Paris Hilton Apologizes For Gay Slurs
Paris Hilton has given a lengthy apology to GLAAD for her derogatory comments about the gay community that were caught on tape during a September 7 cab ride.
In an audio file released yesterday by RadarOnline.com which you can listen to here, Paris says, "Gay guys are the horniest people in the world. They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."
"I would be so scared if I were a gay guy," Paris adds later on. "You'll like, die of AIDS."

"As anyone close to me knows, I always have been and always will be a huge supporter of the gay community," Paris writes in her apology. "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," she concludes.

"Paris is right that HIV/AIDS can affect anyone," GLAAD responded. "Over thirty years into the AIDS epidemic, better education around HIV/AIDS is still needed by much of the public and the media."
