Using Our 'Power' For Good

main.jpg pic_26.jpg

Perez is truly and deeply honored and humbled to not only make Out magazine's annual "Power List" this year, but….

We are up from #43 last year to #26 this year, and….

They said some really nice things!

We are inspired to keep on doing our thing and keep lending our voice to what we feel is right.

Hopefully YOU are doing your part too!

      Wow Perez, you mean they are being nice and encouraging you to succeed? Too bad you can't do the same to Kate Gosselin, in fact you believe she has no right to fame because she has no talent. Exactly what is YOUR talent? (Dressing like Liberace is not considered a talent).



    4. 4

      I love gay people and wish for equal rights for everyone. Someday though. It will take a HUGE POPULATION vote for equal rights. I don't think that will happen in our lifetime unfortunately.



    5. 5

      atta boy, perez! keep on going!



    6. 6

      Boy do I feel the heat coming… LMAO!!! Love to get a few idiots all pissed.. proves the power of the word!!!! BAM… Peace to all……..



    7. 7

      congrats but why do you always make stupid faces?



    8. 8

      ….I'm trying to figure out how you used your power for good exactly…I mean do people READ the things you say about people?!

      You may lend your voice to good things, but no one listens to you because we all know you're a hypocritical douche.
      Doing one good thing does not automatically erase all the bad things you've done to people.

      the um "gay" community needs to do some serious soul searching
      before they named some of the folks that they have named on this list

      Mario…you represent the very stereotype
      of all that a "gay" person should avoid trying to become or admire

      selfish / vein / fickle / misogynistic / pedophile / etc..

      no wonder the um "gays" have not progressed to the point
      of universal acceptance here in United States of America

      but…it is what it is, and from the looks of it - - it's quite disappointing



    11. 11

      UMM THIS IS BULLSHIT. LISTEN EVERYONE…I KNOW WHATS GOIN ON… AND ITS SAD. PEREZ HAS BEEN DEEMED LEGIT/ACCEPTABLE BY THE MAJOR STUDIO HEADS FOR HIS WEBSITE RECIEVING ENOUGH "HITS"/"COMMENTARY" FROM US ALL. AS A RESULT HE WILL RECIEVE GREAT PUBLICITY PERKS SUCH AS THIS. DONT FALL FOR IT. WE ALL KNOW THIS KEEBLER LOOKING TRASH TALKER IS JUST ANOTHER PUPPET IN THE SCHEEM OF "THE MAN" PLAN. DONT FALL FOR IT.



    12. 12

      butch a queers



    13. 13

      How are you using your powers for good?

      All I see here is descent and judgement. It's entertaining, of course, but to misinterpret that as doing good deeds… it's ridiculously dellusional :)



    14. 14

      yup youre in the great company of rosie fucking odonnel and i can barely id a tenth of these losers . . . right where you belong, fucktard.



    15. 15

      aw! congrats, perez!



    16. 16

      and what GOOD is that exactly perez? Forcing all gays to come out of the closet is not always a good thing, some of them actually want to be known for their hard work rather than who they get their hard dick up for.



    17. 17

      I'm a big fan of so many people on that list, especially Perez and my favorite, Rachel Maddow. I actually think Meridith Baxter Birney should have been on the list this year; her coming out was so cool - as a sit-com mother, she has a lot of middle-America fans, the sort of people who go to church on Sundays and listen to their pastors tell them Gay people are sinners and are afraid of Gay people; the sort of people who vote for Prop 8, and she was spot on when she said (paraphrasing): 'I can be the Gay person you know.'



    18. 18

      EVERYONE WAS BORN EQUAL!! WE ALL DESERVE EQUAL TREATMENT! Kudos and congrats to you Perez for being recognized for spreading the word and fighting for what is RIGHT!! You deserve it and you're looking amayyyzzze in the pic.



    19. 19

      Oh my God you are so full of yourself. I am embarrassed for you postting this… seriously.



    20. 20

      WTF! What good???



    21. 21

      Why is it game men when they talk about themselves say "we" as opposed to "I" or "me"
      If you want to be taken seriously then grow up!



    22. 22

      as a gay man, i am disgusted that you made this list!! how can Out put a disgusting piece of trash that goes around calling people fa.g.got on a list of influential gay men/women is beyond me. your claim to fame is supposed to be your bullshit fight with that Carrie Prejean bitch over gay marriage? how did that promote positive awareness for the cause? you are vile and a disgrace to the gay community and i'm offended that Out even included you in the list, much less put you at #26



    23. 23

      i mean for fucks sake you are ranked higher than Lt. Dan Choi!!!! what the fuck was Out thinking? you are total trash



    24. 24

      Re: umyeah – -because he has enough influence for haters like you to come to his website and make hateful comments. But hey, come you do, along with millions of others.
      That makes Perez a Power Player.



    25. 25

      Re: umyeah – Agree. I wonder if he paid them or what cause… he calls people gay and stuff all the time insultingly… I just don't get it.



    26. 26

      congrats P!



    27. 27

      wow, i haven't logged into this site in ages, and i remember that each post used to have hundreds, and sometimes even thousand's of responses - and now there's barely double digits for most posts! that's a tremendous drop in traffic! good thing you lost some weight, it won't hurt so much when you hit the bottom of your 'career'. damn, i almost feel bad for you.



    28. 28

      lol Everyone else in that picture looks nice and respectable and your making the most immature ugly ass face and your like what 32? You suck balls and not in a good way



    29. 29

      Re: VeganVal – perhaps you should read the article to see how they claim his pitiful attacks on some dumb bitch made him some sort of activist for gay rights….I REPEAT!!!! what kind of gay rights activist goes around calling other people a fa.g.got???!!! call me a hater if you want, but i am sick of disgusting people like perez going around as though they represent the entire gay community.

      and for the record…i come here for the pure joy of posting about just how disgusting i think he is and reading the thousands of wonderful comments from people who agree….if i wanted to read up on actual "tabloid news" in a timely manner i would go to other sites because that's what he does….only he does it days after and posts those on here

      Congrats, lets make it all the way to Numero Uno!



    31. 31

      Has Anderson Cooper even officially come out?



    32. 32

      Wheres is Adam Lambert?



    33. 33

      Congrats Mario!



    34. 34

      Re: umyeah – Highfive! You expressed my feelings exactly.



    35. 35

      UGH!!!!!!! Those nasty dick-hairs on his forehead put me through it. Can't wait to see this vain queen fully lose the rest of its hair.



    36. 36

      I'm PROUD of of you Perez.



    37. 37

      I like all of these people, all except ONE. Can anyone guess which one that might be? :)



    38. 38

      Why do you always talk about yourself saying"we"?



    39. 39

      If you're so damn powerful, why is it that you were kicked out of the gay march on Washington, Pumpkinhead?



    40. 40

      Oh come on. You don't do anything for good. What do you do? Call others 'fa**ot'? Hate on anyone that don't kiss your ass. Please!



    41. 41

      what a shame you are to the gay community…and i could only regnize 4 people in the whole dam thing….wtf whos picking these people



    42. 42

      I didn't know Anderson Cooper was gay!!



    43. 43

      Re: ruealoud101 – He's like number 5 Just click on the pink "POWER LIST" and then hit next page until you get to him.



    44. 44

      wait Anderson Cooper isn't OUT…how did he make this list?



    45. 45

      wow Perez, you had to be the one looking like an arsehole



    46. 46

      TOO BAD MARIO IS A STUPID ASSHOLE AND HE DOESN"T USE ANYTHING FOR GOOD, HE'S A BADMOUTHING MORON WHO SUCKED HIS WAY ONTO THE POWER LIST. HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOU PIG? YOU SHOULD GET A TASTE OF YOUR OWN STINKING MEDICINE BECAUSE YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE YOU TEAR UP. YOU SUCK THE MOST, MARIO! YOU'RE A DISGRACE AND DO NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.



    47. 47

      Congratulations, Perez! AND don't listen to the negative Nelly's who have nothing better to do than visit this site with their depressing input. We still have a LONG way to go - prejudice towards gays still exists - but once they realize God loves all, we may have a gay President in the White House one day. And who knows? We could even have a "first man" instead of a "first lady" in the white house, as well. Fingers are crossed!



    48. 48

      you go boy !!!



    49. 49

      First of all you worthless piece of shit, you have no power. Secondly, once again "Out" proves that they are about as worthless as you are for even listing you. That rag is falling into the "wouldn't use it to wipe my ass with" category since they are even listing you as a "power" anything. Power bottom maybe, but that would be it.



    50. 50

      Great picture! It shows that yes, you are buck-toothed and YES, you are losing your hair rapidly. Way to go fudge packer!



    51. 51

      Re: sweetchicstyle.com – EQUAL TREATMENT? SO HIS FIGHT FOR EQUALITY IN MARRIAGE MAKES UP FOR HIS TREATING PEOPLE LIKE SHIT WITH HIS PROFANE COMMENTS AND PICTURES? NO, IT DON'T. I'LL GIVE HIM THE EXACT EQUAL TREATMENT HE DESERVES - MARIO, YOU'RE A F-CKIN SHITHEAD!



    52. 52

      Re: I like turtles. – YOU'RE A FUCKTARD, TOO. PREJUDICE TOWARDS THE GAYS? WHAT ABOUT MARIO'S OBVIOUS PREJUDICE AGAINST PEOPLE HE DOESN'T LIKE? DON'T EVEN MENTION GOD ON THIS SITE, BECAUSE HE'S NOWHERE NEAR THIS HELLHOLE. MARIO'S ONLY GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN POISON.



    53. 53

      i think you should be a bit classier! you are still hood.



    54. 54

      It's sad that Out magazine actually gives you any cred. You post stories that you get from other gossip sites and most of the time you misspell things or use incorrect grammar. You post GOSSIP, how are you "powerful". That should have thought this through a lil better. I'm gay and I hate you, so don't be foolish and think that the gay community likes you. Most gay people I've talked to hate you too.



    55. 55

      I find this quite disgusting.

      Why should someone be rewarded for hounding actors, singers and other celebrities until they have to announce to the world they are gay. He simply cannot accept that some people want to keep their private lives private and be known for their talent and work rather than their sexuality. Just because they don't tell the world they are gay does not mean they are ashamed of it.

      I think such a bigoted, ignorant fool should be at the very most ignored, certainly not praised for such behaviour. I'm yet to see any "good work" from him- just insulting people, ridiculing people's weight, calling young girls sluts and perving over pubescent boys. Oh, and outing people. That list is a joke.



    56. 56

      I always thought gays wanted to be scene as equals yet on that power list most of them are these flamboyant, crude, disrespectful and out-spoken (alot of the time) laughed at individuals. If you want to be scene as equal, then act it.



    57. 57

      Doesn't say a lot for gays, no wonder they keep getting beat up. And your fat head in the pic is almost as big as your over-inflated z-list ego. Not reading the article, it is irrelevant and meaningless to 99% of the people. Fuck yourself.



    58. 58

      some of those ppl i don't even recognize



    59. 59

      You are one UGLY SOB….



    60. 60

      You go son!!!! I enjoy your blog so much. I'm retired and live in KS!!!! Your blog is the second thing I read in the morning (weather being the first), it is KS after all… Keep up the good work ,,,,

      k, whatever.
      oh and umm.. go cut your hair,
      you look like donald trump



    62. 62

      This is the saddest excuse of a list I've ever encountered…. are we suppose to know these people? Except for Ellen of course?



    63. 63

      You look like a donkey.



    64. 64

      Hee Haw, Hee Haw.



    65. 65

      WTG Perez……and Adam Lambert made the list too.



    66. 66

      I can't believe you're on this list with some pretty talented people. I can't see one shred of commonality between you and anyone here. The token idiot I'm assuming.

      67

      Funny how you always preach equality Mario when you're the biggest hypocritical judgmental douchebag out there!

    68. BD4ME says – reply to this


      68

      So now "inning" Hollywood actors is actually considered to be a good thing. Good to know. :/



    69. 69

      Anderson Cooper is on the list too - when did he come out??



    70. 70

      Mario, for the love of God, why do you constantly let your gayness define you? If anything, your piss-poor "fashion" sense is what seems to define you.



    71. 71

      Re: umyeah

      Agreed.



    72. 72

      Re: umyeah – I come here for the exact same reason. I speak my mind just like the dickhead that runs it. I take some negative hits but its all in good fun.



    73. 73

      Missing Tom's likeness in the celebrity collage.



    74. 74

      congrats hun!

      wait, has anderson cooper come out yet? if he hasn't, he should! :)



    75. 75

      26 ?
      That's a shiteous result ! (Does that ring any bell, Perez?)



    76. 76

      Somebody needs to be a love and photoshop some white drops falling from the corner of his putrid mouth and smudge some under his crusty nostrils, then put some rude comment across it. I have gay friends who are nothing like Perez and don't consider him noteworthy at all. Being good people is what defines them, not flamboyant gayness and crudeness.



    77. 77

      Idk…I think the stupid face is kinda sexy, lol



    78. 78

      Congrats!!!!

      If people dont like perez then why are you on his site, let alone have an account to his site?!? Hypocrites!! If its for the gossip then you gotta admit his site is worth visiting!!



    79. 79

      Right, ’cause trashing celebs because you can, being a vomit inducing sycophant, and championing really shitty music are such life-affirming achievements. Pig Face, you're a douche, no matter what a misguided rag says otherwise.



    80. 80

      Re: Sweetness24 – PEREZ IS THE ULTIMATE HYPOCRITE BUT YOU DEFEND HIM? UMMM, I THINK THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF HYPOCRITE! IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE COMMENTS, DON'T READ THEM (THE SAME LAME THING PEOPLE SAY ABOUT NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT PEREZ!).



    81. 81

      Is that the pic they made if so Anderson Cooper should sue them!



    82. 82

      You are kidding, right? What have you done for the "good" of people?? You are a judgemental hypocrite! All you do is bash people you hate and suck up to people you love. Yeah, dude. You are a real Gandhi or MLK! Go look in the mirror!



    83. 83

      "HEY LOOK I'M MAKING THE SAME FACE GAGA ALWAYS MAKES BECAUSE SHE THINKS IT'S COOL"



    84. 84

      Re: umyeah – Very nice



    85. 85

      VegalVal..VERY WELL SAID! IT'S AMUSING THE "HATERS" TROLL HIS SITE DAILY AND SPEW THEIR HATE ON EVERY TOPIC..THE VERY THING THEY DESPISE PEREZ FOR..HYPOCRITICAL MUCH? BUT WHATEVS..PEREZ BANKS BECAUSE OF THEM, AND YOU KNOW HE LOVES IT. THEY GET SO WORKED UP IT'S FUNNY! CALM DOWN, LOVIES. LOL. BUT YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH, DEAR. BECAUSE HE IS SO HONEST AND OPINIONATED, IT PISSES PEOPLE OFF. THAT'S INFLUENCE!



    86. 86

      Wow, this makes me ashamed to be gay. You do nothing but insult people who don't bow down to you and the ones you don't insult are the ones who ass kiss you. This is truly disgusting and insulting to real people out there who devote their lifes to LGBT rights and causes that didn't make this list and someone like YOU is on there? Disgusting and sad :(



    87. 87

      If Out magazine ever had any credibility, it's surely fell by the wayside now. Perez Hilton always looks to me like he smells of stinky armpits, mothballs, and zit medication, with a little bit of jiz somewhere in the middle of it. He's most foul.



    88. 88

      Funny thing is, everyone hates perez now, but he has tons of advertisers… Why doesn't anyone treat perez the way he treats the world? Someone tell him what a piece of shit he is! a pedophile! A woman hater! wtf



    89. 89

      If pig-vomit Perez makes a so-called power list of gay people, that seems to me to be a scathing indictment of leadership in the gay community. One hopes that if Out magazine were to round up their top 50 and put them in a room, the other 49 would have the good sense to pelt stones at pig-vomit.



    90. 90

      how can they support a dick who mocked and called a poor black woman ugly because she's got arrested for stealing a sandwich, because she was probably hungry?????? you do some good, Pereuza, unfortunately, the bad you do represents about 85% of what you do with your blog!



    91. 91

      cool picture! we are proud of you!



    92. 92

      Your hairline is starting to resemble Jude Law!



    93. 93

      Most of these people are overblown celebrities anyway, but at least when I look at them I can say I admire all of them at least a little bit, where as with Perez I think he is everything that is detestable about gay people and the gay community. He is the type of person that causes others to believe we are all big nelly queens. I would have rather have put RuPaul on this list even, rather than Perez, because at least he has had staying power in the gay community and also has a lot of BALLS to come out and do what he does. What has Perez done except slam Carrie Prejean for stating an opinion. Perez actually created an opposite affect of what America is all about because he tried to control freedom of speech for Gods sake. Perez, why don't you talk about the real issues with gays, like our lack of rights with immigration, housing, rights to our partners estate. You haven't done shit for gays except make us look bad. Tosser.



    94. 94

      AWWW CUTE



    95. 95

      yes us gays are unstoppable



    96. 96

      you're a disgrace to gay people perez



    97. 97

      um.. why is gaga not on this list? or constance?



    98. 98

      YO HEAD SHO IS BIG….



    99. 99

      disgusting….perez you are a despicable human being.



    100. 100

      someone point me towards straight camp please!
      wow. i would like to say that I am gay and Perez has no power over me at all. Except maybe to make me a little sick.
      I consider you to be an embarrassment, a shameful aberration in the gay community. After spending our lives being looked down on some people would rather be open, honest and kind, live our lives as normally and fully as we would no matter what our sexual orientation and refrain from judging others cos we know what its like to be judged. You choose to use yours as a weapon against others, as an excuse for horrible behaviour and a shield when others call you out on it.
