So you say it’s not okay to be gay, well I think your just evil. You're just some racist who
can't tie my laces; your point of view is medieval
can't tie my laces; your point of view is medieval
- Lily Allen
Like most girls I have become obsessed with the world of Celebrity and the whole culture that goes along with it; Fashion, Romance, Drama, Beautiful People but most of all the gossip. I started off my obsession with publications such as ‘Top Of the Pops’ but as I grew older I craved more so began to read everything I could get my hands on…. More, Heat, Star and Now are just a few of the titles….there was always something about having a shiny new magazine in my hands a cup of tea in the other; it almost became like my therapy…my safe heaven.
About 3 years ago I was told about a site that could not only feed my need for celebrity gossip but would also bring the information to life and give it a much needed personal approach. Perez Hilton, I’m sure many of you would have heard about his site before, after all he is one of the most famous bloggers of all time and has received the reputation as ‘Hollywood ’s most hated man’ as he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks.
So for the past 3 years I have checked his site religiously, sometimes logging in 3 or 4 times a day in need of my next hit of the world of celebrity. I have even become a huge fan of the blogger himself and had the privilege of meeting him in London this summer at a concert he put on ‘One night in London ’ featuring acts such as Diana Vickers, The Hoosiers and Kelis. Perez Hilton has achieved the Status most bloggers can only dream to reach.
One thing that has struck me about his site is how he not only uses it to tell the world about the latest celebrity hook up or fight, he also uses it to share issues close to his heart and it just so happens his latest one has also been close to mine.
In America there has been a HUGE number of teenagers, people my age and younger, committing suicide purely because they where bullied and victimised for being gay…. Now being from Brighton the self proclaimed gay capital of England and having a gay best friend this issue shocked me and I literally felt disgusted. How can another human being discriminate against someone to this extent because of their sexuality?!?
The only positive thing that has come to light in an awful situation is the support of huge stars such as Pink! Daniel Radcliffe, Joel Madden, Ashley Tisdale and Chelsea Handler making video’s in support of Gay Youth encouraging people to be less closed minded and reassuring people that there is acceptance out there for all of the LGBT community.
So, I feel as though I should end raunt here but remember; Love has no boundaries.
