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.
