Paris Hilton Apologizes for her 'Gay Men have AIDS' rant

She sends her apology via GLAAD

As anyone close to me knows, I always have been and always will be a huge supporter of the gay community. I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans and their families with the comments heard this morning. I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word.

HIV/AIDS can hurt anyone, gay and straight, men and women. It's something I take very seriously and should not have been thrown around in conversation.

Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know. It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay. No one should have to go through that. Again, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible. I hope that everyone can accept my apology and know that it is not who I am or how I feel in any way.

Thank you for taking a minute to read this, I love you.

But the damage has been done, boo.

Paris Hilton said Most Gay Men have AIDS - AUDIO

In a taxi cab, the falling star made some foolishness and hateful statements about Gay men.

The Dunce Cap said:

"Ewww. Eww. To get f**ked? Gay guys are the horniest people in the world."

"They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."

Hear it for yourself


The funny and sad part is her publicist who writes:

"Paris Hilton’s comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life threatening disease," the rep is quoted as saying. "The conversation became heated, after a close gay friend told her in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex. He also discussed a website that encourages random sex by gay men with strangers. As she was being shown the website her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the site."

Really? That was the worse statement ever. My 6 year-old niece could write something better than that.
