Carrie Prejean gay marriage controversy
Posted on April 21st, 2009
Carrie Prejean, Miss California, is caught up in a controversy because of a question she answered during the 2009 Miss USA Pageant. Perez Hilton, who for some reason was a judge based on his lovely drawings on his site, asked the following questions:
Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?
Carrie responded with the:
Well I think its great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.
Because of that answer she is being ripped apart online. Perez issued a video response where he shows no class whatsoever towards the opinion expressed by Prejean. Was her answer politically correct or pageant worthy – probably not, but was it a valid answer where she expressed her own opion and belief – yes. Perez believes she should have conformed to a canned response to make everyone happy. I feel that a person having an opinion and their own thoughts is what makes this a great country. I say leave the woman alone for being honest.

I want to comment because as Miss California said in America we have that right.It was obvouis that the reason you ask that question was cause it was personal for you. And wanted a vote to make it legal in all states.And figured she would say whatever would please the judges.Well hats off to Miss California for not being ashamed to stand by her morals and beliefs.And there was also just as many that agreed with her.Myself included. Also My opinion is when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah he showed us what his opinion is..agrees with Miss America.And if God is with you ,who can be against you.And don’t mean to offend anyone just my comment.So your name calling was a personal outburst that was not necessary.

Ann, your Christian God might have destroyed Sodom for the reasons you claim, but in Jewish tradition God acted that way because the people violated the laws of hospitality and treatment of strangers. Sex had absolutely nothing to do with it. You could look it up if you want to disturb your complacency.
As for her response to a totally out-of-place question, she is as ignorant as she’s pretty. People in general do not have the freedom in America to marry same sex partners or opposite sex partners. As for “my country”–is she implying everyone who believes differently is an alien? She should work for Michelle Bachman!

Why ask a question in that setting if there’s a 50/50 chance that you’ll get upset with the answer…
It’s almost like a wife asking her husband if she’s fat, expecting him to say “no” then getting upset if he tells her otherwise.
I think that it’s great that she expressed how she feels with confidence instead of throwing out random words like (such as, iraq, south africa).
Besides, there will always be straight, gay, bi people out there. We need to learn to coexist to be more productive as a collection of people who are just trying to live our lives in this world before our last day.
Since religion was thrown into the mix, God created homosexuality… or do you believe that it is the work of the devil? If so, then wouldn’t God do something about it?
Please don’t recite passages from the Bible. They are man’s documentation of what they have seen/heard… Are we worshiping King James when we pick up and read “King James’” version?

======================================
Let me guess, the same liberals who defended a 15 child year old child, Miley Cyrus, being photographed topless are now bashing the adult Carrie Prejean for the same. This is just another example of the schizophrenic morals of liberalism.
======================================
It sounds to me like Prejean regrets these pictures. The hype has nothing to do with morality but everything to do with those who hate Christians and Christian morals doing everything they can to smear and bash Christians. Yes, Virginia, there is an Anti-Christ and many followers.
