Miss California may have lost a pageant, but she's not sorry. She has won a cause.
Carrie Prejean's politically incorrect response to a question about same-sex marriage may have cost her the Miss USA crown, but apparently it's going to take more than a few insults from celebrity blogger Perez Hilton to change her mind.
"It's unfortunate that this happened, but it's become such a blessing," Miss Prejean said in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Washington Times. "I'm glad I didn't win that pageant, because I now have a cause, I now have a purpose and I'm going to pursue it."
Not only is Miss Prejean refusing to apologize, explain her answer or even stay out of the spotlight, but she's unabashedly promoting traditional marriage in post-pageant appearances, including later this week in Washington and in Lynchburg, Va.
In doing so, she's become an inspiration to conservative Christians, especially those in California, who are reluctant to speak out on behalf of traditional marriage in the face of shifting cultural mores, said Miles McPherson, her pastor at the San Diego-based Rock Church.
"Every week, we tell our congregation to do something bold, and here she did it on the biggest stage in the world," said Mr. McPherson, a former San Diego Chargers football player who founded the evangelical megachurch. "It's about standing up for faith in the face of persecution. A lot of people are intimidated about saying what they believe because it's not politically correct."
Last week in New York, he said, dozens of people went out of their way to thank Miss Prejean for taking her stance. "People left and right kept coming up to her, telling her how much they appreciated what she said," Mr. McPherson said. "It was overwhelming."

Pictures?
The rule should definitely apply to Miss California threads.
Amen Brother!
Amen Brother!
FNC reported that the Miss California organization is considering stripping her of her title. It would be interesting to see if this happens and would she then be able to file a civil lawsuit based upon religious discrimination.
Maybe since Congress passed the hate crimes legislation they charge her with a hate crime also.
Congress is a hate crime.

Great news. She will get more mileage out of this than being Miss USA. Glad to see it backfire on the retard that attacked her.
That must irritate the PC wing of the pageant. They deny Carrie Prejean the crown because she has values, and that gives her a whole lot more visibility than whomever they chose as winner. It looks like the end result of their stunt was not what they wanted. In fact, the next contestant in this situation is likely to have learned from Carrie Prejean, and she'll stand up for beliefs too. I'll bet they hate it when free speech survives a challenge.
Here’s her chrch’s website:
It has a few things about Carrie Perjean on it.
Just FYI.
How tall is she? Seriously. On the answer depends my response to her marriage proposal!
Next time I suspect they will ask the question before a contestant gets to the runner up phase. Like during the state competitions.
If they strip her of the crown, then that indicates that her “answer” was WRONG.
Do they often ask “true or false” questions of finalists?
