Good for You!

The last clip I watched of a beauty pageant, before today, was the Miss USA contestant who fell on her rear.  Before that, it was the hilarious Miss Teen USA who butchered an answer during the question round.  Today I finally watched the now infamous clip from Sunday's Miss USA Pageant, and the response from pseudo-celeb Perez Hilton.  

I don't understand what the problem is.  I honestly don't.  Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was asked an intentionally pointed question by a (and I use this term loosely) celebrity judge with an agenda and an axe to grind.  I found it convenient that the openly super-gay Perez asked a question to Miss Prejean, who the judges probably knew attends San Diego Christian College, and who lives in a state that just passed Prop 8 in the last election.  Miss Prejean answered the question openly and honestly, as she should have.  Should she have made up an answer just to win the crown?  Should she have been given a ZERO for her answer just because she thinks marriage is sacred, and be defined as one man/one woman?  Since when was it a crime to believe in something? 

The backlash against her is a bunch of hooey.  

Why is it okay for people to persecute her for having an opinion?  Is it because it's different than another's?  Perez Hilton needs to realize that the world doesn't revolve around one person, and it's okay for people to have differing viewpoints.  To go on his video blog and call Miss California a b-i-t-c-you know the last letter for opposing gay marriage -- that's going too far.  Grow up, sir.  Whatever your personal feelings are on this explosive topic, respect the fact that not everyone shares it.  Again, grow up.

Oh, and by the way - this is Barack Obama's opinion on marriage.  You going to call him the same thing you called Miss California too, Perez?

So can we can Perez a b-i-t-c- you know the last letter because he is a homosexual and his beliefs on marriage are different than ours? I really am bugged that the gay community's attempt to gain tolerance from others, they act intolerant of others. I hope this makes sense. If not, call me and I'll expound!

I agree 100%. It is unfortunate for this woman to have to be faced with something like this. Good for her for not being afraid to say what she believes. That takes alot of courage!
