Way to go, Perez Hilton. Not only does he cause drama online, he knows how to do offline as well. I bet he just boosted Miss USA ratings by ten points. Why? He asked Miss California, Carrie Prejean, her opinion on gay marriage.
9 News Reports:
Gossip guru Hilton asked Ms Prejean: “Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalise same-sex marriage … do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?” She replied: “We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage.”
“And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. “No offence to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.” Some of the audience cheered while others booed.
Fair question, everyone is entitled to their opinion, unfortunately some people are still close minded. I think Perez took a unique forum to pose the question, and create controversy. Gay marriage should be legal in every state. Just my point of view.
I also believe that this union is between ONE MAN and ONE WOMEN. I think her answer was well phrased and should not have given this “GAY” dude the ammunition to use against her.
He should be the one on the hot seat, Oh wait, He would love that, keep his fanny warm for Bubba, Way to go Miss California, I like millions of others respect your opinion and views. Unlike this doe doe, who wants everyone to see things his way and if you don’t, you’re a stupid B—–ch according to this lame ducks words.
i am behind carrie prejean. if you don’t take sides and be objective about it…it doesn’t matter what your opinion on gay marriage is…perez hilton was very unethical asking that question. let miss universe be held in iran i don’t think perez will ask a question about terrorism…if you want to be gay then be gay…don’t force your issues on us…
I still believe Carrie Prejean should have won the Miss USA 2009, and not Kirsten Dalton.
Carrie was looking stunning in her swimsuit.
Good for you Carrie! Carrie said the same exact thing our President said when he was campaigning for Prez! Nobody calls him on it!
Perez Hilton is being a little cry baby! First of all, he is only a gossip blogger so his opinion NOW that the Miss USA pageant is over shouldn’t even count. I don’t even understand why they invited him to be a judge. He was very unprofessional by calling Carrie Prejean a b**** in his crappy blog. I don’t understand why all these gay people are SOOO hurt if Carrie assured “no offense to anyone”??
Seriously…as a California resident I cannot be any more proud of Carrie Prejean representing our state then I already am!! She is my new role model…she is also the proof that California is not just about fake people in Hollywood!
Carrie, if I were you I would retain an attorney and appeal the Miss USA decision. Politican questions like Perez Hilton asked you have no0 basis in a beauty contest. They are supposed to judge on your beauty and pose, not your personal opinion. Moreover, the jdges are not supposed to judge based n their ethics and morals. Additionally, would you please marry me?–Pete
To Carrie Prejean, I leaned from the internet and viewed your interview on the Today show. Your answer was the answer in which America was founded upon. Carrie, your answer was the answer that God ascribe for you, I and those that believes to follow. Your answer was an answer that has earned you a diamond in the crown in which God has prepared for you; for the night you were robbed because of your love for Thee. Your answer was an answer that was filled with intelligence. How proud I was of you for defending the sexual behavior that God compelled the Apostle Paul to write through the power of Jesus Christ for us to abide. I must say too that “you are a Hottie!!!
Now to you the product of Sodom and Gomorrah and the devil’s advocate. You were commanded that night by which you serve with filthy and defile desires and corrupted mentality. Thus, you waste of fiber; you could not stop the “Law” in which God has ascribed for your diseased existence to heed. You could not stop that Hot, Sexy, Fine, Intelligence, and God Fearing White Queen from telling your “Punk Ass” the truth and you and the others “Hated” upon this White Queen!!! I guarantee your pathetic existence this; that this White Queen became a Queen that night before the only Judge that will judge your “Punk Ass” on the Day of Judgment!!!
Good job Carrie! We all appreciate your bravery, and you are fantastic.
Pathetic is the only word for Perez Hilton and his question. Generic political questions are one thing. But to ask a question about one of the most incindiary issues of the day only begs to alienate half the audience. Why didn’t he just ask her about abortion?
What he did is completely unforgivable, made even more so by the softball question the other contestant received: “Do you think corrupt corporate fat cats should receive taxpayer money?” Uhhh, no. Wow!!! What an answer!
Also interesting to note that, in her bio, it shows that Miss California attended San Diego Christian College. I wonder if Hilton planned his question specifically BECAUSE she attended a Christian college. Nah….couldn’t be.
Yes – interesting how if an opinion is given on the side of righteousness it is “intolerant” and “close-minded” yet an opinion on the side of all things unnatural (note: there are no animals on earth that mate homosexually – so I guess Darwin was wrong, eh?) – and unrighteous – it is being “enlightened” and “open minded”… What’s next – let me marry my dog, my tree and whatever else I want.
And if I don’t have the right to judge – then you can’t judge me for stealing from you, raping, killing, etc… Because that is being closed minded too.
“A fool says in his heart, ‘there is no God’.” Makes you a fool.
I guess you’re not allowed to be a Christian if you want to be Miss USA. I hope she sues for the anti-Christian bigotry that cost her the win.
