Miss USA California on the Today Show on Gay Rights -{HD}- 2009

[themarcellocosta]

homophobic bitch, she should revalue her standards that, instead of fighting against homosexuality, she should raise founds little kids in Africa Dying.

[Wheelie9341]

She is my hero, finally someone with the courage to speak the truth about

perversion. It is self evident man was created to be with a woman not a

man. No amount of homoganda will ever change that.

[LouisianaCityboi]

Ignorant bitch! You want to make God proud? Stop judging others and just show love and understanding to your fellow man, that's what Christianity should be.

[Moses7b]

@LouisianaCityboi what the??? where was she judging PEOPLE? she has her opions about the act of homosexuality, she was not passing judgement on people. What a silly statement. Stop confusing her biblical standpoint on the act of homosexuality with how she feels about the people. I can say I'm against polygamy, i'm not judging the people, i'm judgine the act from what i belive the bible says. Its so frustrating that anyone against homosexual marriage is branded judgemental.

[Jxworldwidemusic]

You didn't win did you?

I hope one day the civil rights of the GLBTI community are acknowledged.

[alltelman5]

Why do gays want to marry in the first place? It not really a serious issue, com' on people. Im do not understand being gay at all and I never will.

[akrifasouth]

@alltelman5 Try buying a house that requires two salaries in order to qualify for a house loan - banks don't recognise gay couples. Don't talk about the lives and struggles of a group of people you know nothing about.

[alltelman5]

@akrifasouth  Ok, well your point is well taken, so in that case, i do get what your saying.

[multitalentino]

@prayforthegaycure Carrie ACTIVELY worked to defeat GAY MARRIAGE rights already in existence.

Carrie DISCRIMINATED against gays and lesbians. Carrie took the RIGHT to marriage from her own lesbian sister, mother and father. Carrie worked hard to HURT gays.

How is that NOT bigoted?

Would it have been OK if Carrie had ACTIVELY worked to keep segregation alive back in the 60s, when the nation was still divided about EQUALITY for "non-whites" who had been mistreated and hurt by unfair laws?

[nicexy2212]

Her answer wasn't the best but I think she shouldn't have been judged like that by Perez Hilton... If he wasn't agree with her, he should have said it with respect but what he did just show that he's inmature and he's a closed mind person.

I'm not against gay marriage but I think that ther are better ways to ask for the rights...

[zerogullibility]

Marriage has nothing to do with religion, it's a contract between 2 consenting adults which gives the couple legal rights and recognition under the laws of the land.

A wedding ceremony can be religious, but even such a ceremony can be conducted without any religious overtones. To claim gay marriage equality would upset religious order is as ridiculous as claiming that gay marriage equality would lead to people demanding marriage to animals, polygamous unions, etc.

Equality is coming. So what?

[mdmusil]

@imax1971 Being heterosexual isn't normal, just common.

What is your aim anyway? You know that nobody ever turns gay or straight. You are what you are, and no "public opinion" will change that. Can you live with facts, or are fantasies a necessary part of your life?

Nobody wants you to be what you're not. Are you insisting OTHERS change to please YOU?

Stop the bullying. Your anti-gay feelings are your problem. Live with it.

Equality isn't asking your permission, it will come without you!

[skeyefeye]

That guy wants to bone her.

[OhMaDayzz]

Thank goodness Carrie Prejean spoke the truth.

[wetdream09]

@XOhSoAlyson

that's how republicans are my dear, They're way or the Highway.

That's why they all just wanted to eat her up, every word was precious.

[wetdream09]

@Syrinx69

and she would have gotten as much publicity too, in a more positive light and be an actual role model..

but the truth is, she's not a role model. shes a hypocrite, liar and a slut.

[kaziev100]

let there arise out of you a band of pepole inviting to all that is good enjoining what is right

and forbiding what is wrong, they are the ones to attain felisity.-HOLY QURAN.-3:104. GOD does not care how you look but what is in your hart.You ting you lost, I dont ting so. Weed the truth you always a winner AND DONT BE SCARED......

[l9ois]

perez hilton was being hypocritical

[stopdreamingkid]

"For me, it wasn't about being politically correct...it was about being biblically correct."

So, Carrie, what's the bible say about masturbating on camera? ;)

[bacabu30]

Full hay marriage, civil marriage, should be legal in all civilised countries.

[bacabu30]

Is she calling California a 'country'? It's not; it's a state only.

[Fl4dd3rm0uz]

in no offense to anybody...: you're dumb, you mentally ugly ! HOW can this be not offensive ... just putting a "no offense to anybody" in front of it does not make it not offensive. But if she lost the title over it, she's served. As Miss America it's not your job to present your own opinion - you are supposed to represent your country. I'm just glad that what you say as a miss america candidate actually matters - sometimes even more than your looks.

[l9ois]

@Fl4dd3rm0uz

not everyone in this country agrees with gay marriage

she was being honest

she shouldnt be looked down apon just because she didn't give the answer people want to hear

[Fl4dd3rm0uz]

@l9ois riiiiight. 

[XOhSoAlyson]

"Stick up for your beliefs and never compromise" is the WORST advice you can tell any person. Democrat OR Republican. Everyone needs to work together and compromise.

[GRADUADOS88]

He shouldn't have asked the question, if he didn't want to hear the answer. I am 100% behind her. She stayed true to who she is. Obama also believes marriage should be between a man and a woman and I don't see people speaking out against him so rudely and disrepectfully. Good for her...now that is one strong woman.

[Splendora93]

i love her response and i'm glad she stood up for her beliefs and didnt faulter to try and please people "hint, hint" and i'm praying for Pereze to come to his senses and relize God did not make him to be the way he is! ~Sonora!

[Zyce14]

I totally agree im glad she said that, and

sprocket003 i agree with you too that was an unfair question, but at the same time im glad she stood up for christian beliefs because thats what our country was founded on and thats how it got this far. : )

[Syrinx69]

"im glad she stood up for christian beliefs because thats what our country was founded on and thats how it got this far."

Uhm, no. This country was not founded on Christianity. It has progressed IN SPITE OF and IN CONSTANT BATTLE with Christian beliefs. Christian beliefs gave us slavery, oppression of women, the KKK and racist jim crow laws.

Liberals have been correcting the wrongs of the conservative religious right all the way back to the (liberal Deist) Founding Fathers.

Get a clue

[socialmoo]

@Zyce14 Our country, in fact, does not operate on the pure basis of Christian beliefs. It operates on the separation of Church and State.

[whatupz123]

Damn, your almost as ignorant as this girl huh?

[socialmoo]

@Splendora93 You do realize that the word 'is' (here employed in your sentence, "God did not make him to be the way he is") inherently means a natural state of being. A state of being may be shrouded by behavior, but at its core it cannot be altered. Sexuality is no choice, nor is it a contrivance. I hope that you and others who have the same flaws in their conceptions of facts can educate themselves a little bit better.

[Splendora93]

@socialmoo i do not educate myself the world's standards and "facts" about life issues, i rely on God's TRUE word the Bible. Read and see the truth.

[sprocket003]

"That's the way you explain it to yourself?"? Matt Lauer was a bit eh, too. A beauty pageant should not be judged on a personal opinion like that. She should be recognized for her honesty.

[brianandgwen7]

OK, The Question was the following, "Vermont was recently the 4th state to legalize gay marriage,Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or Why Not?"............. She has to say if she thinks that they should legalize it... Not if she thinks that it should be between a man and a women or a man and a man or a women or a women...... That's why she didn't win........... not because of her opinion.. and yes Miss.USA is suppose to unite the country not divide it... Best wishes To Kristin.

[Syrinx69]

Exactly. Her answer should have been along the lines of:

"While my personal religious beliefs are against same sex marriage, I must accept that in a free and modern country based on secular laws and principles, we need to protect equal rights for all of our citizens. Therefore, I believe that all 50 states should certainlyy follow suite and legalize same sex marriage. If the USA wishes to remain an example to the world in the 21st century, we need to look to the future instead of the past."

[ttiiyy]

@Syrinx69 In your life, there will be at least one time that you will be criticized for not agreeing with one social issue. Dont' be so harsh on others. That day will come to you especially when you're a lot older. You don't be lectured on how to express your belief.

[ttiiyy]

@Syrinx69 You don't want to be lectured on how to express your belief.

[CLColegrove]

Yes! Her words at the end there are so inspiring. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We are supposed to have freedom of religion, speech, and conscience, and no one should be discriminated against on that basis. She was not discriminating at all in her answer, but stating her thoughts and beliefs. I wish the mainstream news would show Hilton's ranting clip he made on his blog where he called her obscene names, to show his discrimination in full force.

[hopiatukka]

Truly smart lady, proud of her.

[stanbalo]

She is not homophobic in my opinion. The pageant is filled with homosexuals and if ever she is one, i'm sure she did not go far and win titles.

[vgymnast01]

U GO GIRL!! perez is disqusting. i always saw him working his fat buttie off at the gym at our apt complex. he's probably just hating on ms Ca bc she's Gorgeouuuus and he's unfortunately gay. She's already gotten way more attention then the new miss usa so honesty obviously pays off!!!

[bubblesnuggles]

SHE voiced her opinion basically. I'm so proud of her. Perez Hilton needs to put a sock it it.

[WJS4444]

Thank God for people like Carrie who stand up for their beliefs.

Perez Hilton is a classless clown with his comments.

[sexytrannie]

perez is a hero! miss california is a worthless bitch! im so glad the whore lost!

[xXxPKw00txXx]

God tested you? How can anyone honestly beleive that. Read up on the metaphyscial theodicy, if God's hand is so instrumentla in our lives then he is not only the cause of everything good and holy but also evil. Ut oh!

[ktot13]

Love this woman!

[midnite12387]

Sure she's entitled to her opinion. However, she is everything that is wrong with conservative Christians. Not everyone believes in God. Seriously, do we really want someone representing our country who openly alienates certain citizens? She is the epitome of everything that is wrong with close-minded Americans. And just cuz you say you don't mean to be offensive, doesn't mean you aren't. I'm from CT and yes, we have gay marriage, and no, we have not imploded because of it.

[reflexrules]

She's an intolerant homophobe. She can state her beliefs but I wouldn't vote for her if I were a judge based on her lack of tolerance. She clearly doesn't support the civil rights of all americans.

[neffie82]

reflex,What does lack of tolerence have to do with winning Miss USA?! Are you saying that Miss USA should be tolerant of everything? What if the question had been about pedophiliacs, should she be "tolerant" of them too? Oh, and btw, in the US, civil rights are usually thought of in terms of the specific rights guaranteed in the Constitution: freedom of religion, speech, the press, and rights to due process of law and equal protection under the law...look it up before you type!

[oroenpaz]

It was a stupid question. Perez has since stated that she should have answered the ? talking about states' rights rather than address the gay marriage issue. He is a buffoon. She gave a decent answer and the stupid pageant punished her for not being for homos. A pox on the pageant and Donald Trump. A pox on Perez, he is the bitch.

[shocktreatmenthead]

I'm glad she spoke her mind on gay marriage.Good for you girl.

[xXxPKw00txXx]

Ho anthropomorphic can you get, superimposing what you see as moral or immoral, into God's will?

So many blind believers are too ignorant to even understand what they preach.

Congrats your a god-awful theologian.

Its not an issue of Judea-Christian principels being the dictum for government law. The seperation of Church and state is the foundation of country, this is a civil liberties issue.

Can I remind you that Christians fought hard for the ban on blacks and whites.

[kickitup29]

Actually, the Seperation of Church and State was not one of the beliefs our country was built on. It was merely said in a speech by Thomas Jefferson years later. In Fact, George Washington believed, and stated in his farewell address that he believed religion is necessary for the success of this country.

[socialmoo]

@kickitup29 Congrats on getting your historical facts straight, but I don't think it matters what our country was built on. We should be paying attention to what has WORKED for this country. The U.S. was never an automatic success from the beginning, so it makes no sense to maintain its exact initial structure. We've learned from our successes and mistakes. We know now from previous conflicts that distillation of church and state is very important. Now we need to use what we've learned.

[oisdjgisjeo]

perez is a homo peice of scum

[94metfan]

perez is such an asshole.

[Godlovesyou234]

Enjoy!
