Miss California: Carrie Prejean

All of this over some woman with such integrity that she probably had a boob job, a nose job, and who knows what else trying to win a beauty pageant.

That should make her more qualified to be Miss USA.

She did not have a clear way of expressing what she believed nor did she exhibit any depth of thought with regards to the issue. She could have discussed ways the state can insure legal rights for same sex couples without the institution of marriage, but she did not.

And while Hilton is a tool, her response is just to say she will pray for him rather than to discuss the issue being raised. She epitomizes what bothers people about those who claim to be religious but have no apparent depth of examination.

There's a reason she's in a beauty pagent instead of being off somewhere finding the cure for cancer.

That's why the question never should have been asked. It's supposed to be about bikinis and Vaseline on your teeth.

hey...angel.....did it ever occur to you that "your friend" is seeking seclusion as a shield to bigoted ridicule?

Is his homosexuality and status as HIV/AIDS positive the only source of his shame? Because, if so, that would seem to send a pretty clear message about how the attitudes you hold make people with that lifestyle feel in this country.

I know that if I considered myself one of God's children and a good Christian, the fact that a family friend/loved one felt the need to seclude himself from me would be a pretty good reason to thoroughly investigate my beliefs and the impact they have on other human beings.

C'mon now a good Christian would let the gay self destruct privately.

The new status quo also demands tolerance for gays. I give my own unbegrudingly.

Ms. Prejean could've fudged it like a good little girl and maybe gone on to be Miss America, but instead she was true to her school, suffered the flames (oh, the agony!), and will probably soon be marketed as a Joan of Arc -like action figure for mass political rallies.

My hat's off to her.

What's the most liberal state in the country? I have a feeling you mean California, but as a lifelong Californian I can tell you with certainty that isn't the case.

I was the dumbass who assumed Cali would overwhelmingly pass the marriage bill.

Woo-hoo, was I wrong.

Poise counts!!

Free country.

She was asked a question, she answered. Judges didnt like the answer. She lost.

Is that what this is about? And why the fuck is Paris Hilton judging Miss America/USA/wtf ever?

all you have to do is turn on the TV and hear gay people comparing this to the civil rights movement. that is a total joke.

---

It is a movement with the goal of attaining rights at the civil level. Seems kinda similar to me.

One of my favorite terms for this practice is "oppression olympics." Good stuff.

And I have more of a problem with the fact that this morning on The Today Show she mentioned a plan of involvement with breast and ovarian cancer advocation.

Ugh.

............and somewhere Joe the Plumber reminisces about the times that were.

I'm sorry did California just not vote on this with the Majority of people taking the stance she represented?

She is representing a state after all.

No need to apologize, man. You just made your stand.

I'll gladly help her support marriage between a man and a woman.

Perez, sir, Perez.

From what I have heard the rules of the contest are that contestants will be judged on how well the answer the question not on the content of the answer. Get ready for minute by minute lawsuit coverage from Greta.

I didn't realize gays and lesbians had a term for their practice.
