    Default Miss California

    I just found this interesting...

    Story: FIRST I just heard about it vaguely and saw the Clip from the competition. I was not offended at all. She stood for her beliefs and articulated them on TV. She did not flame anyone or anything, she just explained that she was raised to believe marriage should be between man and wife.

    ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that. Sure I found it a bit old-fashioned, but it was in no way offending.

    BTW, this is a joke, right?

    Just wondered how this all has been recieved in the states?

    I later heard her on some interviews, and sometimes she really says stupid things.

    The reason I care is because I have some gay friends really interested...

    Heh this got mentioned on the US-dominated Christian forums I browse. The general consensus was that she kind of lost the authority to make such judgements after walking around half naked on TV.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    I'd do her.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    It wouldn't surprise me at all if this wasn't a setup from the beginning. The Miss USA pageant has lost it's relevance, and I can see the Donald pulling something like this just to get some publicity.

    That aside, who cares? She has her beliefs, and she stated them. It's not like the winner gets any authority, it's just a beauty pageant.

    The second link is not her, it's definitely a joke.

    Miss Cali's biggest mistake was poor PR savvy. The judge that asked the question is Perez Hilton, celeb "insider", gossiper, and attention whore extraordinaire. He will go as far with this as possible to keep himself in the news, and has the contacts to dig up any potential dirt on the girl. He's also openly gay. She either should have known better, or it was done on purpose.

    You say that when Miss California says it. Put those same words in a post by one of your "favorite" patrons here in the Backroom and the result would be different I'd hazard to guess. But in looking at Miss California, I'd say there is absolutely nothing wrong with your statement.

    Yeah *still shuddering from last year's mess-up of that geography-related question*

    Agreed. That was quite likely to be a trap question, and I do believe reading somewhere that it was intended to be such. In any case, that was a very sensitive issue, one that should not have been asked in any similar situation. Just like abortion and affirmative action, just to name a few.

    Eh... it's all over blown. Not sure why Hilton was even on the board, his reaction to her answer was funny imho.... she made a clear statement of where she was at and there should be nothing wrong in stating that. Kudos to her also for continuing to stand up for herself afterward during her interviews...
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    That is most kind of you, Andres.

    I am happy that you are willing to take her to an appropriate setting and show her by example that there is nothing wrong with gay love. Get some hot steamy sex going with a guy and show her the error of her homophobic ways!
