Homosexual Equality or Discrimination

Long ago the goal was equal treatment - in the work place, in the courts, in the family. That was what they hoped for, worked for, fought for. Today, standing up and opposing that view costs you - you lose competitions, you lose opportunity, you lose equality. You are not entitled to your own opinion. Mario Lavandeira (Perez Hilton) couldn't wait to call Miss California a 'dumb bitch' and offered on his website the answer SHE SHOULD have given. By the time he posted his response, he thought better of calling her a stupid bitch and apologized (even if that is how he felt and believed, he was apologizing for those who may have been offended ... or was he). It isn't tolerance. It is - accept this way or there is something wrong with you. That was the argument from the 1970s - be straight or there is something wrong with you. Now the gays are the discriminators and worse - they are forcing everyone else along with them on their crusade to discriminate against anyone who doesn't agree with their view on homosexuality.


She should file a lawsuit. Get Ronson to join in.



Perez Hilton: 'The Way Miss California Answered Her Question Lost Her The Crown'

Access Hollywood - April 20, 2009 1:09 PM PDT

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton may have been crowned Miss USA 2009 on Sunday, but on Monday, it was Miss California Carrie Prejean's answer to a question about same-sex marriage from celebrity blogger and pageant judge Perez Hilton that was the night's biggest story.

During the show, Perez asked Carrie, "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"

"Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. Um, we live in a land that you can choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and in, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," Carrie said to a mix of boos and applause. "No offense to anybody out there. But that's how I was raised and that's how I think that it should be between a man and a woman."


Carrie's answer to the hot button question cost her the crown - at least according to Perez.

"The way miss California answered her question lost her the crown, without a doubt!" Perez told Access Hollywood after the pageant. "Never before that I'm aware of has a contestant been booed at Miss USA."

Keith Lewis, Co-Executive Director of the Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA said in statement to Access Hollywood that he respects Carrie's opinion, even if it differs with his.
"I am proud of Carrie Prejean's beauty and placement at the 2009 Miss USA pageant. I support Carrie's right to express her personal beliefs even if they do not coincide with my own," Keith told Access. "I believe the subject of gay marriage deserves a great deal more conversation in order to heal the divide it has created."
