90210 star says: I’m sorry
Dustin Milligan, stars i CW's 90210 (plays Ethan Ward) writes on his blog; "A couple years ago, my roommates and I made a video, sort of like a Pilot "Webisode" for a show about us (hilarious!) that never got made beyond two episodes which are now floating around on the internet somewhere.
Anyway, in pilot said, I use a derogatory word when speaking about an Elvis song; I say he’s the King of Homos.”
From Dustin Milligan’s Blog:
To all my readers, gay, straight, bi, still deciding: I’m truly sorry and deeply embarrassed by this. My personal views on homosexuality and bisexuality and sexuality in general are so far from the dark place where these kinds of hateful terms come from and are not at all reflected accurately by such a statement.
Especially now, when same-sex marriage is such a big issue in the U.S, I feel the days when jokingly calling someone a “homo” or saying “that’s gay” are simply over.
No one should be made to feel like they or their sexuality/lifestyle is synonymous with “stupid”, and no one should be made to feel like they are less than anyone else because of who they love.
