you are wrong, the question was if every state should follow suit in legalizing same-sex marriage, and why or why not.
it would be nice if everyone could stand up for their opinions, and if everyone could treat others how they would like to be treated for their own views. great answer Miss CA

The following is my open letter to Perez Hilton:

iliiifieslessons.blogspot.com
Dear Perez Hilton,
Let’s be honest here, this had NOTHING to do with the issue of “gay rights” and EVERYTHING to do with a MEDIA WHORE who has realized that your fifteen minutes of fame are over and are just grasping at straws to keep your name alive. I have NOTHING against you CHOOSING to be gay and I have NOTHING against you exercising your RIGHT to express yourself. But, what I DO have a problem with is the hypocrisy you exercise by attacking someone for expressing views that differ from yours… ESPECIALLY when YOU are the one who asked the question! I have no doubt in my mind that you were CHOSEN as a judge for the sole purpose of asking that question of Miss California. I’m not sure you realize this, but we ALL have a God given AND Constitutional right to believe what we want and express ourselves the way we want. People like you are no different than Hitler who preached about loving all people, but when a group of people didn’t believe the way he believed and acted the way he wanted them to act, he attacked them for it, and we all know the way that ended.
But, to be honest, I would really like to thank you for your example of what I have been trying to show people that those who believe as you do are… your recent rant on Miss California’s GOD GIVEN RIGHT to express herself in response to YOUR question during the Miss America pageant proves EXACTLY the kind of person people like you are. The sad thing is, there actually are homosexuals who respect the right of others to not agree with their lifestyle and respect their right to stand where they stand on the issue of gay marriage, but its people like you who make the whole look bad. You just became the poster child for everybody who lives like you do and believe like you do, which in the end is probably what you wanted all along. You DEMAND people respect you for your way of thinking and CHOICE of lifestyle. BUT if they don’t you attack them for disagreeing with you. You DEMAND acceptance and tolerance but REFUSE to give it in return. You’re all NOTHING but a bunch of HYPOCRITES and COWARDS!

What a hateful person Mr. Hilton has shown himself to be. He acts like a toddler who didn't get his way. Wow, I thought they really tried to find inteligent judges for these pagents. Shame on them for not picking people of good character and strong people who can actually handle it if someone disagrees with them. Kudos to Miss California! This is still a free country last time I checked.
April 20th, 2009 3:09 PM
this sounds like someone being taken hostage in a country and being forced to say something against their will or be punished. most Americans are for traditional marriage. most liberals are not for freedom of speech unless it benefits them. enough of this nonsense already.
April 20th, 2009 3:36 PM
I guess you're not allowed to be Miss USA if you're a Christian. I hope Miss California sues since she only lost due to Hilton's anti-Christian bigotry.
April 20th, 2009 3:50 PM
It is unfortunate that a beautiful contestant can be voted against because of her beliefs. I thought this was America and that everyone has the 5th ammendment right which is freedom of speech. She should not have been judged by her own morals and values. A question such as that should not have even been asked! Yes, every state has the right to make their own law, and every person should have the right to their own personal opinion. Infact, it would be great if there were states that were for the homosexuals and for the straight people... that way, if you are for being gay you have a state where you can rome free.. and if you are straight and don't want your children to be surrounded by such disgust, well, you would know that your state doesn't support such a thing!
April 20th, 2009 3:52 PM
I'm homosexual myself, but that Hilton huy is an obnoxious jerk.

I think she should have lost because of her answer. Being a pageant women means that you are the face of a nation and your beliefs do come into effect when having the belief that civil liberties should be denied based on sexual orientation or for any other reason. It is inherently wrong and has been taught to us that it is wrong throughout history over and over again. This is the same as if she was participating in the 1960 MIss USA pageant and said "I believe only white people should vote, sorry, no offense, but that is just how I was raised." The question was aimed to separate bigots from excepting, loving people: which is what MIss USA should be represent. She does have a right to believe whatever she wants but she does not have the right, a someone representing an entire nation, to support the denial of other people's rights, that is why she lost.

It is a disgrace, the epithets that are being hurled on this website. It is an equal disgrace that this woman believes that her personal views do or should have anything to do with the rights of others. It is a further disgrace that the comments posted here largely echo her muddled, confused, and unintelligible answer. Paris, my old friend, unfortunately no one sees your efforts to uncover the vapidity behind these contests and between her ears: I suppose you might have known better. The audience here just doesn't know squat. Keep on rockin' in the free world--for as much longer as it is free. To those of you who have posted comments with words like "homo" in them--good luck!
April 20th, 2009 4:30 PM
i think it's AWESOME people have responded to this article with their OWN OPINIONS, no matter if they find her disgraceful or brave.
it would probablu REALLY SUCK if people/your boss/the media made a HUGE DEAL everytime you didnt have an opinion that didn't match theirs...
April 20th, 2009 5:14 PM
I did not watch the pageant. I don't care which state the woman is from. This was an answer that she gave, because this was what she believed. It would have been easy for her to say the politically correct response. But instead she did the right thing; she gave her OPINION, which is what the question asked. It's a sad day when you cannot say what you feel, but instead you have to worry about offending anyone and everyone. The problem is, she said what the majority of people in this country feel. If it wasn't the majority, he wouldn't have to ask this question?
April 20th, 2009 5:29 PM
The woman deserved to lose. We simply cannot reward people who are against equal rights for all. What if she was asked about blacks marrying whites? To be a role model (even for a silly outdated thing such as winning a pageant), a person simply cannot be full of hate and against equal rights for all.
She justly lost.
Fortunaetly, she probbaly learned a valuable lesson. You must love and be loved-do no harm, spread love, not hate.
The world is changing for the good in this regard. There is no argument against gay marriage besides a religious one, which of course has no basis in reality. One man's spiritual beliefs is another man's silly fiction.
Believe what you want, but do not seek to take the righst of otehrs away.
and, hardyharhar-no, a state does nto have teh right to vote on the rights of a minority-what';s next? outlawing mormons? the baptists? if one is susceptible, then all are...
April 20th, 2009 5:50 PM
Dear Amalgamate,
Just because you are against gay marriage, it doesn't mean you HATE gays. Her belief is her belief; you're saying she has no right to her belief if it interfears with some one elses rights. No one has the right to do anything they want. If so, you could have an argument to do any thing illegal because you have rights. As far as being a role model, she is a bigger role model, because she did say what she thought was right and not what others wanted her to say. (That's a good lesson to teach our children. "Do what you believe is right, not what others think you should do.")
April 20th, 2009 6:44 PM
i believe every american citizen has the right to freely express themselves in a non-violent manner.
guess that makes me a hate monger and, ironically, a bigot.
kudos to gene AND miss CA, i happen to be gay and i think it's an outrage that she's being critized not only perez hilton but also by this very website. just because you dont understand someones opinions or morals doesnt mean you have the right to look-down at them. she has the right to express her opinions (especially when asked!) just as you have the right to give your opinion about every celebrity that you mock and critize. instead of bringing her down, you should be thankful you live in a country where you're born with the right of free speech

Let's just say for the sake of "what if"... they had an Alternative Lifestyle contest and Perez Hilton was a contestant and let's say a question was asked from the Bible concerning what God said about how He ordained marriage. Now what do you suppose his answer would be? Should we get in an uproar because of his answer?
First of all, God does love everybody but He cannot love the sin. Our arguement can't be about lifestyles of people, they need to be led to level ground and that ground starts at the cross of Jesus Christ, because only his finished work can and will change hearts and minds of people, alternative lifestyle people, murders, rapist, liars, thiefs, child porn addicts, and on it goes... they all, as we true Christians know, need to start their journey to a "transformed" mind at the foot of the cross. We can only be a voice of reason... after that it's their choice and their consequence. God doesn't create "junk", sin distorts people's view of a life God intents and self-centeredness disrupts people from enjoying true satisfaction.
April 20th, 2009 7:07 PM
By the way. Being gay is not a race as black or white is. It is called sexual preference. Vocabulary people.
April 20th, 2009 9:10 PM
What the F%%k!! I am so sick of Lesbian & Gay right crap being pushed down our throats it's sickning!! This is a beauty Contest. If this IDIOT wants to promote GAY S%^T go on Rosie. Problem is, like most Famous Gay People, If thier partners admitted the truth, thier only with them for the MONEY!! Look at Rosie!! I couldnt even sleep with bthat for all her money, and the attitude!! Defianately BULL DYKE!!
April 20th, 2009 10:11 PM
First off...Who is perez hilton anyway??? Whoever he is he's had his 15 minutes so lets get on with our lives.
Why was he a judge of anything???? Who thought he could judge???? The producers were scraping the bottom of the barrow(definition-a castrated male swine) for him to be there.
This "it" is an idiot.... called her bitch but wanted to call her the "c" word. hilton is the "c" word no no I am sorry he has only an ASSHOLE!!!
Ms.Calf. said what she believed to be right her opinion so back off. "it" learn some manners and get a life will you!!!
Americans don't want to see or hear from you again!!! What a LOSER!!!!!!
April 20th, 2009 10:19 PM
I'm not from CALIF. but if I was I would vote yes to PROP 8.
April 20th, 2009 10:59 PM
Carrie Prejean answered her question with honesty. I used to think that these pageants were all fake. Now I know that some of the people really do tell the truth. I believe that people can do whatever they want as far as marriage is concerned. However, she answered her a tough question with honesty and she should have won. I don't agree with her views but I agree with her honesty and integrity.
April 20th, 2009 11:28 PM
That was truly a terrible question to ask because it is so controversial. If he was going to ask it then he should have been prepared for any answer. The only way for him to respond is by saying, "I respect your opinion even if I don't agree." All the more reason for her to have won. But alas he has only embarrased himself by reacting the way he did and the question he asked. Should she lie just to win? I think not.
April 20th, 2009 11:31 PM
This is not an issue between librerals and conservatives. This is about answering a question with honesty. I'm very liberal on certain issues and very conservative on other issues. The issue is that Carrie should not have lost for being honest. The judge was incorrect and he owes Carrie an apology.
April 20th, 2009 11:54 PM
What she should have said was "Ms. Hilton, Shame on you for bringing your own political agenda into this event. Try another question or I will just recite my opinion on selfish prima donna's and the gay hollywood mafia that perpetuates their inane behavior." Perez just admitted that it is OK to discriminate based on views. So now an employer does not have to ask if you are gay, they can just ask your views on gay marriage. If you say yes and the employer thinks the answer should be no....BTW, Perez always seemed like a catcher rather than a pitcher. He sure proved me wrong and put it in Trump's @$$ by making the runner up the winner just because she doesn't see the world the same way he does. Miss Cal easily blew the rest of the competition away. We'll see more of her ala Vanessa Williams. Does anyone remember the name of the contestant that replaced Vanessa? Let's face facts, Perez is famous for the same reasons that you watch a train wreck.

Please stop the inane banter about rights concerning personal preferences. Pedophiles have personal preferences but only a peophile would think it OK to act on them. Gay is OK but just like a man can't get pregnant, Same sex couples can't get married. The reason is not because of a lack of love, or committment, or even an issue of right or wrong. It is because the definition is a union between man and woman. Look, there was no definition problems with rainbows, the words gay and glad, and the reasons for bath houses so same sex couples hijacked all of those. It just so happens that same sex couples want to hold onto this one so go get your own ceremony and name it something you'll cherish forever. Then call Perez and tell him he's a public relations nightmare for your cause.
April 21st, 2009 12:09 AM
Perez what is WRONG with you??? Do you know that Mr. Liberal Icon, President Barack Obama and his cronies, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and almost EVERY person in the DEMOCRATIC party OPPOSES gay marriage??????????? So does 70% of America. Miss California has a right to express her opinion, and I respect her for it. I think these pageants are very demeaning but for the first time, I feel that something good came out of it. It shows that these showoffy physically beautiful women can actually THINK rather than just show their body parts. Instead of applauding her for her courage to state HER opinion fully knowing that you support gays, you're badmouthing her and disqualifying her. Shame, people like this need to be deported. They are destroying this country.
