she's being asked to apologize for something she said that was caught on camera. ameteur (imagine that) at that. no word if the video was in green nightvision. anyway, what does she owe an apology for? here is the write up:

"Gay rights leaders in Los Angeles are calling on Paris Hilton to explain herself after making a series of anti-gay and racial slurs in a video that began circulating in cyberspace last week. The video, which appears to have been taken by an amateur videographer at a private party, shows Hilton referring to someone using the derogatory term "f****t" and describes herself and sister Nicky as "n**gas". And the leaders of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) are outraged by the footage. They're calling for Hilton make a public apology before the video gets wider play. GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano says, "When Paris Hilton utters these words into a camera, it creates a permanent record that... she must bear responsibility for. These are not frivolous words, and to use them as if they are gives tacit sanction to the racism and homophobia they engender. Hilton has an obligation to go on the record, explain herself, and publicly apologize to the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) and African American communities and all those offended by these slurs."


screw the "little girls look up to her" excuse. she lost that in her last video. since when can people not say what they want in casual conversation?? its not like she said it on live tv or or cnn.

Ok, I don't even know where or how to begin to respond to that statement.

Guess you have never known any gay people in your life. No relatives or friends...?

But to respond to the thread...that girl...she makes me laugh. She needs to just hang it up, because she got what she wanted. She wanted to be famous and shes famous all right, but for all the wrong reasons!

ok but if i'm joking around with my cousin and it's caught on film with me sayin "dude stop bein a f*****." sorry I ain't apologizing. I don't like paris at all but I don't see why she should have to do anything. maybe they should focus on keeping that gross skank lindsay lohan in rehab.

why are people so offended by what Paris Hilton says?

should I be offended when someone says I am white... the truth can never hurt, but it will set you free...

She really knew when she could first comprehend anything at all she was a lesbian? I find that hard to believe because I know a couple guys who are identical twins, one is gay, one is not. I for one will never buy the idea that anyone is born gay simply because two people with the exact same molecular and genetic composition choose to lead two different lifestyles. I will say that I think that every person has the right to chose how they live their life, but if they let the criticism of the lifestyle they choose bother them, I fully believe that they in their hearts know what they are doing is wrong and are ashamed of who they are. I for one am proud to be heterosexual, and nobody is ever going to make me feel bad for being this way. I'm sure that every person who is straight feels that way.

Haha!! no, no you misread. We have been friends practically since birth.

But you are talking to the wrong person about choice.

I studied the brain in psychology and there really are anatomical differences in Heterosexuals, and Homosexuals...up until then yes, I did believe it was a choice. After college, my opinion changed.

And that is my belief....I don't expect everyone to accept that. But it would be nice if we lived in a world that didn't bash people for their sexuality.

My theory is if they keep their business to theirself just like we do (when it comes to the 3 letter word), WHO CARES?

I've got enough probs to worry about someone elses.

GLAAD makes me SAAD and MAAD...

anyhoo, I knew a really gay guy... my ex-girlfriend's roomate... I remember when meeting the dude the first time, I was like "whatever"... I didn't care, maybe the dude's cool, maybe his lover can get us some beer (I was 20), really I didn't care... other than him being a little drama queen and talking like a california girl, "gay" never popped into my head...

I remember shaking his hand that first time and saying "Hey man, how's it goin', nice to meet you"... just like it was anyone else... the first thing the dude tells me is "You know, just because I'm gay like, like doesn't mean I'm gunna try to hit on you..."

I say "annnd?" :confused:

What I'm getting at is that most gay folk (for sure not all, but esspecially those heavily involved with GLAAD etc...) just love standing on the mountain tops and yelling "I'MMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAY" as if they misread the script for the latest Taco Bell Commercials (I'm Full)... and if you're not gay, and you've never met a gay person in your life you are all of the sudden homophobic... I take the word homophobic as an insult... I was just raised to think naturally when it comes to sex... not to think Jimmy and Blake sittin' in a tree....... though Sharon and Susie sittin' in the tree wouldn't bother me

If it makes you feel better, I actually saw my best friend butt nekkid (too much tequila in Vegas), and I'm still straight as an arrow.

For all these cries of non-PC, most people could just grow a pair and learn to be comfortable with your own sexuality. Stop bringing these people down. We don't fight their battle, and I doubt a straight man was ever murdered due to his sexuality. Matthew Shepard comes to mind.

However...

Opinions are opinions. Its my opinion that we should all see gays and lesbians as any other normal person. Everyone else, including Ms. Hilton has a right to a similar or different opinion. If you want to call someone a fag, fine, we can deal, but don't ridicule them, abuse them, or take their rights. They're human beings and have just as much worth as anyone else.

I don't even know where to begin on the issue of "nature vs. nurture," but I do remember a little bit about psychological conditioning. Of course if a homosexual is brought down repeatedly, they'll question their lifestyle, but that's no different from a young child who is scolded for misbehaving and then reexamines the events that led to the scolding.

As for pride in sexuality, that's fine and dandy, but prejudice or sexism against other sexuality should not accompany it.

What if the dude was eating a snickers... really enjoying it, and all of the sudden he realized that there was a dog turd on the other end of it and jumped back disgusted... the dude just doesn't want to eat that close to a dog turd... would some organization called, let's say, CRAAP come out of the blue calling the mars company "turdophobic" and have the commercial removed?

are there any petitions to sign to have the commercial reinstated??? and will mars be getting their money back???

I never said anyone is attracted to both of them, you're putting words into my mouth. I decided to be straight the first time I saw a pretty girl on TV just like everyone else does. You have a Mom and a Dad, it's just natural instinct to be attracted to the opposite sex.

Look at the tendencies of nature. Male always mates with female, that is the way it goes, plain and simple. Are you saying that you might secretly be attracted to males because females are attracted to them to? If that is your reasoning is, then that is what I'm going to take it for.

I don't think I had a moment of clarity in terms of whether I liked girls or boys. I, like you, saw my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents together, so assumed I too would end up with a woman. Kids today aren't as sheltered as us back then (as if that was so long ago). Natural instincts aren't natural to every speciman, explaining why we see homosexuality in other mammals aside from humans. .

No what I am saying is that YOU said for YOU it is natural instinct...Meaning you did not make the choice to be one way or other..Your body/brain told you when you saw a pretty girl that you was attracted.

For Buffy's best friend, that was how it was for her..She did not just wake up one day and say hey I am gay..she had an INSTINCT that attracted her to women. She had NO CHOICE.

Sorry, this website (http://godhatesfags.com) came to mind. I can't even view it at work thanks to the filter, which classifies it as Violence/Hate/Racism. I imagine there's plenty of such in there.

but if you're presenting this arguement to a Christian, who believes it's a sin to be gay (just saying), a Christian could easily respond "Okay, so my instincts told me to steal money from Soandso so I could have money to pay my rent"... it was an instinct, but was it right?

I just don't bother with it until it starts trouble with me... they do their thing, that's fine... but removing my entertainment (snickers commercial etc...) gets on my nerves...

When I say they have no choice I mean by there attraction for a certain sex...yes they have the choice to act on it or not..but the instinct is there.

For Buffy's best friend, that was how it was for her..She did not just wake up one day and say hey I am gay..she had an INSTINCT that attracted her to women. She had NO CHOICE.


There is always a choice. I'm strolling through Wal-Mart, and I see a PS3, and I want to grab it and take off running, but I know that God told me not to do that. A person's life is what they want to make it, sexuality included. As said before about the twins, one is gay, one is not, but they were made exactly the same, so nobody will ever justify that being homosexual is a natural tendency, otherwise they would both have it.

They don't, they make the choices that will impact their lives individually, that is the entire point. They were both born exactly alike, but each one individually chose what they wanted to make themselves.

Priests still have sexual urges, but they don't allow themselves to give into them.

By the way, I don't hate homosexuals, I just dislike their choices. I have several gay friends and they know where I stand on the issue, we just choose not to discuss it. I won't risk a friendship over something they refuse to change one way or the other, but if they ever want to talk about it, I have no problem having a normal discussion about it.

Sadly, many do, and in most cases choose to satisfy these urges with young boys. Thankfully these cases seem to have dropped off in number over the past couple of years.

One side says that you can't say anything bad about gays and if you do you're homophobic.

The other side says that homosexuality is wrong and that your going to hell.

I wish I had known the problems that your cousin was going through. There are programs out there that help people that want to get out of that lifestyle. There are loving caring people that have the best interests of gay people at heart when they want them to stop that lifestyle.

But again, if you say that the gay lifestyle is wrong and you want to help them, then you get classified as homophobic. It's a tricky situation all the way around.

I'm not going to assume anything about Ranger Mom's cousin, but the gay lifestyle is often generalized as one that includes promiscuity and drug use. These facets can be removed, while preserving the sexuality. However, when the only fix to the problem is thought to be a heterosexual rebrith, it does seem to come off as being anti-gay. Keep in mind, that straight people also face the afflictions of promiscuity and drug use, and are often counseled without the issue of sexual preference ever being an issue.

Gender identification or as we used to say before PC, sexual identity, is probably both nature and nurture. The balance of the two is probably in favor of nurture by 80-20. Fraud was a true genius and his theory of how a child establishes his or her sexual identity still is considered paramount in the field of human sexuality. I would strongly recommend you read up on this as it is very enlightening. In a nutshell, if say a young boy resolves his competetive attraction to his mother by identifying with his father he will turn out heterosexual. If he fails this and identifies with the mother he will be homosexual. This happens around age 5 or 6. For girls it is a bit more complicated, but very much the same dynamic. If she fails to resolve her competitive feeling towards her mother she will identify with the father and be homosexual. The nature element has to do with certain instinctual behaviors (think of how animals of the same sex like calfs or puppies will try to mount each other), biochemical variances among individuals in regard to hormones, pheromones etc. as well as certain important physical characteristics and appearance [beauty or "attractiveness" being also largely culturally defined, this has more to do with survival of the fittest genetic predispositions that make one potential mate more attractive than the other. For example a tall well built male would enhance the chance of a family unit's survival in a harsh competetive environment, even to this day LOL. Likewise a woman with large....well you get the point I hope.:D ].

Bottom line is that we all share the core similarity of our humaness, despite differences in what we are born with and what we experience along the way. Mutual respect and tolerance is the very least we owe one another in this regard without sacrificing our religous and moral beliefs or personal preferences.

Actually, it's a proven fact that homosexual men lead a much more promiscuis life than heterosexual men on average. The way it was explained to me by one of my gay buddies: Imagine yourself at your sexual peak (17-24 for most males). Now imagine that every girl you were trying to hook up with shared those same sexual urges. Now throw everyone into a room with booty music and fewer rules than a Charlie Sheen night out.

If I had hooked up with as many people as this guy did (and he said he was an average gay dude, not a stud), my penis would've turned gangrene and fallen off by the time I shed my diapers.

Scientists should do a study on that. Maybe they could clone a kid out of a gay guy's penis cells and make him a superhero. I have no idea how his hasn't fallen off.

I personally do not agree with the lifestyle, whether it's a choice or not. Everything about the way I was raised says to me it's wrong. I have had a number of gay & lesbian acquaintances, co-workers and friends over the years.

I'm not sure how you base a fact off what you're assuming to be an average, but I understand your point. My point, however, is that there are plenty of promiscuous straight men and women out there, and the consequences of their behavior are much the same as the behavior of homosexuals who also practice promiscuity.

The notion that every gay guy wants to sleep with each other one is flawed. As heterosexuals, those of us who are committed to our partner would not want to sleep with anyone else, and even those without partner aren't going to go sleeping with everyone who shares their sexual preference. Gays are human, and have attactions, both physical and mental. If big brawny gay guy doesn't have a thing for the string bean nerd gay guy, odds are they won't be sleeping together simply out of sexual preference, in the same fashion that a straight girl wouldn't sleep with a string bean nerd straight guy simply because he fit her gender preference.

If that's the choice they've made, then there's nothing I can do about it. I can pray that they are convicted of that sin and that they turn away from that choice. But don't flaunt it in front of me and expect me to accept it because I never will.

Your right...its those 2 things that are destroying our society.

Well if I ended up raising a gay child...I would be proud.

If I wasn't proud I would be shaming all of my gay friends.

We just have differences in opinions.

There are some of us who believe that its nature and not nurture, that God still loves all of his children, NO MATTER WHAT their sexual preference is.

But don't blame homosexuality on ruining our society.

I can agree on that. Its not the state's business to teach sexual preference, regardless of the way you look at it. However, it is part of the educational experience to learn tolerance of those who are like you and those not like you.

for those who downplay it, lemme ask...what would u do if your own daughter or son told you they were gay? you can't say you wouldn't be the least bit upset. as a father, I would feel like I failed my son.

I'd feel like a failure if I didn't do everything to support the child, regardless of what his or her sexual orientation is. Unconditional love is just that.

If that was not your intention, then I apologize.

Of course God loves his children. But he hates the sin. Just like he hates murder. If your child murdered someone, you would be greatly hurt, but you wouldn't hate them. The same principle applies here. You hate the action and would do anything to try and change it.

If my daughter tells me she is gay I will do NOTHING to try to "change" her. I will support her and help her deal with any feelings she will be facing

nobody said anything about not supporting them. i'm talking your own personal reaction knowing the hardships your kid will endure because of that lifestyle.

Personally I would not be dissapointed, ashamed, hurt or anything like that. I would be proud my child has told me and that they are confident enough in themselves to live whatever lifestyle

That reaction would only occur if as a parent, you expect your child to adhere to a certain sexual orientation. Such an assumption isn't safe to make. Simply put, each human being has a 50/50 chance of being heterosexual or homosexual. Its foolish to just assume that your child will share your orientation, when the odds can go either way.

As for hardships, that's where the support of family and friends come in. People don't have to support the lifestyle, but they must accept it. Its reality.

Yeah I think people assume that there are all of these hardships that they will endure...

Some deal fine, not a care in the world, others take it to heart.

But I think that has to do with the kind of support that they have. If they are raised that they will be loved no matter what, they won't be ashamed, and beat down by any comments, etc. that are thrown their way.

It saddens me that they have to be reminded of their orientation. I mean its natual for them.

We don't remind each other every day that we are straight...again it brings me back to the who cares.

But I understand, we have to agree to disagree.

Because I really don't wish to delve into the religious aspect of the whole topic.

sure thing boss.
in my opinion, if ya wanna be gay, that's whatever. but when you take it to a ridiculous level, that's when I get annoyed. for instance, I work with this HUGE flaming lesbian. I'm talkin massive amounts of tatoos, piercings, butched out hair, sports bra 24 7, the whole 9. this chick will get PISSED OFF if u a) call her by her legal feminine name or b) if u respond with a "yes ma'am" to her. now we work in a call center with over a 1000 people and this chick has taken MANY people to HR just for THINKING they were lookin at her funny and then blaming it on her being gay. she draws massive attention and yet is upset and totallt insecure. people like that are what push me the wrong way.

I too, will not get into the religious aspect of the issue. Instead, here are some links to several sources on the issue. They are at the least educational.

How religious conservatives and liberals interpret the Bible (http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibl.htm)

Skeptics Annotated Bible (http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/gay/long.htm)

Gays and Religion (http://www.bibble.org/gay/religious.html)

Lee Salisbury article (http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Oct04/Salisbury1015.htm)

What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality (http://www.soulforce.org/article/homosexuality-bible-gay-christian)

What The Bible Says (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/assault/bible/)

Gay Bible (http://www.gay-bible.org/)

That last one is a really interesting read and site in general. :p
