Lily Allen claims gay blogger Perez Hilton is a misogynist
Pop star Lily Allen has hit out at peopleĀ who make anti-gay statements andĀ described gossip blogger Perez Hilton as “a woman hater” in an interview to be published tomorrow.
Ms Allen is the first woman to appear on the cover of GT (formerly Gay Times) since Princess Diana in 1997.
She told the magazine that she supports equality for gay people.
āI just feel you have no right to hate anyone because of how theyāre born,” the 23-year-old said.
“I think if youāre a human being with a heart in your chest, youāre the same as everyone else.
“Iāve grown up around gay people, black people, adulterers, drug addicts, and I donāt treat anyone differently.ā
Her war of words with Perez Hilton is explored in the interview.
“I find him quite annoyingā¦ as a gay man you should be championing young girls that are going out there and doing their own thing and not slamming them for owning their sexuality and calling them sluts.
“When heās happy heās good and when heās sad about himself heās really horrible ā about everyone.
“Heās a woman hater but I think thatās something to do with his own self loathing.
“So much of what he does is bullying.”
Ms Allen, daughter of actor Keith Allen, shot to fame via social networking site MySpace and released her first album in 2006.
The February Issue of GT goes on sale tomorrow.
