THANK YOU MISS CALIFORNIA FOR STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT LETTING A SILLY TITLE CHANGE YOUR MORALS! I think that all of us that feel the same way as Miss California does, should put a Thank You to her on your blog.
Here is the actual question and answer clip….
Below is an update I got from the YES on 8 campaign. I don’t think I could have said it any better.
Dear Friend,
It seems that there is no place left where gay activists won’t attempt to force their agenda onto the rest of society. Same-sex marriage, of course, is at the top of their list.
Last night during the Miss USA contest, one of the contest judges, gay gossip blogger Perez Hilton, asked Miss California Carrie Prejean that since Vermont has now legalized gay marriage shouldn’t every state follow suit? Ms. Prejean had the courage to express her views and said, “Well, I think it’s 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.”
Ms. Prejean’s comments were cheered by the crowd, but a smattering of jeers could be heard in the background by a few who were incensed at her answer. According to FoxNEWS.com, arguments broke out in the lobby of the theater, with one gay man shouting, “I think it’s ridiculous that she got first runner-up. That is not the value of 95 percent of the people in this audience. Look around this audience and tell me how many gay men there are.” Is there an unwritten rule that Miss USA contestants must hold values in agreement with homosexual activists?
For his own part, Hilton immediately cut a video blog where he ripped Ms. Prejean, calling her a “stupid b***h” and referring to her in language so vile that it can’t even be hinted at by its first letter.
Ms. Prejean was named runner-up in the contest and today there was considerable discussion in the blogosphere about whether her answer might have cost her the title. Prejean told FoxNEWS.com that she had “no regrets” and was happy with the answer she gave.
We’re very proud of Ms. Prejean for speaking her mind in support of traditional marriage. She represented the silent majority in America and expressed a point of view that over 7 million California voters also expressed just last November. In fact, in the history of this issue every single state that has voted on it has voted to affirm traditional marriage.
The outcry from some activists in the gay community over Ms. Prejean’s comments are indicative of how far they will go to force their same-sex marriage agenda on society. Miss California is vilified by Perez Hilton in a video blog for respectfully answering his question, and gay men are shouting against her in the theater lobby. Yet we are supposed to take homosexual leaders at face value that if same-sex marriage were legalized they would never force this teaching onto children in the schools.
Thank you, Miss California, for knowing the truth about marriage and standing up for it, even when you knew that your honest answer may hinder your chances for the crown of Miss USA.
Sincerely,
Ron Prentice

You know I just have a sec so I didn’t get to read the whole statement but I love what she said and if I could give her the crown myself I would. I really hate that she didn’t win for standing up for what is right but she is the winner to me. Yahoo had a blurb up about it with the video. They tried to catch your eye by making her think she made some major mistake. When I watched it I was really upset they tried to imply she did anything wrong. She did awesome! One more good thing in California.
I was disappointed that Miss California didn’t win. She answered the question honestly and gave her opinion. You cannot fault someone for having an opinion or preference, whether it may be right or wrong. I don’t like how poorly the gay activists reacted to her answer. Yes there are thousands of people like Miss California out there, I don’t know why they seemed to be surprised and think we should keep our mouths shut at what we believe in. We are taking a stand because that is our right as Americans. Isn’t that what “they” are saying? Works both ways. We just seem to be more mature about the whole situation than they are. Good blog.
I love living in Texas because out here it isn’t thrown in your face everywhere you go. We have gay people out here but they are not throwing it in your face. I just imagine that is how California is. I may be wrong but my MIL moved out from California and she said it was horrible. She was in Napa.
