First, a homosexual activist “judge” kept Carrie Prejean from winning the Miss USA contest.
Next, the homosexual “marriage” activists who led the California pageant tried to get Carrie fired, but Donald Trump said no.
Finally, the homosexual activist director of the Miss California Pageant persisted and got rid of Carrie.
Keith Lewis, the director of the Miss California USA Pageant, is an open homosexual and obviously very insecure. After Carrie said on national TV on April 19 that marriage is only for a man and a woman, Lewis said he was personally offended. For weeks, he campaigned unprofessionally, publicly and continually attacking Carrie and aggressively lobbied Donald Trump to fire her.
Lewis’ anti-natural-marriage campaign showed its venom on May 11. That’s when Lewis and then-co-director Shanna Moakler (who strongly believes in homosexual “marriage” and was a Playboy centerfold) held a Beverly Hills news conference blasting Carrie for “unauthorized” speaking engagements at her church and at a traditional marriage news conference, as well as Carrie’s lingerie and swimsuit photos, and called for her to be fired.
The next day, May 12, pageant owner Donald Trump directed everyone to “make nice” and said Carrie would keep her crown. But what does oil have in common with water or light in common with dark? The 12-page contract Carrie signed is horrible and gave Keith Lewis so much power over her.
The day after the “unity event” in New York, Moakler and Lewis came back to California. That same day, Moakler resigned from her pageant post to protest Carrie keeping her crown. And Lewis began “keeping a file” on Carrie in an effort to eventually fire her himself.
That takes us to now.
There’s every indication that Lewis had daggers in his eyes for Carrie ever since she said she doesn’t believe in homosexual “marriage” like he does.
And there is evidence that Lewis tried to muzzle Carrie from speaking at events of her choosing. Email transcripts between Carrie and Lewis suggest he had a problem with her speaking at the Special Olympics, while, at the same time, suggesting she pose for Playboy and appear on grungy “reality TV” shows.
On Thursday, I listened to Carrie on the Sean Hannity radio show, who now has the help of pro-family attorney Chuck LiMandri, who’s issued a statement accusing Keith Lewis of fabricating his claims.
On the show, Carrie said Lewis wanted her to attend a documentary promoting gay “marriage” at the Sundance Film Festival and she refused. “If I’m in breach of contract because I didn’t go to a gay event, so be it,” she said.
As for the Playboy magazine offer, Carrie says this “shows their hidden agenda…they wanted me to break to the contract [prohibiting nude and semi-nude photos]…they wanted me out from day one….I have the email to prove it.”
“This is happening to me because of my stance on gay marriage,” Carrie said. “It’s not because of the contract…It’s really taught me how intolerant some people can be…It’s not right and it’s just plain wrong what’s happened to me.”
I agree. The big picture here is the blatant intolerance of the homosexual agenda, which PUNISHES anyone who disagrees with them.
If Carrie were my sister, I would have encouraged her to quit a few weeks ago. She had “appealed” the bad conduct of her boss Keith Lewis to a higher judge, Donald Trump, the owner of the pageant. But Lewis kept his job and kept targeting Carrie. Apparently, the animosity of a homosexual activist against those who disagree will never agree to peace.
Quitting would have put Carrie in the driver’s seat. She could have told America how she stood on principle about her public appearances and had to quit rather than give up her principles. Why agree to have your free speech controlled by a homosexual activist who hates you and targets you for your stand on marriage?
But look what’s happened. Keith Lewis and Carrie’s detractors aggressively rode the media circuit the first 24 hours of this story. While Carrie was hiding from the media that day and turning down interview requests, she was publicly labeled a contract-breaker. By not anticipating the firing and not doing media, Carrie was called the bad guy and the homosexual activists cheered. Twenty-two-year-old Carrie needs better public relations advisors!
To many, this is a case of “he said, she said.” America clearly witnessed and understood the first intolerant homosexual attack from Perez Hilton upon Carrie during the Miss USA Pageant. But now that another homosexual activist, Pageant Director Keith Lewis, has attacked Carrie on a technicality, which involves details about public appearances that are cloudy or at least unclear. America can’t correctly judge this.
Through it all, Carrie has been given an incredible platform and opportunity to speak for God’s truth. My hope is that Carrie will seek God’s biblical wisdom for her next step. Personally, I would like to see her reject fleshy beauty pageants and the lusty photos she’s posed in, which, so far, she’s defended. It would be helpful to America for her to write a book that honors what God created – the natural family and moral standards for sexuality – and championing the American ethic of free speech.
But most of all, I hope Carrie will take some time to grow deeper in her faith and in everything seek to be a holy example for girls and young women. I don’t want teen girls to dream about strutting on stage for a beauty contest or taking risqué photos or getting breast implants like Carrie did. God created women to be much better than that.
Get a healthy perspective on the topic of outer beauty versus inner beauty. Listen to the SaveAmerica.com Radio Show with former model Jennifer Strickland. This is a very stimulating discussion to help women develop a true identity and give up their false identities. (Men, you need to hear this too, to understand the women and girls in your family.)
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 NIV
I suspected they tried to force her into endorsing gay events. That appears to be true. She ought to sue.
Donald Trump is a weasel.
Carrie was on FAF this morning and said Lewis wanted her to attend the opening of a homosexual film incognito, then publicly announce she had been to the premier the day after. She didn’t do it and clearly found publicity stunts like that pretty distasteful.
Between that and being pressured to pose for Playboy, I have no doubt that the pageant was intentionally trying to force her to do things they knew she wouldn’t do, thus giving them a reason to fire her for breach of contract. What, did they think she was their indentured slave slut?
Screw you Miss America Pageant, and screw you, Mr. Lewis. Miss Prejean has more class in her big toe than you could ever dream of.
Carrie is going places, without or without the pageant, and it drives the left bananas.
Stick to your principles, Carrie. We have your back.
I'm sorry about what has happened to Carrie, and if Trump has one whit of common sense, he'll get rid of all the homos running the Miss America "show". I don't expect that to happen, however. Trump doesn't have the cajones.
It’s Miss USA not Miss America.
Homosexual militants being in control of a female contestant beauty pagent??? No one should be surprised with this outcome! After an early feeble show of support... Donald Trump has now been shown to be a coward!
Poor Carrie was doomed from the start! One must conclude fascism is OK under the “correct” circumstances. As to the reference in the article: “Twenty-two-year-old Carrie needs better public relations advisors!” I would conclude (just a hunch) these “advisors” delibertly gave bad advice to advance her firing (good uncorrupt help is SO hard to find these days!). Go Carrie! With every trial there is an opportunity! God Bless!!!
She excuses Donald Trump; but in truth; the buck stopped with him. Pathetic testimony. Can only surmise the this pageants biggest following is a ‘gay’ one.
This disgusts me! Not a single person on this thread is following the rules.
On the other hand, travesties like this can put a national spotlight on the inequitable behavior of the left, assuming the ignorant masses pay attention of course…
The pageant is a dead duck. We need to bombard the sponsors the same as what is happening to Letterman. Choke the Donalds email also.
Anyone have the donalds contact info?
Someone needs to start a new Miss America contest for straights only, like it or lump it, if they still want to have those things. I thought more of the Donald, but I guess he is a weasel.
Whatever. May as well be “Miss USSA”.

WHAT a BEAUTY!!
What does one expect from a female beauty pageant run by fags?
