Perez Hilton and his Mother Talk Prop 8 and LGBT Civil Rights

08/05/2010- by Natasia Langfelder

Perez Hilton and his mother,Teresita made their second video together, talking about the Prop 8 decision. Teresita is pro-marriage equality. This is refreshing, it is good to see a Latina supporting marriage equality.In the media, Latinos are often portrayed as narrow minded and opposed to LGBT rights, when in reality there are people on both sides of the issue, just as there are in other ethnic and cultural groups.

Do you think Teresita is pro-gay because her son became arguably one of the most successful, powerful gay men in the media? Teresita says that whether or not her son was gay, she would be for marriage equality. She says that with age comes wisdom and as she has gotten older she has realized that marriage equality is the way to go. She is also pro-LGBT adoption rights. They close the video with an invocation to the Supreme Court to have an open mind, should the Prop 8 case make it that far, then they high five. Watch the vid below:
