Hilary Duff Thinks Calling Stuff “Gay” Is Totally Retarded
8 October 2008, 4:45 PM. By Daniel Mauser
Hilary Duff is working with the “Think B4 You Speak” campaign to dissuade young people who replace words with single letters and numbers from describing things that are dumb or bad as “gay:”
The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) joined with The Advertising Council today to launch the first national multimedia public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to address the use of anti-gay language among teens.
The campaign will be unveiled Friday by actress Hilary Duff, who stars in one of the new television PSAs, at GLSEN’s annual Respect Awards - Los Angeles gala. Comedian Wanda Sykes appears in another TV spot created for the campaign.
We’re totally gay for this. Check out Hilary’s PSA. It’s, like, so after the jump:

Thank you Hilary! That really bugs me too and I’m straight.
Good for Hillary Duff. Not afraid to make a statement about hurtful words. Now if we could just get people to realize that it’s so hurtful to use the word retarded. If you know certain words hurt others, why do it? Slurs hurt.
