Carrie Prejean vs Perez Hilton

Miss USA pageant held this past weekend.

I guess that you now have to support gay marriages in order to win beauty contests. Judge Perez Hilton proceeded to inquire about her views on same-sex marriage. He blasted runner-up MISS USA contestant (Carrie Prejean) for her response. She answered that it was "great" that the option is available in some states, but that "in my country and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman -- no offense to anyone out there."

According to Shanna Moakler "she lost the crown because she wasn't able to convey compassion for ALL the people that as MISS USA she would be representing. and if YOU like it or not, gays and lesbians make up this country as well. THIS is why we have judges so they can find the RIGHT woman who obtains these qualities. I think that the judge who posed the question to her wanted to put her on the spot and not have her win.

Miss California answered the question and the way I look at it this it was a 'no win' situation and the question should not have been asked. If she said that she supported gay marriages, then she would have been desecrated by many more for those beliefs. You put her on a spot. And now, Hilton is capitalizing on this by making a big deal over this issue in interviews and on his blog.

I consider my marriage to be sacred. You have to refer to these bonds between gay men or women as something other than 'marriage.' Sorry. I really do not have any hatred or anything toward gays and I think that most of them are quite nice. I don't care what they do, just don't call it marriage, please. Show me that respect. You know, whatever side you take on this issue, it controversial.
