Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is continuing to open up about his spiritual journey, clarifying that his recent encounter with God has not changed his identity or his desire to find love with a male partner.
In a series of social media posts following a reported 21-day hospital stay, Hilton shared that he experienced what he describes as a powerful, personal encounter with God-an experience that has since led him to engage more deeply with Scripture and reflect publicly on his faith.
On April 18, Hilton posted a video showing himself reading The Everyday Life Bible by Joyce Meyer, explaining that he is using his platform not only to share biblical insights but also to document his life and spiritual growth. Referencing Genesis 24 and the story of Rebekah and Isaac, he described moments where biblical narratives seemed to intersect with real-life conversations he was having.
At the same time, Hilton addressed ongoing public questions about whether his renewed faith would impact his sexuality. His response was direct.
"I am gay. I am very gay," he said. "For the longest time, I used to wish I was not gay, but this is how I am. This is how God made me."
Hilton emphasized that, for him, his sexuality is not a choice and remains unchanged despite what he describes as a transformative spiritual experience. "After God saved me in many ways, I'm still gay-very gay, proudly gay," he added, while affirming his belief that God loves him and his children.
The father of three also spoke candidly about his personal life, sharing that while his children remain his top priority, he remains open to finding love in the future. He reflected on a recent conversation with his mother, who expressed a desire to see him with a partner, but noted that he is content to wait.
Hilton's comments have sparked renewed conversation online, particularly among those navigating questions of faith, identity, and personal transformation. His perspective highlights an ongoing dialogue within contemporary Christianity about how individuals understand and integrate spiritual experiences with their sense of self.
