Just a quick shout out in support of Miss California and her willingness to voice her true opinion on same sex marriage during the Miss USA pageant Sunday evening. I think a lot of young women would have given the politically correct answer or would have avoided giving a solid answer at all. But not Miss California! She expressed it was not her desire to hurt anyone's feelings, but gave her honest opinion that she feels marriage should be between one man and one woman. And it is likely she lost the crown due to her answer. She came in first runner up next to Miss North Carolina.
This morning on the news they interviewed Perez Hilton, who asked Miss California what her stance was on the subject. He said he marked her low in her response because she was too religious sounding (she never mentioned God, Christ, or any other church-related phrase) and was not able to give an answer that was "savvy" enough. Personally, I doubt Mr. Hilton would be saying the same thing if the tables were turned. If Miss California had spoke up in support of gay marriage he would not have marked her response low because it offended some people; he would have cheered her on.
So although Miss California only came in as first runner up at the pageant, she is the winner in my book.

I completely agree. But apparently, she's not Hollywood enough for them, even though the majority of the State voted against gay marriage.
ReplyDeleteI thought what she said was great. Good for her. I think she will never regret her decision to say it either. Thanks for posting it on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this story!!
ReplyDeleteI too support Miss California for her willingness to stand for her beliefs. What an impressive girl.
Amen to that. I think she is an incredible role model, and I am so proud of her that she told the truth and stood up for what she believes. Perez Hilton is obviously an angry person and found what he considered an easy target in her...and thus the rant today. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I'm proud of her!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! The thing that makes me mad is it was her opinion and so many people are hashing that, we have the right to free speech! She apologized to those she may have offended, but people still find ways to make her look bad! Go Miss California!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and for your comment. I loved this post about a public figure who will speak against what is trying to be made popular - and from California! We need to keep encouraging these kind of people in a day when it is harder to be respected for having standards.
ReplyDeleteI saw this and she got robbed! I completely agree with you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to still have people who stand up for what they believe in.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this story really boosted my spirits tonight.
She is the winner!!!
