Miss California was either the top contender or the second top contender for this week's Miss USA pagent. In the final round of interviews, Gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton asked Carrie Prejean whether or not same sex marriage should be made legal in the other 46 states.
Prejean's answer was a little muddled, but she basically made two points. She thought it was great that we live in a country where you can choose same sex marriage or not, and that her personal believe, based on her upbringing was that she felt it should remain between a man and a woman.
Perez Hilton went ballistic, sabotaging her chance in the finals, and he gave interviews afterward calling her a bitch and the C-word, saying it was the worst answer ever given in a pageant interview question ever.
He probably doesn't remember remember Teen Miss South Carolina's rambling befuddlement on the value or something of US education as an explanation why American Teens can't pick South Africa out on a world map.
My take on the Miss USA pageant this year was that the question should not have been there to begin with. It should not have been asked by a gay Californian who obviously felt betrayed by prop 8's passage last year. He obviously had an axe to grind and he came to the California contestant with it sharpened to a keen edge.
My take on it is that the government should get out of the business or regulating marriage and let it go back to being a religious thing. The government should realize that civil unions, whether by commitment ceremonies or church marriage ceremonies are going to open up certain legal avenues for all people and that is fine by me. Two men or two women who "marry" are not married from the concept of a spiritual legacy as told in all religious texts. Who cares if they call themselves married or not. It doesn't affect me or any other married person in the least.
What it does do is to further erode the foundational basis for our country. It is but one more step in our slouch to gomorrah.
