Perez Hilton & the Gay Rights Movement

A thoughtful piece on Advocate.com that begins about "Putrid Perez," and what a hateful waste of space he is. The meat of the article, however, is the writer's argument that it is unfair and counter-productive to label all opponents of same-sex marriage as hateful homophobes. Moreover, he defends Carrie Prejean's (Miss California) statement, which was not actually all that offensive. (Although he recognizes she's kind of a famewhore too, but argues that it doesn't excuse Perez Hilton's treatment of her--he called her a "dumb bitch.")
