PEREZ HILTON: "Faggot" Only for the Black Folk

Two and one-half years ago we watched as blogger Perez Hilton almost single-handidly destroyed the career of Grey’s Anatomy Star Isaiah Washington after the actor called cast-member T.R. Knight a “faggott”.

Cloaked behind a banner of political correctness, Hilton led the choir in demanding the near media-lynching that resulted in Washington — a rare Black male face on prime-time TV — losing his job, being publicly chastised and attending “sensitivity” training.

So be it.

Washington’s behavior was certainly uncool — and it’s likely his long-time bad-itude on set was one reason the Grey’s cast was so quick to see him go.

Flash forward to this week and Perez is now the one calling folks “faggot” — and it’s resulted in a bitch-slap!

Obviously, Perez’s beat-up was way out of line — but equally out of line is his insistence that his use of derogatory and anti-Gay language is no big deal.

Well, according to GLBT rights group GLAAD — it is a big deal and Perez needs to account for it.

They’ve asked the blogger to apologize for his bad behavior — which they say “feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community.”

And how.

Perez has unsurprisingly refused — claiming GLAAD’s actions only further victimize his victimhood.

Not really.

More problematic for us is Perez’s dissing double-standard. According to his logic, it’s OK to call people “faggot” if those people (such as Will.I.Am) are Black.  But when a Black man — such as Washington — uses the term, it’s time to prep the noose.

What gives.

No one should be using anti-Gay slurs — especially mass-media types who’ve built their career aggressively and churlishly targeting homophobes.

PEREZ HILTON: Racist. Hypocrite. Bitch-Slapped!

AND — THIS JUST IN: Misogynist, too!
