brought before it. As the case in Iowa and will hopefully be the case in CA.
    I would suggest you read up on the subject as you are sadly misinformed.



  76. 76

    Listen, my boyfriend came out on Valentine's Day and had sex with my gay friend. Go miss california. Being gay does not give you the right to be a douche. I used to love gay people but all of the ones I met sucked. I hope you and your immature, sex loving, bitchy culture get over yourselves. Straight people out here are struggling to get married to nice guys let alone gay ones coming along and finding each other on our time. Come out when your twelve, you always knew you were gay (born with it) why does it take some of you till your twenty. Grow some balls and tell people, instead of thinking its ok because your gay. And perez my gay boyfriend was wayyyyyyyyy hotter than you will ever be. Welcome to our world. It ain't easy to get married when your straight but at least we dont blame the president for having a bad personality.



  77. 77

    Re: NicksName

    That is just foolish. The right to marry who you decide to marry as long as the person is a consenting adult is the issue and has been found so by the court.
    The elected officials have passed it in another state and are the voice of the people.
    Your other post I didn't exactly follow…..



  78. 78

    obama is against gay marriage that is what he said all throughout his campaign…get over it perez..not everyone has to agree with you on this issue…stop shoving it in our face you fucking hypocrite..you should just stick to celebrities i liked it better that way



  79. 79

    P I think this is important too but I miss the good old days where you actually found time to post and it was actually about celeb gossip, remember? Those were good times. Use your celebrity to sway fans on a different website and make this CELEBRITY GOSSIP.



  80. 80

    Re: NicksName
    – Tell ya what..I won't get married to a gay person if you don't…after all..same rights?

    The same rights would be if you don't get married then I wont get married period, not equal is having to follow your personal view of who I can marry. If nobody gets married then we have the same rights but if you can get married to the person you chose but I can't then it is not the same right at all…Get it???



  81. 81

    Re: Kate27 – there are no troops in "Irak"…
    however, in Iraq… there's quite a few there…
    and i agree COMPLETELY with post # 40.
    i'm pretty sure i want my president worrying about the STATE OF THE ECONOMY or HOMELAND SECURITY instead of this. and why are you ranting about this anyway, mario?
    WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO MARRY YOU?!
    you revolting hog. i sincerely loathe you …



  82. 82

    Help me. Has this become a 'gay website'? and I didn't realize. Okay I did sorta of with all of Mario Laundry mats gay wishes but really am I in the wrong place. While I think that gay/homosexuals should have equal rights, I'm not trying to hangout at a gay site. Am I? HELP!



  83. 83

    Re: jebjeb – THANK YOU! Perez, I love ya but we get it! People adore your site because of your humorous doodles and approach to celebrity news! Give it a rest. Who are people more sympathetic to, the good humored victim or the nagging shrew?! Start getting those posts out there sooner. Please.



  84. 84

    Yeah Obama

    N, please!



  85. 85

    Re: Its not your rights on the line – I've read it. And I agree that we all have the same rights. That being said, gays are asking for rights that don't exist in this constitution. In effect, they are asking for "special rights".
    I don't have the right to marry who I want, for instance, if she's my brothers daughter.Even if shes the same sex.
    I also can't marry my grandmother,even though that could get me a world of benefits similar to those wanted by gay rights groups. get my drift?
    Sometimes we shouldn't marry, and sometimes we can't…thankgoodness.

    Hey Mario, I think Prez Obama has more pressing issues on his plate–namely the China-South America and Taliban-Pakistan problem and the still-lagging recession. It is a state thing–the same-gender issue. He'll come to that in time, but meanwhile, let's hope to high heaven we aren't entering World War III or the Dirty 30's by the end of the year, m'okay? So yeah, put your priorities in place Mario. I think world peace and secure jobs are a bit more important to Obama at the moment than speaking out for or against same-gender marriages.



  90. 90

    i just saw you on cnn and i've come to the conclusion that you are a bigger douche bag than John Edwards. you deserve to win the biggest douche of the universe award just like edwards did in that episode of south park.

    congratulations.
    this has nothing to do with this article, it has to do with the way you presented yourself on national television.

    ps, you don't know everything.
    and you're not right about everything either.



  91. 91

    Some of you people make me feel physicaly sick with the disgusting comments that you come out with you should be ashamed of yourselfs.
    Who cares if the majority of people in America are against gay marriage? they should have no right in voting against peoples rights. America should get with the rest of the civilised world and implement rights for all memebers of society not just some.
    Europe has marriage and civil union laws and society hasn't crumbled yet infact no body really gave a damn. someones basic rights like being able to decide their dying partners wishes should not be left to voters to decide its a right all humans should be able to have!



  92. 92

    We have more important things to worry about then if men can boink each others assholes in legal wedding bliss



  93. 93

    It would be fuckin AWESOME if a lesbian was on the Supreme Court!

    Obama opposes same sex marriages as a christian.

    Lots of people feel this way and you just have to accept it, a lot of folk aren't comfortable with it.
