Dear Carrie Prejean,

When Perez Hilton attacked you for your answer to his question about gay marriage, I wanted to defend you.  Not because I agree with your stance on gay marriage–which I actually disagree with–but because I wanted to give you credit for being honest and not giving a phony canned answer that you knew would help you win.  You stuck by your beliefs, even if they weren’t P.C.

But this morning I heard that you’re planning to launch a campaign against gay marriage.

Since the day after the Miss USA pageant aired, you’ve been all. over. TV. talking about how you know your answer cost you the pageant, but you would stand by it.  I gotta say – I’m getting a little sick of all the attention you’re getting.

It seems like to me that this whole thing has gone from you speaking out for what you believe in to just another way for you to get media exposure. No one ever remembers the runner-up…unless she does something ridiculous to stay in the headlines…

Don’t get me wrong, I still think you’re allowed to have your beliefs, even if I don’t agree with them, but now I think you’re taking it a little too far.  Yes, farther than Perez.

You say that the reason you oppose gay marriage is because it goes against the “traditional values” of our country.  Excuse me, but you’re in a beauty pageant–how does prancing around in a bikini with a spray tan and breast implants support “traditional values”?  You know what I want to start?  A campaign against beauty pageants for setting unrealistic and unattainable standards of beauty for young women.  Read More »

In case you missed it, there’s a whole bunch of controversy surrounding Miss USA first runner-up, Miss California, Carrie Prejean.  During the interview portion of Sunday night’s competition, she was asked by gossip columnist Perez Hilton, one of the judges, her thoughts on gay marriage.  To this, she answered honestly (although rather awkwardly and maybe not politically correctly), “We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think 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.”

Her answer got a mixed reaction of boos and cheers from the audience, and immediately sparked controversy after the show, from a shouting match in the lobby of the Las Vegas hotel in which the ceremony took place, to every news outlet speculating that her remarks were the reason that she didn’t win the crown.
