Homophobe Recast

Filed under: TV News

Bye, bitch! Serves you right!

We mentioned yesterday about the douchebag actor on the Young and the Restless who refused to do a man-on-man kiss. He thought the shift was uncharacteristic and he held meetings with the heads of the program to get it changed.

When they didn't, Chris Engen up and quit.

Don't let the door hit you in your fat ass, buddy!

With integrity to stand by their storyline and two of their openly gay cast members, the show let the bastard walk and quickly hired a new fella: Michael Muhney from Veronica Mars

We wish Michael a lot of luck and hope Chris likes his new job as a kid's party clown!

      Nobody should be forced to do gay love scenes if they dont want to.



    2. 2

      The guy doesn't want to kiss another man and you call him a homophobe??

      Ok I agree it is part of his job as an actor: you have to be willing to do whatever the producers ask you to do, but I think calling him homophobic is way out of the line. I am a girl and the fact that I don't think I could make out with another girl, so does that make me a homophobe when I am a strong supporter of gay rights??!? You make me sick Perez.



    3. 3

      woah perez, thats a little harsh…so what if he didn't want to do a man on man kiss? that doesn't mean he's a homophobe….maybe hes just not comfortable enough with his sexuality to do that kind of thing



    4. 4

      Ok, I have no problem with homosexuality and think gays and lesbians should have the same rights as same sex couples. BUT, to rip this guy apart just because he didnt want to make out with another guy isnt fair is it? I mean, isnt that just his opinion and his personal choice. The same personal choice that gay and lesbian couples are fighting so hard to have recognized. Come on Perez, not fair…..



    5. 5

      Nobody should be forced to do gay love scenes.



    6. 6

      who did he play on veronica mars?



    7. 7

      OMG. Isn't there anything else to write about on this site instead of stuff about homophobes!?! It's getting so old.



    8. 8

      Perez I'm really starting to hate gay people, your stupid posts are nothing but HETEROPHOBIC. The guy had his moral standards and values and he surely can't be forced into a gay scene, he doesn't have to and no one should bully him for following his values.



    9. 9

      Like I said Perez=H8. You are such a hypocrite!



    10. 10

      I read on another site that this is NOT the reason he's leaving.

      Let's get all the info before we judge.

      And let's hope California does the right thing on Prop 8. Equal means EQUAL for all.



    11. 11

      So what if he doesn't want to kiss another guy. That's his personal decision. You are douche-bag for always calling out people with beliefs different then your own. I think its great that he stuck to his beliefs and didn't kiss the guy instead of bowing down to the program heads. You are a fucking dickhead Perez.



    12. 12

      Just because he doesn't want to kiss a dude, doesn't make him a homophobe. You're such a loser Perez!!



    13. 13

      dude - if you didn't want to kiss a guy- why take the role of a gay charachter?



    14. 14

      You need fucking therapy buddy. I so abhor you, and oh by the way, so does the rest of the world. OMG you are the biggest FOOL in America. Look, everyone's laughing at you: hahahahahahahahahahahaha as you think you are the champion of the gay cause and Prop * while meanwhile everyone hates you more every day - IF they care

      What went wrong in your life that you became such an insufferable ass hole?

      You are weak.



    15. 15

      It's his choice to quit if he doesn't want to do a gay scene, I don't really see why he would quit over a kiss, especially since he's an actor and they are paid to act out things that aren't real, but still his choice.

      Y&R hasn't really given a reason why he quit, but they replaced him in a nanosecond, which points to the probability that Engen and the show were not seeing eye to eye for a while.

      I don't know how smart it is to leave the number one rated soap, but I wish him luck.



    16. 16

      god perez its his choice doing a one on one kiss that doesn't mean he's a homephobe fuck you are getting really annoying… pushing so many of your fans away bye perez



    17. 17

      Damn Perez I love you but sometimes you can be annoying! I love gay people but if someone is not wanting to kiss the same sex because of there beliefs/feelings ext…they should not be judged by that…If they wanted you to make out with a girl who is not your sexual preference and you didn't want to because it wasn't who you were then I am sure it would be fine right? Yes he is an actor but if someone feels uncomfortable doing something then who cares! I am sure if Natalie Portman refused a movie role because she did not want to bare her breasts you would praise her or some shit! Its the same thing!



    18. 18

      You're a limp dick, Mario. So he didn't want to kiss another man, big fucking deal. Jesus, aren't any of the rest of us entitled to have any personal rights or opinions?



    19. 19

      Good riddence.

      You are such a hypocrite. You're whole site is based on your opinions and FREE SPEECH, but when someone else voices their opinions you get pissed. You wouldn't be saying this if Neil Patrick Harris said he didn't want to have to kiss girls. You are so two faced.



    21. 21

      i hope he doesn't try to go on unemployment. i don't think he deserves it. he must not be a very dedicated actor. what a spoilt little brat. i'm sure some christian network will snap him up and make him their posterboy. maybe he can co-host a jesus pagaent with carrie "hate" prejean.



    22. 22

      Perez, we all know that you are a frustrated actor. I highly doubt that you will wanna play a straight latino man in a soap opera and kiss a girly girl in front of the camera.



    23. 23

      NO PEREZ HE'S NOT GAY.AND U CAN'T DRAW CUM ON HIS MOUTH!!!!



    24. 24

      i don't know why your calling him a homophobe just because he doesn't want to kiss another guy. it's like an actor not wanting to be in a nude scene.



    25. 25

      PEREZ IS THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE. GET A LIFE. WE DON"T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE OF YOUR ACCUSATIONS. YOUR HAVE SO MUCH AGAINST STRAIGHT PEOPLE. TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF PEREZ.

    28. 28

      Im all for gay rights and usually support Perez's claims, but i don't see how not wanting to kiss a guy makes you a homophobe, equal rights means rights for EVERYONE! Miss Cali - homophobe, this guy - straight.



    29. 29

      Perez, you're just stupid, out of line, and a little insane if you think it's a probem that this non gay guy doesn't want to kiss a man. He doesn't want to kiss another guy, what's wrong with that? This doesn't make him homophobic, it makes him not want to kiss on another man. It could be against his religion, morals,relationship, anything. Sheesh, your trying to get everyone to accept the gay lifestyle" agenda is just getting out of hand, and unruly. Quite annoying, and your behvior is scaring me, seriously.



    30. 30

      Re: Are you blind? – it didn't start out that way, his character went that way afterward



    31. 31

      Tut Tut Perez…why be so hypocritcal ? This guy is not Miss California.



    32. 32

      While I am against homophobia, I don't think that anyone should be forced to participate in a sexual situation that they don't feel comfortable with. That he didn't want to kiss another man, himself, does not necessarily imply that he hates homosexuals. Without more information, I personally could not judge the man based on what I know of this situation. Yes, I hope for a day when there is true equality, and where people don't act based on hate. However, my hating this man would be no different from him hating someone else. Hate is hate. It's important that we not be hipocrites when throwing stones.

      Perez — don't lose your integrity please! It is important to support gay rights but no one should be forced to sexually interact in any way with a member of the same or opposite sex if they do not feel comfortable doing so. I hope/ look forward to your reply to this series of comments.



    35. 35

      As much as I think you are being a moron Perez..there is nothing wrong with the actor not wanting to kiss another man..if he does not want to he does not have to.

      I do like Michael..he is a wonderful actor.



    36. 36

      Re: hawt bytch – you really are a hawt bytch! well said!



    37. 37

      If he doesnt want to kiss a guy he shouldnt have to, it doesnt make him a homophobe……just not that way 'inclined'



    38. 38

      The shift in the character is uncharacteristic and they writers are just trying to bring in ratings like every other struggling soap. Maybe if you watched the show Perez instead of just talking shit about the actor and other people you'd know that this is coming out of left field.



    39. 39

      That's it! Last time i read your "heterophobic' site. I thought this was supposed to be a gossip site, not some freaking witch hunt by an insecure little bitch! You give gays a bad name. Thank god my gay friends don't act like victims but instead handle narrow mindedness with class and dignity unlike you! Good luck in the future, you'll need it cuz you are turning your own fans against you with your rants!



    40. 40

      Re: Are you blind?

      because the character has never been gay and this is new and totally out of left field.



    41. 41

      so many things wrong with this:
      FIRST OF ALL, YOU CALLING ANYONE FAT??? IS THAT A FUCKING JOKE???



    42. 42

      you PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT saying he was recast when really HE QUIT, forcing them to recast him!!!!
      LIAR!!!!!!



    43. 43

      I'm on the fence here. NOT because he couldn't do a gay kiss scene, but because he's an actor, and as an actor you put aside your own prejudices and opinions in favor for the character. But I don't agree with you Perez. He has a right to quit without the hate.



    44. 44

      Since when is it homophobic to reject sexual harassment in the workplace, or sexual exploitation?
      He's an actor, a living, breathing, sentient being. He's not a prop or a toy.
      I salute this man. It's good to see an actor who still knows how to think.
      Just look at what happened to poor River Phoenix.



    45. 45

      Perez:
      "With integrity to stand by their storyline and two of their openly gay cast members, the show let the bastard walk and quickly hired a new fella: Michael Muhney from Veronica Mars"

      With integrity to stand by his own beliefs, he chose not to kiss another man. This does not make him a homophobe and is no different then the producers standing by their wantings. Perez, you are suck a "Straight Basher" that it is not even funny. Quit being so defensive over all this gay shit. Jo jack off to riki martin so you can loosen up.



    46. 46

      PEREZ, now you are all about equality. Everyone should have rights, and be treated fairly with respect. This guy probably likes gay guys, and believes in equal rights, however it is unfair, and wrong to push those things on him if he does not want it for himself. He should not be called names for that. You know that. I've been a big fan of yours for a long time, and this is my first post ever. Getting mad at him over this is like getting mad at a woman who's boss just required her to be naked at work. Love you, but this is unfair.



    47. 47

      Question: Does Perez make money from all these posts and all the browsing on his website?? If so, Im pretty sure he's laughing at all the people taking shit about him because he's winning in the end. I can't stand Perez but I like keeping updated on all the celeb stuff. (I can't figure out why I care about that crap…ugh)



    48. 48

      If I went into work tommorrow and my boss wanted me to passionately kiss a male collegue I would tell him to fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!! Does this mean I am homophobic? No it means I have the balls to say fuck you im my own person. To be honest with you I think this whole gay crusade you think you are championing is really sad you dont actually realise you are doing more harm. Why didnt you ask to replace the dude on the show then you could show all of the world what a self absorbed twat you really are.



    49. 49

      PLEASE BITCH GOOD FOR HIM IM SURE HIS CAREER WILL FUCKING FLOURISH-
      remind you of anyone else??
      MAYBE CARRIE PREJEAN??
      YOU DUMB FUCK YOU WILL NEVER LEARN!!!
      RIGHT NOW HES SAYING THANKS FOR THE PUBLICITY PIG!!!



    50. 50

      I think this is incredibly ridiculous of you Perez.
      You want equality and acceptance of gays and lesbians in the community but you chastise people for their own personal choices,which might not have ANYTHING to do with being a "homophobe".
      If YOU can have your own rights,choices,standards and opinions why can't anyone else?
      Why do you make it so personal?

      51

      You shouldn't be homophobephobe :) You should respect that people don't want to be gay, just as hetero people should respect that some people are gay. But you can't force someone to kiss another guy, and when he does not want to he's gay. That's just stupid..



    52. 52

      That's pretty harsh and uncalled for. He has the right to not want to kiss a guy if he so pleases. It's the same thing as an actor/actress not wanting to do a nude scene, or refusing to do something that they are not comfortable with. By accusing him of being a homophobe and getting mad because he refuses to kiss a man, you are acting just like those people that oppose gay marriage and equality. You have stooped to their level.



    53. 53

      WTF is up with you, Perez? Are you on your period or what? I'm as pro-gay, pro-anyadulthumanwhowantstoshouldbeabletomarryanyotheradulthuman, but you are starting to get on my last god damned nerve with your judgmental bullshit and you militant, my way or go fuck yourself attitude. Way to alienate people who might have been just hesitant or curious about the cause. And talk about burning your bridges. Why anyone in Hollywood would talk to you is beyond me.

    55. 55

      Okay, he should have stuck with the job. BUT a genuinely heterosexual man who has apparently no conflicted feelings, becoming gay out of the blue IS uncharacteristic. That being said stranger things happen to characters on soap. They get possessed, become kidnapping psychos, etc. So he was scared to kiss men, that doesn't mean he is a gay bashing homophobe, it just means he hates kissing dudes, I don't think you slandering him for being grossed out by kissing guys is fair, AT ALL. Straight actors turn down gay parts all the time in Hollywood.



    56. 56

      Re: Are you blind?

      Thats the thing, he wasn't gay when he took the part and then his character suddenly switched teams.



    57. 57

      Actors walk away from parts that they are not comfortable with all the time. Some women walk off a picture because they're asked to do nudity. Others, like Dakota Fanning, don't want to do a role that requires a shaved head or other physical demand. So what? Why is this guy now a homophobe for exercising the same choice over his role?!? You know, most real homophobes hate gays because they are afraid that gays will force their lifestyle and values on them. You are just proving them right by preaching violence and intolerance against those who aren't politically correct in your book. I truly hope you are subject to as much intolerance and prejudice as you have subjected others to with your lisping vitriol.

      you need to lighten up - just because someone isn't comfortable kissing another man doesn't mean they are a homophobe! i'm not a homophobe and i wouldn't want to kiss another girl. just because he is an actor doesn't mean he should be forced to do gay love scenes. you are extremely childish perez.



    61. 61

      Re: JayeBoy As an actor, you are contracted for a certain position. He was cast as a straight male. As an actor - you have the choice for your roles. Ben Stiller signs on for another fart comedy, the director hands him a script for a military thriller… that's not only not the part he signed on for, but a breech of contract. I don't want to kiss people with gold in their mouths - doesn't that make me a dentalaphobe?



    62. 62

      When your opinions affect his rights…..I thought that was the speech. I think you need to be cast in a play to find out Miss California is your love interest.



    63. 63

      Re: Kate27_haters make me stronger :) – i totally agree with you. perez needs to grow up.



    64. 64

      right now he's saying:
      "THAT'LL DO PIG, THAT'LL DO."
      awww.



    65. 65

      Everyone who is talking about him sticking by his morals —-just because he didn't want to kiss a man does not mean he has religous problems with it. My friend is the most supportive (walks in parades etc) loving brother to a gay man and he has said the idea of kissing a guy grosses him the eff out. Get it he isn't saying that gays shouldn't kiss other guys just that he would barf if he did. People are allowed to have their own sexual orientation. Just because he is an actor doesn't mean he doesn't have a gag reflex.



    66. 66

      Perez shut the fuck up.. you have NO right to be dictating peoples morals to them.And you are a very bad example of being gay since you are a class A bigot and bitch yourself.



    67. 67

      no one should be forced to do love scenes if they don't want to

      that's unethical



    68. 68

      Remember when Perez didn't suck? Yeah, me neither.

      Need to find an outlet for all this rage you have toward people who don't want to support the gay mafia buddy.

      homophobia is not a bad thing….it help to keep a stiff dick from going up your ass



    70. 70

      So what kind of storyline is that where they would suddenly turn a straight character gay anyway?



    71. 71

      You're a militant heterophobe, Perez. I'm getting really sick of you. I rarely even come here anymore, and I used to check this place everyday. Good riddance.



    72. 72

      What I don't get is why someone should be obligated then ostracized because of their sexual preference. Perez, if you were forced to be a straight man on your blog, it would bother your conscious. Being an American is to stand by your beliefs, and those are respectfully his. Yesterday you commented on how it's his job as an actor. In the past you've gotten on Miley Cyrus, and how she's trying to be too grown up, slamming her photos? Isn't she just "doing her job" as an actress? You bullied her down till the date she agreed with same sex marriages, now, zero comments about her. Sounds like you just try to destroy those who aren't Gay and don't agree with you, outs those who you think are. Your racist rants are getting out of hand. I used to enjoy your blog, but now you take it upon yourself to try and bash us who are not Gay.



    73. 73

      PEREZ– You are everything you claim to HATE. First, You are the biggest famewhore out there!! Second, you are a sell out and a traitor to your own kind–Because for weeks the gay and lesbian community has called on you to stop this HETRO-PHOBIC kick you're on because the backlash has been overwhelming– and YET here you go again– There are some people who think that guy on guy action is gross– you may not like that, but once again, (dumbazz) they are ENTITLED to their opinion. And of course you don't care that people are writing on your blog expressing this to you and asking you to stop because of the harm its doing– all you care is that people log on so you can make $$$$ even if it's at the expense of GAY RIGHTS!!!–Sell out!!!



    74. 74

      Um, yeah, I don't think this means he's satan. I'm all for gay rights, gay marriage, BUT I don't think that everyone has to be comfortable doing things with the same sex to NOT be considered a homophobe, actor or not. He very well could be, and that would be awful, but no one knows. It is part of the job, and he was let go for not being able to do it, so what more do you want?



    75. 75

      Perez hates straight people and will lose their support with his straight bashing agenda. I think people are going to get tired of you soon.

      77

      I believe every individual has the right to chose who they want to be intimate with, whether it's acting or not. I don't think it's fair to call him a homophobe because he does not want to kiss another man. If you don't want to kiss a woman, I'm not going to call you a hetereophobe. That's nonsense.



    78. 78

      Does refusing to kiss another man constitute homophobia? Or does he just not want to kiss another man? I think it is his right to choose. although I am in favor of Gay rights etc. I am also in favor of freedom of choice. Don't be the Gay ayatollah Perez, The world does not revolve around being gay.



    79. 79

      i am very gay friendly and i would not do a lesbian scene. that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, i wouldn't want to do it? he's not homophobic, he just doesn't want to do it and quit the show…what's so wrong with that??



    80. 80

      Actor or not, he does not HAVE to do what he doesn't feel is right for HIM. Screw that…good for him that he up and quit! Way to go Chris! And it doesn't mean he's a homophobe!!!!!! Although there are a few of them, but there are some actors that don't do nudity, so they get stand-ins. Why couldn't they do that in this case?????



    81. 81

      Wow! Perez, that's like saying you don't like horses because Donald Trump told you you had to suck a horse if you want to be a Miss America judge. I guess that's not a good comparison because you probably do like horses and you would suck one if Donald asked you to.



    82. 82

      just because you like to kiss guys doesn't mean he has to. If he would rather miss out on an opportunity on a primetime show because he's uncomfortable, then that's his decision, and there's in nothing wrong with it. all's you do is talk good about gay people and bad about anyone who isn't gay enough. pretty sad and intolerant, for someone who wants others to be tolerant of his lifestyle.



    83. 83

      wow Perez…does everything in your life have to do with your sexuality?? That is so shallow and pathetic. I would assume there is more to you than that, but at this moment it's only a assumption.
      Your intolerant of those not comfortable with gay marriage…your intolerant of straight people that don't want to kiss a man. It's true that those that rant at others for their issues, have those issues themselves and your a perfect example of that.
      and before you start calling me names…I'm gay, and there are PLENTY of men I wouldnt want to kiss!
      I'm just getting tired of the so-called "tolerant" being the most intolerant. Maybe this is the reason that people in california keep voting against gay marriage? Their tired of being called haters and bigots by haters and bigots!



    84. 84

      An actor is not an slave. He is being paid to do a job. If he doesn't want to do it, he is free to do his wll, like the producers are free to replace him. Is like an actress refusing to do a sex scene….Are you going to call her asexual or frigid or some stupid shit like that, just because she refuse to go naked. The same thing with this actor. He obviously felt unconfortable doing a kiss with another man, that doesn't make him a homophobic. And Perez you know that. But you love to use labels to described people that do not act the wa you like.
      That shows who you are. A not very intelligent and compassionate person!!!!



    85. 85

      WELL, what about Shakespeare? Do you realize that the noble history of the acting profession goes back to a time when ALL the roles of women were played by men? So any man-on-woman kisses, in the great bygone days of Shakesperean history, were ALL man-on-man kisses!

      in Europe, men kiss all the time… STRAIGHT ones. Their society isn't homophobic as ours, and they aren't so hung up on associating "manliness" with sexuality. You can be macho and manly and still kiss another guy, ok Ameritards???

      Right up to the present day with Robert Pattison in the Dali movie, this is part of acting… whether it is YOUR sexuality or not, you kiss the person in the script… does everyone always have to be compatible in real life? IT'S ACTING, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

      Perez is 100% correct IF it is true that the whole reason for him leaving is the gay storyline and gay kiss… the point is that he is an ACTOR… gay actors have to kiss girls, lesbian actresses have to kiss boys… it is ACTING! Why does it not work the same way for this guy? Oh, because maybe he is not "comfortable" with his sexuality, as one commenter put it? Well, too fucking bad. maybe his discomfort is the knowledge that he might like it.

      He's not a homophobe just because he doesn't want to kiss another man. He handled it immaturely but fuck you shouldn't be picking on him so much (while you're also handing him more fame, dumbass) for something that has nothing to do with you or gay people.

      You're so hypocritical Perez. Just because I wouldn't kiss another woman, acting or not, doesn't mean I'm a homophobe. Stop being an assclown…

      Who could take you serious when you spew shit like this??



    88. 88

      YOU ARE SUCH A HATEFUL BITCH PEREZ. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO NOH8 ASSHOLE? NOBODY SHOULD BE FORCED TO KISS ANYBODY THAT IS A CHOICE AND YOU ANE A WORTHLESS PIEICI OF SHIT UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.



    89. 89

      I'm all for human rights, equality, etc. and Pride. But he shouldn't be forced into doing something he isn't comfortable with, and I don't think he is homophobic for not doing so. I actually disagree with you for once Perez, and I'm one of your biggest fans.

      Perez, while I agree there's a lot of homo hate in the world, Chris Engen most likely didn't quit because his character was gay.

      Let me give you a little background on his character, Adam Wilson.

      When he first came on the show, he had a little crush on his brother's wife Phylis, and then he met Heather and they've had many scenes where they're having sex! He showed NO indication of being a homosexual and suddenly they're going to change him? Up until this week even, he's been obviously straight!

      He probably quit because he's a GOOD actor (For a soap opera at least) and thinks it's a terrible story line.

      It's Y&R's desperation for a gay character that did it. I'm disappointed to see such a good actor being let go.



    91. 91

      being 100% cool about homosexuality, i think you take shit way too far. if someone's not gay or doesn't agree with being gay, you put them down. for fucks sake.. get over yourself you z-lister.



    92. 92

      As a gay man and an avid fan of Y&R, I am in total opposition to your claim that Chris Engen is a homophobe. That is utterly ridiculous! If you were to do your research, you would know that the character Chris Engen plays (Adam Wilson AKA Victor Newman, Jr.) has been straight throughout his appearance the show. As a matter of fact, his character has been sleeping with the same girl throughout his stint on the show. It makes absolutely no sense that the writers of this show would now try to make his character gay. That is not an accurate representation of how we as homosexuals come to be gay. As a matter of fact, it further leads the general public to believe that we are choosing to be gay and that we can turn it on and off like a light switch. At least for me and probably the vast majority of homosexuals, being gay is something that I have been since birth or at least as young as I can remember having feelings of attraction toward another person in a sexual manner. I am all for having a gay couple on Y&R, but for God's sake have them come on the show as gay, not being straight at one time and then deciding to become gay. I applaud Chris for having the balls to stand up against the show for what is right for his character even if it means losing his job. And Perez, you need to stop with the name calling and check your facts before whirling accusations and calling people names. You make us all (homosexuals) look bad!



    93. 93

      1- who the hell are you to call anybody fat?
      2- are you using fat as a slur coz that's weightist bitch.
      3- you are such a hate monger and a hypocrite to call anyone on their discrimination. you are a disgrace stick to gossiping asswipe.



    94. 94

      Perez, you are getting very powerful in terms of your effect on the media, and this can sometimes backfire…
      .
      (hmm… we have heard some "blind items about American Idol, and how they feared a backlash against "Glambert" because of your aggressive coverage of his sexuality… we love you Perez but look what happened!)
      .
      I'm just sayin… maybe you should have a PR person to consult with about some of this stuff… a gay PR person of course!!!! because it would suck if this guy became famous now because of you, and all of a sudden he is another "hero' to the right-wingers.



    95. 95

      Okay, here is something you need to realize. Homophobia is a fear of homosexuals. FEAR. Not a lack of tolerance for, or dislike of, or a not wanting to participate in. I strongly support gay rights but I would be uncomfortable making out with a girl on screen because I am straight. It's a very personal and intimate thing, even though it's acting. You need to get your shit straight and stop being a whiny bitch. AND STOP MAKING EVERY OTHER FUCKING POST SOMETHING ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY! WE GET IT, YOU'RE GAY!

      And no one gives a shit.

      Do tell!

      Re: **Me**Luv**Gaga** – but they have the right not to do it and not be called a hetereophobe. if it is uncomfortable and nauseating for a gay man or woman to kiss a member of the opposite sex, then don't do it. but don't do it then be passive aggressive when a strait person doesn't want to kiss a member of the same sex. the level of anger that perez spewed out and you have spewed out does not seem to logically relate to the situation at hand. nothing that egregious, in fact, nothing egregious at all, seems to have taken place. maybe you're angry because you felt like you had to kiss a member of the opposite sex once, or maybe you're angry at the mistreatment you've received in your life for simply being who you are. and that is totally valid and you have a right to be angry. but it doesn't seem rational or reasonable to be so angry because somebody chooses not to kiss a member of the same sex. that is a perfectly reasonable choice for any individual to make and i think both you and perez are displacing your anger, and in effect, actually hurting the cause for gay equality and gay rights by unnecessarily alienating people.



    98. 98

      Good ridden to the homophobe. Many gay and lesbian actors were forced to kiss straight actors, and they conformed to the straight mainstream.



    99. 99

      SO HE DOESN'T WANT TO KISS A BOY!!!!!!!!!! BFD! I DON'T KNOW ANY STRAIGHT GUY WHO WOULD ENJOY IT. GET OFF YOUR FUCKING HIGH HORSE PEREZ. HOPE HE FINDS ANOTHER JOB WHERE THEY WON'T MAKE HIM KISS ANYONE HE DOESN'T WANT TOO. AND TO THINK ~~ I WATCH YR. hummm



    100. 100

      You really are mean spirited aren't you Perez. I'm glad I'm not gay because I wouldn't want you speaking for me.

      Why not do something constructive for society? Your little plugs for worthy causes don't quite cut it especially when you like to be the downfall of someone.
