I know that is completely out of character for me to say (referring to the title), but I'm going to follow in the footsteps of good ol' Essy here and post today about the Miss California Gay Marriage controversy. I would first like to say that I have many gay friends and feel in no way whatsoever superior to them. I respect their fight for gay marriage and applaud them for being so passionate about their priveledges and freedoms. However, all of the lashing out against Miss California is completely ridiculous. She was asked a question and because she is a dedicated Christian she answered in a manner that was honest with herself and her beliefs. Many people are saying that she is representing California and should have maybe lied or avoided the truth, but I say that she IS representing California. Which side won when voting for Prop 8 again? Oh yeah, YES won, meaning that the majority of California opposes gay marriage. How is she in any way not properly representing California? And who is Perez Hilton to say "I scored her zero for that answer and that lost her the crown"??? Ridiculous. If you are going to fight hard for your freedoms, you sure as hell better respect the rights of others to speak their beliefs. Perez... your hypocrite is showing.
And on another note, I'm very proud of my office-mate and friend Laura for placing 4th in the pageant. Woooo! Not bad for her 2nd pageant ever, eh?
