Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California's comments regarding gay marriage.
When asked by judge Perez Hilton, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. 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 offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised
Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, tells FOXNews.com 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," said Lewis in a statement. "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."
Co-director Shanna Moakler told FOXNews.com that she fully supported Lewis' statement.

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."
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!"

ROTGLMAO!!!!
See #32 for clarification.
Yup, you nailed it again wd.
How is it the old adage, "Birds of the feather flock together" w/could be so woefully ignored, disregarded. Unless doing do was deliberate, engineered?
Everyone was subject to & suspected of prejudicial behavior(s), providing they were Caucasian.
Except minorities, those peoples were above such behavior.
Nuts my friend, just nutz.
"disproportionately minority too while were on the subject"
HA!!
Yea as long as we're on the subject.
I'd recommend anyone in doubt pay a visit to a[ny] large metropolitan Post Office, government agency etc and come tell what they observed.
The irony is thick enough to cut with a dull knife.
Caucasians --of all brands-- once dominated the establishement institutions in America.
Bad, condemned, laws needed to "even the playing field".
And so it was.
Today?
These same places are overwhelmingly dominated by minorities of one flavor or another. How'd they get there? Why they were brought in by their *friends*.
Silence.
Question is now, wd, are we *fair* yet? :o)
Hey good to see you're still around, and, I pray in the best of health. ;^)
Wow...she could come out for gay marriage and I might support it...;-)
court adjourned
How in the Hell does a media whore/freak like Perez Hilton get to judge the Miss California contest? Was Rupaul busy?
For what it’s worth, Miss CA scored 3rd in swimsuit and 2nd in evening gown so she probably didn’t lose because of the question (as outrageous as it was). Miss NC was 1st in swimsuit, 1st in evening gown, and won the competition.
What are you talking about? I just bought the knock off version of this at Wal-Mart. Went over to the automotive section and got some shop rags--10 for $2. Of course this model is a little bit heavier than I am. ;)
Why do gay men get to crown a womens beauty pageant?
The Lavender Mafia is establishing a pinklist. "you'll never work in this town again..."
Actually I was wrong on a previous post, it was Miss NC that answered the Bail out question which got a huge response; it was Arizona who answered the health care question.
that is either photoshopped or some bad joke
? Don't know.
Perez hilton?, wtf?, someone explain why does some fruitcake, nutbar wack job like that, have an opinion that matters?. I mean, if you want to be a bizarro cross dressing freak, knock yourself out, I dont care, but stick to your own world., this one is screwed up enough at it is.
Bravo for having the guts to call a deviant a deviant. I guarantee the fecal-eaters will be unrelenting in their attacks on this poor girl who told the truth.
Judging by the video Perez Hilton posted this monring that I saw on the news does this mean tht Miss California USA has a lawsuit agaisnt the padgent for violating her right to practise religion and also her right to free speech? I’d love to see someone fight the gay mafia with the same tools they fought for years with.
>>These people are deranged.
That seems to be the only logical conclusion. No amount of reason or fact can persuade them that their legal fiction is an abomination of nature.
And the inmates are taking over the asylum.
>>Hey, they design womens clothing, dont they?
>>No wonder some of our fashions over the years have been degrading and something no one should ever wear.
Yep:
EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality.
NIXON: Huh?
EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality. And with its use on television, it has such leverage.
NIXON: You know what’s happened [in northern California]?
EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.
NIXON: But it’s not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time—it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can’t shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.
Decorators. They got to do something. But we don’t have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they’re trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.
EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.
NIXON: Jesus Christ.
Bread Pie and Circuses
The correct answer to the question was
“This is a divisive and inapropriate question. It sounds like a politicized personal attack against my faith and values.”
Never let leftists put you on the defensive. Always come out swinging by questioning their motives.
So proud of my homegirl, Miss California. They can stick their pageant. She would have won but for her honest, righteous answer to an asinine question. She was boo-ed and lil’ ol’ Billy Bush cringed.
Good for you, Carrie. You are a clean and wholesome hero in these sordid times.
