Miss California and runner-up of the 2009 Miss USA pageant, Carrie Prejean, has alienated millions of men and women this week when she answered this interview question with this remark:
Question (asked by openly gay Queen of Media mogule Perez Hilton):
“Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriages, do you think every state should follow suit – why or why not.”
Answer:
“Well I think it’s great that American’s are able to choose one or the other, umm we live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite-sex marriage and you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman – no offense to anybody out there but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think that it should be between a man and a woman.”
Unbelievable! What’s even more unbelievable is the fact that she still became runner-up after that pathetic answer.
Do we really want someone so close-minded becoming a role model for our children? I don’t think so.
I pray that the winner of last night’s competition – Miss North Carolina’s Kristen Dalton – doesn’t pull a Tara Connor and risk losing the crown!
