"Paris Hilton has offered an apology to the LGBT community following the leak of controversial comments this week. The socialite was caught on tape seemingly referring to gay men as &amp;quot;the horniest people in the world&amp;quot; and suggesting that some will &amp;quot;die of AIDS&amp;quot;.  Her spokesperson later insisted that Hilton&amp;#039;s comments were actually a message on the dangers of &amp;quot;unprotected sex&amp;quot; and that she was not speaking about all gay men. Hilton has now released a statement to the Gay &amp;amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to reiterate that she is a &amp;quot;huge supporter of the gay community&amp;quot;. She wrote: &amp;quot;I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word... Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know. &amp;quot;It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay. No-one should have to go through that. Again, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible.&amp;quot;  Hilton concluded: &amp;quot;I hope that everyone can accept my apology and know that it is not who I am or how I feel in any way.&amp;quot; GLAAD also included a note with Hilton&amp;#039;s statement which urged readers to get involved with HIV/AIDS prevention programs. &amp;gt; Paris Hilton paid $1 million for Korean pop video appearance "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
