I may be wrong or forgotten who voted for the defense of marriage legislation but I think there were lots of democrats and some liberals who voted for it. I also seem to remember that Obama was against gay marriage during his run for president. Strange that so many are quick to attack anyone for having a view that differs from theirs EXCEPT when it involves one of their political favorites. Strange.
Had to be. And you could say the same for the Miss USA crowd.
When the question was read, there was a smattering of light applause and a few cheers -- suggesting that there were at least a few people in the audience who supported gay marriage.
In contrast, when Miss California finished her answer, the auditorium roared with approval.
It seems safe to say that pagaent audiences are not solely composed of redneck right-wingers. So, there had to be at least a few Democrats and liberals in on the cheering.
