The question should not have been asked. But, the answer Miss California Carrie Prejean gave came from her heart, and was simply her speaking her mind freely.
Miss Prejean believes her answer may have cost her the crown. The question was on gay marriage, and was given by the hateful entertainment blogger Perez Hilton. Her answer sparked controversy, but she says she's proud she stayed true to her beliefs and wouldn't change the response. Her response was, "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other ... same sex marriage or opposite marriage. I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman ... that's how I was raised."
Prejean later commented on NBC's "Today" show, saying "I did not want to offend anybody, but I think with that question specifically, it's not about being politically correct, for me it was being Biblically correct."
America overwhelmingly agrees with her, but pop culture does not. But what does it matter if they agree with her or not?
Imagine if the question had been answered in the opposite manner, proclaiming full support for gay marriage. Then, imagine if the audience booed her as they did this time, and she felt her response cost her the crown. Can you imagine the outcry that would have followed? The audience would be dubbed "haters," and the liberal pundits would have been all over it.
In the world where Miss California defended the traditional definition of marriage, Perez Hilton has stated a candidate for Miss USA should offer more inclusive answers.
Apparently, to Hilton, one's right to speak one's mind clearly is only applicable if you agree with him, and the degrading popular culture.
