"My advice to the gay community is SHUT UP, just don't talk about it. If you walk around talking about what you do in the bedroom, you should be on the pervert channel."
- State Senator Gary George of Oregon, (sen.garygeorge@state.or.us)
Posted: March 21, 2008 at 11:01 am
Why DO gay people talk about sex so much? I mean, being fair, you DO talk about it ALL the time. Does that make you feel better or something? I am not being sarcastic- but, especially gay GUYS, talk about it ALL the time. No one cares if you are gay- really they don't. THey get annoyed a hell about HEARING about it all the time. YOu can't make people accept you so yammering on won't help.
Re: leslie –
except for the part where he says "my advice to the gay community is…"?
That's homophobic, no two ways about it. He clearly thinks that being gay is all about who you have sex with, but no-one thinks that being "straight" is all about what kind of sex you have. Dumbass!
I would say that this statement, if applied to both homosexuals AND heterosexuals, wouldn't be offensive and would be true.
Maybe if homophobic folk like him wouldn't harass and dwell upon it in the damn first place, they wouldn't talk about it to them. Lawd Jesus, don't yall just love doublt standards?
Amen brother! Gays need to keep their disgusting sexuality private. My kids don't need to hear about two men ass-fucking…heinous!
He looks like freddie kreuger.
This guy is so right. The 99.9% of the population ( not gay ) are sick of the talk on this issue. Go back in hiding sissies.
He clearly doesnt get it. Some people especially white men who have never had to deal with any discrimination or adverse toxic pressure from this society just cant see past the end of thier noses.
By talking about what they do in the bedroom he clearly means identifing yourself in any way. Not only is that bad for you. It is a terrible thing for other gay people –most especially young gay men who kill themselves at an alarming rate.
Well what a fucking original idea!! I kinda agree though, but that also goes for the breeders too. Who the fuck cares about ANYBODY'S sex life. He's still an ignorant douchebag though.
Bedroom talk is for pervs… Straight or gay. Doesn't stop me from talking about it, though. hee hee
hah, yupp..i just emailed him.
Re: I WANT THE PERVERT CHANNEL!!!!! –
Meeeee toooooo!!!!!!!!!
I'm so ashamed to admit that I didn't even KNOW about this troglodyte until I stopped by for my biweekly gossip fix… Who's running the letter-writing campaign against this d*ckhead? I want in!
Maybe he should tell his politician friends this advice (I bet he watches child pornography)
Re: sam – SO DO YOU-IT'S YOUR HEAD!
MY cousin is GAY and so are some of my friends.
What an ASS!!!!
P.s.
He looks very creepy…
What!? Actually, I agree. You don't see hets having straight pride week. What goes on in the privacy of your bedroom is your private business. When you cease to talk about it, it ceases to be an issue for you, and others. No one else wants to hear about it. Really. Get a room. Yawn.
He's absolutely right. This goes for straight people too. People are so self centered nowadays they think everyone is interested in everything they do. Some things should be kept private. What happens in the bedroom is one of them. Grow up. The world doesn't revolve around you.
Ummmmm, straight people carry the product of their love making in their arms, in their hands, straggeling in tow, or, if your a lohan, in the club. They talk about intimate dtails of pregneancy. They wear rings to make sure you know they sleep with one in particular. Or, in the office, they speak constantly about it as you try to ignore them. Their sexuality is everywhere, including in politics. Try to get a deduction from your boyfriend . . . doesn't work - but your kid!
Perez!! he is right, i totally agree with him.. i am not against gay people, but i dont agree with their methods.. you dont see straight people walking down the street and scream "IM STRAIGHT!! IM STRAIGHT!! IM PROUD TO BE STRAIGHT!! GIMMIE RIGHTS GIMMIE RIGHTS" if we did, we would be made a mockery of… the same should apply to gay people.. why celebrate the fact your gay or divulge ur sex life?? cos its not right when people talk about their sex lifes, gay pr straight.. when gay people do that, they are just begging for criticism.. and Perez, i love your site, but i have had enough you bashing anyone who does not believe or agree with your opinions… this is a free country and if someone is not for gay people, have issues with other races or whatever, they have every right to speak out.. and you should respect their opinions just as people respect yours…
Re: James – Well, straight people can't be faulted for their bio-ability to procreate. Get yourself a surrogate and carry your own children around as a couple. Talking about pregnancy is not a sexual thing. How are straight people at fault, again, if two same sex can't conceive together? They wear rings. You can, too. I don't know about the sex lives of ANY married people, as most never discuss it, and I've been around a LOOOOOONG time. With regards to getting deductions, change your legislation, or move to a country where you can marry and get benefits. They DO exist. I live in one.
I think these evil comments from elected officials WHO REPRESENT ALL PEOPLE are far more dangerous to the welfare of the public than Eliot Spitzer buying some ass!!! When will it stop?? I want my kids to grow up with respect for all people's choices and lifestyles.
He looks like he enjoys rimming the butts of sweaty oilfield workers with his tongue!
Re: I WANT THE PERVERT CHANNEL!!!!! – You don't get FOX News?
Not that I agree with what Senator George has said, but you fail to let the millions of people who read your site to know the CONTEXT for his comment. There were things said before that statement that might not cause such an outrage. Not to mention, the interview took place with a gay blog…
True, as per previous comments.
However, whether you're straight, gay, bi, … keep this part of your life private. It makes it nicer and sweeter and more interesting. Lately, everyone's life has become such an open book, and frankly, it's waaaaay TMI….
Although I agree that people would do better to not speak about their bedroom activities (unless those around them are interested in hearing), singling out gay people in this statement is pretty prejudiced. Not all gay people go about screaming, "I AM A HOMOSEXUAL!!" and not all straight people are quiet about who they're screwing, etc etc.
Laaa.
He is %100 correct! Absolutely!! Heteros don't going around saying "I'M STRAIGHT!" no. all you homos should stay in the closet. No one cares what you do
I'm from Oregon and have to say that I am very ashamed of my representative.
Thanks for the email address perez!
I Just sent him a quick but poignant message! …Douche bag
YEAH……SO WE'VE STILL GOT A FEW WHITE OLD MEN HOMOPHOBE ANTI SEMETIC CHAUVANIST PIGS OUT THERE…….THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THESE DINOSAURS WILL BE DEAD SOON
I will start with saying I actually live in Portland, OR and am a alternative lifestyle supporter.
Really though I agree every where I go I have to see and here about every homosexuals sexual wants and experiences and it truly is offensive. If I walked around talking about how gorgeous this person or that person was and what I want to do with them behind closed doors I would be charged with harassment eventually. Like I said before I am an advocate for alternative lifestyles but how long do I have to sit at my favorite restaraunt and listen to a group of "ladies" talking about having oral sex with my waitress. It's ridiculous and I think it provides some sort of self validation to homosexuals that are uncomfortable with there own lifestyles. If you have to talk about ur sex life ALL THE TIME you have a lot more problems than what Gary George had to say. If ur so comfortable with who you are then you shouldn't have to dress a certain way or go to certain bars to segregate ur self from the rest of the world. Just beacuse Sally Kerns had some vile hateful shit to say does not invalidate other politicians opinions. GET OVER IT!!! Come live in Portland, the gay populationis HUGE and sometimes hearing and seeing it alllll the time is exhausting. It seems like there is no desire to verbalize any emotion or charecter trait besides sexuality.
Re: jimmyjazz – But how many have they spawned to replace them, JJ??? Truly, that is the scary question!!!
EVERYONE EMAIL HIM GAY PORN!! OK?!
I just sent Senator George this email:
Senator George,
I hear that your advice to gays it that we should just shut up. I suppose that your advice to Rosa Parks would have been to "just move your fanny on back to the back of the bus, dear." It's probably good for African Americans that she didn't care what you, and those of your ilk, think. Well, neither do we.
Dick Mills
OH HELL YEA
i totally agree with that gay. gay or not i don't like hearing what other people do in the bedroom. perez stop being to sensitive. he didn't say anything offensive. i don't like riding the subway in the morning and hearing about how good these gay guys anal sex was the night before. i have nothing against gay guys, i just don't want to hear about there sex
i meant guy**…. not gay.
funny people listen to the gay community when we are supposedly talking about wat we do in the bedroom(which i think its stupid ) but they they dont hear we want to be treated equal.
I live in Oregon and am disgusted with this senator's comments. I emailed him and suggested he follow his own advice of shutting up.
GOOD FOR HIM, we do not need to know who is and who is'nt. Who really cares. I get so tired of everyone needing to be so PC. Shut up and go on with your life.
what a fucking idiot…
hes secretly gay and doesnt wanna talk about it
make the world a better place, shoot a fag in the face.
I actually think he makes a valid point. I'm not homophobic in the least but its true that a person's business in the bedroom should not be advertised. Not everyone feels comfortable with it and his comment, I don't think, was meant directly towards the gay/lesbian community.
.. i read this and im sending him an e-mail NOW. Thanks Perez for leaving his e-mail address, he doesn't deserve to be a senator.
He has a point.
It's not like str8 people go around waving banners and having parades about who THEY sleep with so why should it be any different for us gay folk?
If we want to be accepted for who we are, then we should behave like being gay is normal. Going around advertising who we sleep, is not an indication that it's normal. If anything, it gives the opposite impression.
ya i dont wanna hear about people's sex lives either, gay or straight. just keep it to yourself man there's so much sex on tv nowadays its gotta stop really its too much. and i never understood those gay parades. its a bunch of half naked perverted men waggin their dicks around, im surprised that shit isnt banned! most people dont wanna see that and it just reinforces the stereotype that gay people are perverts
so thats just what i think and im not against gays at all, i have a lot of gay friends.
Re: JOE –
uhm are you kidding me? you're the one on this website you piece of shit
okay i know this is bad to say but thats some funny shit…. i think everyone has a right to there own life styles but straight people dont go around saying hey were straight. Maybe gays shouldnt go aroung saying hey were GAY!!! and there wouldnt be any controversy
Re: Liz – You are one messed up bitch–the WORST kind of homophobe there is! I don't think anybody bought your sick rant, you filthy piece of trash!
go stick that big shnozz of yours up your old lady's woohaa.
I've always been proud to be an Oregonian, but this ignorant senator makes me feel so ashamed!! For the most part, Oregon is a truly liberal and accepting state and I know that we will once again prove it by getting this man out of the senate the first chance we get.
This is the type of person who is ignorant and should not have ANY kind of control or influence on a state. He needs to think about other things than obviously being homophobic.
and boy the way "monkeycox" heterosexual people talk about sex ALL the time….does that make it right because they arent gay?? My gay friends talk about sex less then my straight friends…and even if they did you gives a fuck really??
Re: x – you are dumb as hell
semi-agreed he could have worded it better. and as far as gays fighting for equal rights what does that have to do with whom youre sleeping with it only has to do with gender not sexual exploits so there for there is no need to shove your gayness down peoples throats with the parades and such. blacks didnt run around half naked and speak in native tounge to get equal rights the did the things that any other white citizen did (like sit in the front of the bus) because it wasnt about being african it was about being equal! so keep protesting thoes marriage rights im rootin for ya. let us all be miserable together!!!
ummmmm…..this old bastard and the guy who played Freddie Kruger….Separated at Birth?
The pervert channel huh?
hahahahahahahaaaaaa.
People make me laugh.
What a jerk
He drinks his own piss!
hey actually — that guy reminds me of guys that I see at public parks flashing me their cocks. disgusting perverts.
R-
So true
Maybe the LGBT community would have less to talk about if men and women like this gentleman (I use the word VERY lightly) would stop attacking us on a daily basis and just let us live in peace with the SAME rights and privileges as everyone else has!
But wait! Straight Men cannot even give Women and Other Minorities equal rights (pay, job opportunities, etc) even in this day and age.
Take the stick out people! Get over it!
Frankly, I hear more talk about Straight People's sex life then I ever have a gay people. What gay people is he talking about?
MY advice to POLITICIANS is that YOU the POLITICIANS seem to have a bugger problem with Sexual Perversion….Spitzer, Daniel Craig, Mark Foley….whay don't YOU guys ZIP IT UP!
no one needs to talk about what they do in the bed room…gay or straight. if they talk about it he's right…dumb ass's! what is this in response to??
Who cares what that old pervert says?
this makes me sad to be from oregon
That guy is a total douche bag. Then again that's what the senate is full of anyway, so that's expected. Just because he's homphobic doesn't mean he has to be such a complete asshole to people who are more interesting than himself.
WHAT A FUCKING PRICK!!!!
Hey Shit for Brains! You must be banging Larry Craig!
Im gonna kick ur balls motherfucker assshole
Re: Candace – bingo.
He is right
he doesn't have a right to tell people what to do
i dont think n e one shud talk about wat they do in the bedroom, but i dont think he should have directed it at solely gay's, i sense trobule…
DUDE… maybe u shud thank god tt u werent born one.. or else shut the FUCK UP!
Re: JOE – You're wrong. God is love. Not discrimination.
Re: Sarah – You people are soooo big on "respecting other people lifestyles", then fucking respect HIS!! HE has a right to say what he wants, just like all the fags have a right to say their bullshit. If one side has the right, then so does the other.
He's ignorant - but right. Most people don't want to hear about what goes on in anyones bedroom. I don't want to hear about that governor's high priced hookers any more than I do about gay men's sex lives. It's all irrelevant to me. If he's saying don't tell any one you're gay, that's stupid. If he's saying stop acting like a silly American Idol Queen who mocks himself and all gay people as stereotypical fools, I'd agree. My boss is gay. Everyone knows he's gay and is married. But he doesn't act like a fool.
I hate people who talk about there sex life, gay or straight. My friend does that and I hate it. It makes me feel awkward. But really, this guy is an asshole for making sound like gay people are the only one's who do it.
Re: burn fags burn – YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY, WITH THIS TURD AND SALLY KERNCUNT!
Re: burn fags burn (btw, I'm a big ole bottom!) –
Clearly, medical waste has more benefit to society than you do!!!
Re: JOE –
GOD IS AN ILLUSION
GOD IS AN ILLUSION
GOD IS AN ILLUSION
GOD IS AN ILLUSION
GOD IS AN ILLUSION
THERE IS NO HEAVEN AND EARTH AND GOD IS JUST AN IMAGINATION OF A BUNCH OF RELIGIOUS FREAK LIKE YOU
Re: JOE – your make beleive god and lick my ass.
Re: clipitar – being as IGNORANT as you are is an ILLNESS and IGNORANT BREEDERS like yourself shouldn't be allowed to BREED more IGNORANT AND ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN.
I bet you this piece of shit is a pedophile , and hiding it . In the end it always comes out ,all these assholes politicians that are usually talking shit are the ones keeping a skeleton in their closets and if it stink sooner or later it will smell.
Re: Frag The Paps – children all over the place is the way for you fucking ignorant breeders to flaunt your repulsive life style not to mention there are so many unwanted children so why not just throw the fetus in the garbage right???? or sexually abused your own children because some of you are closet homos . Also we are sick and tired of moving out of our way for your goddamn kid strollers all over the place ,clogging the streets !!!!!
The Pride happened to be important because it is the day to celebrate and reminds you ignorant douche bags that this world doesn't belong to you all ,it is for everybody ,to show that being tolerant is and will always be important . Before anyone bash me and say that I am intolerant too , think again I have straight friends with children as well but may I remind you again that there are 2 types of Heteros -
STRAIGHT PEOPLE -DECENT ,KIND TOLERANT EDUCATED PEOPLE
IGNORANT BREEDERS - HYPOCRITE DOUCHE BAG UNEDUCATED ASSHOLES
Re: Catherine – you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP because you are nothing but an IGNORANT CUNT , add it to the rest . What is really pathetic is that IGNORANT BREEDERS like yourself keep breeding more IGNORANT CHILDREN and they usually end up ILLEGITIMATE as well . WAY TO GO FUCKING IGNORANT DOUCHE BAGS
Re: Monkeycox – you sound like an Idiot , I am a gay men and I don't tell anyone my business so why are you generalizing everyone ???? My problem is that most ignorant people like yourself are usually the ones talking shit behind me so you can feel better about yourselves . I personally don't give a shit about some of the gay agenda ,it is good for them that they fight for equality but for instance gay marriage is not for me nor it will ever be and I used to attend parades but now I simply don't because for me it was a phase in my life when I was younger It was important for me to be involved but now I am happy and content being who I am and having a long lasting relationship with my bf , which most breeders usually can't say about themselves because usually their marriage always end up in divorce anyway.
The bottom line is heteros like you are the one that need to mind your own fucking business .
Re: Straight Guy – hahahaha you post here on Perez and if you have to announce that you are " straight " I am not buying it hahahahaha . Please get out of the coset and start sucking dick and tell your buddies to gang rape your stupid ass so that way you won't be so uptight and constipated , also it is hardly true that 99% believe the same thing , only hypocrite ignorant assholes like you.
This is just another way of showing that today in this world there is still ignorance, prejudice and stupidity in this world. I sent him an e-mail hopefully he will see what a dumbass he is!
Re: Janelle – Oh so that's why when I used to work at this clothes shop whenever I go to the break room a bunch of heteros are talking about what they did over the weekend and how many skanks like yourself they fucked over the weekend . Right, heteros like you don't talk about your sexual conquests, you guys simply go in front of an altar and fuck and then get caught hahahaha and most of the time breeders like you get pregnant and then opps why don't you just throw the aborted fetus in the garbage and the next thing you know I have to hear it in the news .
I think it's great that he showed what he really thinks. Now the progressive people of Oregon can use this info to help them decide whether or not to replace him with someone more open-minded, informed and diplomatic.
I know people of all sexual persuasions and sexes that overshare stories about their sex lives. I think it's more of an attention getting thing than a gay thing, certainly.
Fuck that guy.
He needs to have a one-on-one with Anne Hathaway.
This man is an ignorant jerk I am straight but, I'm all for the gay community why you should you have to hide or be ashamed of your sexuality?
Re: burn fags burn – well so then I am free to say then what I want to you then . Heaven and Hell together with your douche bag god is all an imagination .
People as ignorant as you are the ones that need to shut the fuck up and mind your own fucking business . I hate it when breeders always think and shove in my face how perfect their lives are and in the end some of them usually are hypocrites and in the closet . Again mind your fucking business and stop breeding more ignorant and neglected children.
Re: Eric and Jake – I didn't think it was possible, but you guys are even FIERCER than ever!!! And you prove that the couple that posts on Perez together STAYS TOGETHER!!!
So what exactly, Mr George, is the "pervert channel"????????? Hahaha idiot.
