Miss California, Carrie Prejean answers honestly, with villain Perez holding the microphone
I was sitting here paging through the news on the BBC RSS feed this morning as I’m prone to do, when I read about the politically correct “uproar” at the Miss USA Pageant.
Personally, the subject of gay marriage doesn’t bother me one way, or another. I really don’t care what other people do, but I’m incredibly impressed with the answer given by Carrie Prejean (Miss California) in front of a liberal audience
Quote:
—
“I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody there. But that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be,”

To this, the raging nutbag idiot Perez Hilton, stirred the proverbial pot by blogging about how Carrie is a “dumb B***H”, while Keith Lewis, co-director the Miss California competition, which Prejean won to make it into the Miss USA pageant ran out to grab his 15 minutes to express how “saddened” he was at her “offensive answer”.
This is just insane to me. Carrie Prejean was verbally ambushed by the ever-offensive Hilton with a question that could not be answered without offending SOMEONE out there. His intent, regardless of the outcome, was to stir the pot and gain publicity for himself.
Had she answered in favor of gay marriage, she would have both angered the majority of Americans (losing the pageant), but most of all, she would have betrayed her own conscience.
To that end, I would submit that Perez Hilton is the villain here, while I applaud Carrie for her willingness to stand up against the liberal political correctness and have conviction in her own beliefs.
I guess, in all that I just feel the need to say “Kudos and well done Carrie“. While I may, or may not agree with what you said, I thank you for reminding us that there are people still out there who are unafraid of saying what they mean, regardless of the consequences..
Strangely, I have the feeling she’ll be quickly snapped up and employed somewhere in the journalism field, and I really wish her all the best.

I have a dog in this hunt because I am a Christian with a Biblical world view. Carrie couldn’t have made any other answer and still have stayed true to her Biblical teaching and Holy Spirit-guided conscience. When I see a rectally implanted same-sex fetus, then people like Perez Hilton will may gain a little credibility. Donald Trump has the same decision to make as Carrie did. Let’s see what he does with his opportunity.

Trump may fire Miss California. Announcement coming Tuesday.
Beauty pageant or not, the fact that Miss California may actually lose her state title illustrates the possible serious repercussions of having an anti-gay marriage stance. People have already lost jobs for supporting a Yes vote on Prop 8. Intolerant gay activists have targeted individuals and businesses in extremely harmful ways.
Yes, the Miss California USA title is a paid position in terms of endorsements, compensation, benefits, allowances, etc. Whether you consider beauty pageants as legitimate enterprises or not, losing one’s job is serious.
