Whether she wants it or not, Carrie Prejean has become a national celebrity.
The reigning Miss California's answer to a question about gay marriage has prompted a number of stars to speak out on the topic, while her references to the bible have sparked a (hopefully healthy) debate among The Hollywood Gossip readers.
Now, in a new interview, Prejean speaks out on a number of topics. Here's a summary of what she had to say:
- Perez Hilton had a hidden agenda at the pageant. Carrie said the self-serving blogger "wanted to go out there and bash me and say things that were very hurtful."
- She would only have coffee with Hilton, who has extended the invitation, if a pastor came along with her.
- She would express her same opinion again, given the chance to do it all over again.
- She doesn't see gay marriage being made legal, on a national level, any time soon.
- People are not born gay. It's a "behavior that develops over time."

Don't care... she needs to get out more because she doesn't even know what she's arguing against... it's pointless to listen to anything else she has to say...

I couldn't have said it better! Carrie needs to keep her head held high, she speaks with her heart. being gay is a choice.

"being gay is a choice. "
She doesn't even say it's a choice...

Gay is not a choice. No one would choose to constantly be ridiculed, chastised, and told they're going to hell. Heterosexuals did not choose to be straight and homosexuals did not choose to be gay.

ok so being gay isnt a choice. its not. i dont care what you say. im not gay but i still know its not a choice. its just who you are attracted to. you cant help that. its just who you like. it might start when your lil. or you may realize it later. its all how you feel. its your feelings about someone. gay guys look at girl and they dont want to be with them. they like guys more. same with girls. its just how they feel. and i can tell you god loves them as well. like it or not. its not like "ohh so i chose to be gay now." no not at all. kinda like being straight its a choice right?

"im sorry i know everyone has their own opinion but i thinks shes a bitch."
Real mature.
"it was a question. he wasnt going out there to bash her. he offerd to take her out to lunch and she says only if there is a pastor prestent."
And did you miss the part he called a cunt, bitch, etc.? Oh, I forgot, you share Perez's maturity level.
"hahaha you dont go to hell for having lunch with someone thats gay hunny."
If she believe that she would outright refuse, not make condition of having a pastor present. No logic to your bashing of her.
"why in the world would you need a pastor. and shes says she would have won if it wasnt for that question. wow thats kind rude for the girl who did win."
Well, then you are going to have to say Perez Hilton was rude then. He said right after the contest she would have won if she answered the question the way he wanted her to. Likewise, Shanna Moakler, another judge, said she lost because she did not show compassion in her answer (whatever that means). Alicia Jacobs said if she could, she would mark her down to 51st place.
So you have two judges who pretty much outright rubbed it in her face and said they made sure she did not win because of what she said in her answer, and another judge who bragged that she scored her low (though did not say she lost because of it).
So, I guess, by your logic, these three judges, especially Hilton, were rude to the lady that won.
Especially Hilton since he made that claim first. Carrie (and millions of others) is led to believe the answer cost her the contest because of judges like Hilton and others who do not know when to keep their mouths shut.
"this just goes to show the right person did win. we dont need someone to win miss usa that would act like this."
You mean act like she has principles?

By that logic, pedophiles can claim they don't have a choice since they say they cannot help who they are attractive to. Likewise, adulterers. Or polygamists.
Not saying that gays do these kinds of things typically (given that straights and gays have folks like that), but my point is that attraction to another is no proof the person does not have a choice.

NO ONE IS BORN GAY! I agree with her. Everybody has a right to their opinion. And one day everyone will see Our Lord and Savior and there will be no doubt then.
