A heated, multimedia gay-marriage discussion spanning YouTube, Twitter and "The Hills" ensued after a Miss USA contestant answered a question about the topic, sparking debates on cable news and even a tweet from Britney Spears.

On YouTube, contestant Carrie Prejean's answer was the most-viewed and most-discussed clip Tuesday, with more than one million views and 10,000 comments. On Twitter, the term "Miss California" was second only to "Susan Boyle" in frequency.

Ms. Prejean, who represented California and was named first runner up to Ms. USA winner Kristen Dalton, said that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman, an answer that visibly displeased judge and gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who fielded the question of whether gay marriage should be allowed in all states.

Mr. Hilton, who is gay, took to his blog and posted a video in which he says, "She gave the worst answer in pageant history. She lost because she's a dumb b—-, okay?"

He also said that if she won the pageant, he would've jumped on the stage and snatched the crown from her head. He later apologized for the name-calling but added, "We were/are just soooo angry, hurt, frustrated by her answer. Perez would love to take Miss California out for coffee and 'talk'!"

Mr. Hilton's outcry and subsequent interview on Larry King Live sparked a number of celebrity Twitter responses on the topic, most notably from Britney Spears, who tweeted: "Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy!" ("Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant," Perez responded on his blog.)

Heidi Montag, a star of the MTV reality show "The Hills," wrote in a string of multiple messages, "God says in the bible that we should love our neighbor and he created us all as equals. I know in my heart that gays and lesbians should have the same government rights that Spencer and I will when we get married. So, yes, this blonde Christian believes in gay marriage and I hope to one day go to YOUR wedding, Perez!!!"

But as for the non-blond, non-celebrity Twitterers, responses were varied — user fungirlkelly wrote: "I am very proud of Miss California for sticking to her values...this is still USA, land of the free...right?" But brittanygreene tweeted: "@perezhilton did a great job on Larry King. Just because you say "no offense" doesn't mean it's not offensive, Miss California."

Believe what you want. But if your hate is faith-based, listen up. According to the bible:

If your wife isn't a virgin when you marry her: kill her.

Got some out of hand kids? Stone them to death at the town hall. Or sell them into slavery for a good price.

Don't worry. The bible allows it.

Know a rape victim? Biblically speaking, the victim should be married to the rapist.

Do you shave? Get haircuts? Eat pork? Shrimp? Play football, or any sport with pigskin? Wear cotton/polyester blends? Gone

[SarahBeth921]

She didn't do anything wrong. She answered the question that was asked the way she believes. Its better than South Carolina about the US on maps...

@clubindiana4 constitution does not have to say anything about God, it itself acts as protector of our God given rights declared by USA and our founding fathers in declaration of independence which freed USA from Britain and set up Government who's foundation was on Bible based teachings, to protect those rights constitution was written, why do you think we had prayers in schools until 1960's? so you are arguing that milk is black, USA is without debate was Bible based nation.

[Rustaveli2k7]

@clubindiana4 well thank you for not fighting the obvious at least in this reply, you are right no one is born Christian, but again I never argued that was the case.

Constitution is a manual of our governing body, it is there to protect our "god given rights" what happened Trash public system did not teach you History of your own damn nation?? it's amazing how people live in this country and act like they are from another planet not knowing anything about their own country.

[LanzoEmilia]

there shouldnt be religion, buddhism is the way to go, religion is bullshit and fairytles made up thousands of years ago by people who had no knowledge of the world or its existence.

[ThatWeirdo04]

What I don't understand is why people were cheering for her.

[dilizblack]

well.... she is wrong. lol

[clubindiana4]

@Rustaveli2k7 Who cares what scripture says? We don't live in a Theocracy. The Constitution doesn't say shit about God....didn't you know?

"no one is born Gay."

So what? Moot point. Nobody is born christian either, are they? That delusion comes later.

[CrystalMatthews93]

i agree with the top comment. they shouldn't be mad, did they expect her to lie? I would have congratulated her on being honest, even though i don't agree with her personally. Perez needs to calm the hell down, the world isn't perfect, some people will not have the same opinions as others. It isn't even like she said something SUPER offensive like "gays should die". i don't agree with her statement but i am glad she said the truth

[Mickereeno]

she expressed her honest opinion and she is entitled to believe whatever she wants. atleast she had the balls to be honest. she because she doesnt support gay marriage doesnt mean shes an awful evil person, let her have her damn opinion just like you do.

[clubindiana4]

@Rustaveli2k7 "never support Homosexualism, Prostitution, Pedopliles, Drug addicts, those who practice bestiality"

Of course you do! Your own god is a pedophile who impregnated Mary at age 12! Wasn't Mary Magdalene a prostitute?

The founding fathers would also reject her hateful bigoted opinion.....just as Perez and the American public did!
