I am not sure I would give that much credit for the turn around in public opinion to Carrie Prejean, but I give her lots of credit for taking a stand on the issue in front of a hostile crowd of judges. She had to know nearly all the judges would be huge pro-gay marriage supporters.
When a gay marriage proposition was defeated in Oregon of all places I knew it was not going to be a shoe in and these folks had a tough fight they probably can not win (THANK God)!
“I’m not sure I would give that much credit...”
I agree, although I admire her stand. I think there is no question that our society has become more tolerant of homosexuality, although I think the Gay Rights movement has overplayed their hand. There are a lot of “live and let live” folks out there, and when the argument was that 2 consenting adults shouldn’t be arrested, or people shouldn’t be persecuted for being gay, people went along with it. Now, as they demand the right to marry, and their public behavior grows ever more outlandish, the “live and let live” crowd is saying enough.-—JM
