Miss California Carrie Prejean Versus Perez Hilton
At the Miss USA pageant on Sunday Miss California Carrie Prejean was called a b!tch by Perez Hilton after she answered his question about gay marriage honestly, and based on HER beliefs. Intolerant of people who don’t agree with him Perez got so angry he made a video calling Prejean the b word, and said he would have gone up on stage if she won, and snatched her crown off her head, then he would have run out the door. Well, a gay activist that was in the audience actually got into a fight with Miss New Mexico’s mother in the hallway after the show. Lately, gays who aren’t getting their way are showing no class, and resorting to breaking the law to get their way, which isn’t unusual.
HG completely respects Prejean for saying what SHE believes. No one should try to blackmail anyone into saying a scripted answer with the threat of losing the pageant, but that’s what happened. We support freedom of speech 100%. We support Prejean, not gay fascists like Hilton.
The controversy today is that Miss California, who was the front runner going into the Miss USA pageant, became the first runner up, losing to Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton, all because her beliefs were not consistent with the gays who organized the pageant.
Here’s what was said:
Hilton: "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"
Prejean: "I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
Hilton video blogged in part: "She gave the worst answer in pageant history. She got booed. I think that was the first time in Miss USA EVER that a contestant has been booed … She lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she’s a dumb b!tch."
Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, said that he was "saddened" by Prejean’s statement:
"As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit. I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family."
Prejean said she is happy with the answer she gave, and she should be. Prejean’s beliefs should be respected, even by those that disagree with them.
Miss California’s answer sparked a shouting match in the lobby after the show. "It’s ugly," said Scott Ihrig, a gay man, who attended the pageant with his partner. "I think it’s ridiculous that she got first runner-up. That is not the value of 95 percent of the people in this audience. Look around this audience and tell me how many gay men there are."
How does Ihrig know what 95% of the people thought in the audience, did he take a poll, or is it impossible for him to see past his own narrow minded views? We think the latter.
Charmaine Koonce, the mother of Miss New Mexico USA Bianca Matamoros-Koonce, argued back:
"In the Bible it says marriage is between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"
That’s a fact. The bible can’t be rewritten. We still respect differing opinions, even Ihrig’s, when he’s not shouting in a person’s face who disagrees with him. We prefer civil debate.
Prejean showed incredible class, and we are so happy to see someone stand for what they believe in, even when others try to intimidate them to change their view. The gays attacking Prejean and Miss New Mexico’s mother are thugs and gay fascists.
The majority of California voters support Prejean, which is why Proposition 8 passed defining marriage as between a man and a woman, not a bat and a pig, or other combinations.

“In the Bible it says marriage is between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!”
Adam and Eve brought original sin and death to humanity by breaking God’s commandments, Adam and Steve didn’t. Adam and Eve never were married. And it was Eve who was responsible for the mess.
So, instead of emulating Adam and Eve, maybe Adam and Steve are a better choice.
To All Of The Haters Of Ms. California:
1) Miss Calif. answered a question that asked for HER personal opinion – So Honesty In Answering A Tough Question Now Means Nothing?
2) Miss Calif. answered a tough question in a measured thoughtful manner trying not to offend anyone. She had the presence of mind to know that public opinions over gay marriage, like abortion, religion, gun control, and (sadly) free speech, are all subjects that raise great passion in some people – So Care & Consideration Of Others Now Means Nothing When Answering Tough Questions?
3) Ms. Calif. did not make an issue over her personal opinions and beliefs until an ignorant internet buffoon choose to call her out in a rude and vulgar manner – So Standing Up For Yourself & Your Beliefs In A Professional Manner Is Now Forbidden?
4) Miss Calif. was already known as a model when she first entered Miss Calif. & later Miss USA. Pictures Similar To Those Seen in Cosmo, Vanity Fair and Countless Other Major Print Media Publications. It was already know Miss Calif. had “enhancement” work done prior to being a contestant in Miss USA. Just Like Scores Of Women Doing The Same On Extreme Makeover and De. 90210. So A Bunch Of Moderately “Sexy” Pictures & Scathing Ad Homonym Attacks Is The Best That Any Of You, P.Z., B.M., or K.O. Can Offer To Bolster Your Arguments & Denigrate Hers?
It’s sad & pathetic to see that when people have no argument the best they can do is demonize those with whom they disagree! How easy and intolerant of all of you to dismiss people who don’t think or believe the way you do – It allows all of you to remain ignorant and unable to articulate an argument that might otherwise be able to change another persons mind….
That was the worst blog in American history. This man doesnt belong as a judge; He has no class and doesnt know our constitutional rights. Its a shame because he sound so uneducated. He’s the emotional b!tch.
Perez wish he was a woman. Leave that Girl alone!!! Just because she is normal, remember queers, you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your poor mom and dad!!!
why not?? why can’t we have a gay miss usa?
What is next?
should we have gay contestant in Miss USA ?
and after that
Should we teach our children gay lifestyle?
since when defending man and woman marriage is wrong?
gay guys pls ask your parents, if they were gay before.. you would not be exist.
Just because it says that marriage is between a man and woman that doesnt mean its right. There are people who don’t believe in the Bible. I dont understand why we cant all accept everyone for who they are. We came a long way from when we discriminated against different races and now we see a black man as President and we see women of different races running for Miss USA. Does this not show us how much we can change as a nation? Can we not take that one extra step and accept everyone? Including gays? For years I have tried so hard to understand why anyone would be against gay marriage. To me I don’t see anything wrong with it. It may not be how everyone sees marriage to be but that doesn’t make it wrong. I think its horrible and discusting that we can’t just come together and accept and be happy.
First of all, I would just like to thank miss California for her honest answer that takes guts! Secondly I would like to point out that if He didnt like the answer He shouldnt have asked the question thats a very controversial subject. He should have known the answer could have gone either way. And last i find it so refreshing that she said exactly what she thought she did’nt try to sugar coat it. ThankS miss California.
