Kutcher: Calling someone ‘gay,’ ‘fag’ as bad as ‘n-word’

The Southern Voice reports:

ashton_twitterActor Ashton Kutcher took to Twitter this afternoon to tweet his disgust at people who use “gay” and “fag” as insults.

In typical Twitter style, where capitalization and punctuation are optional, Kutcher wrote: “can we just get clear, calling some one ‘gay’ or ‘fag’ is as derogatory as calling someone a ‘nigger’. U look like an idiot when you do it.”

The statement came in an exchange between Kutcher and another user on the popular social networking site, which allows users to communicate in 140-character bursts to those who choose to follow their Twitter feeds.

I have to say, though, it be much, much better if Kutcher was gay, not just gay-friendly. But I’ll take gay-friendly, I guess. Darn it.

No secrets here: my celebrity crush on Ashton ranks just about as high as the one on Adam Brody (here and here) and Josh Hartnett.

    Matt you do know that Adam Brody is Jewish. I thought you should know since your a christian.

  • Adam, Jewish? I didn’t know that. But doesn’t matter. Same God, right?

    And… on a somewhat related note… I’ve never understood why the Christians, Jews and Muslims have spent the past 2,000 years fighting and killing each other when we all claim to worship the same God. Makes no sense whatsoever.
