GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has issued a challenge for Perez Hilton after rebuking the blogger for using an anti-gay slur during a confrontation with Black Eyed Peas' member will.i.am.

Perez followed up his first response to GLAAD with yet another 600 word statement late Tuesday, which reads, in part, "The other night in Toronto, after feeling physically threatened by a verbally abusive will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, I chose the most hurtful word I know to hurl at him. I was in an out-of-the ordinary situation and used a word that I would not utter under normal circumstances."

GLAAD responded to Perez's statement, of which the organization says "[stopped] short of apologizing," with a call to action.

"Now that Perez Hilton has acknowledged that words can hurt, GLAAD calls on him to take this opportunity to reflect on his use of demeaning and defamatory language against many different communities on PerezHilton.com -- not as Perez Hilton, but as Mario Lavandeira, an openly gay man who just went through a scary and traumatic experience."
