Having already issued an official ‘explanation’ of her comments about gay men being “disgusting”, Paris Hilton thought it might be wise to indulge in some damage limitation, so she’s apologised unreservedly. The apology comes after a cab driver in New York recorded her reaction to a gay male friend telling her about the app Grindr which allows gay, bi and curious men to locate each other via GPS in order to essentially hook up. “Ewww! Gay guys are the horniest people in the world” said Paris “They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS. ... I would be so scared if I were a gay guy. You'll ,like, die of AIDS.” Writing on the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation website Paris admitted her comments were totally wrong and suggested she doesn’t actually think gay men are “disgusting” and disease ridden, to her they’re “the strongest and most inspiring” people. She wrote: “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.” So do you think this will be end of it then? Nah, probably not.
