| Gay marriage row at Miss USA show
The runner-up at the Miss USA beauty pageant says her outspoken opposition to gay marriage cost her first place in the competition.
During the televised event, Carrie Prejean - Miss California - said she believed that "a marriage should be between a man and a woman".
She had been asked for her views on the subject by one of the judges, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
"It did cost me my crown," said Ms Prejean, after the competition.
The eventual winner of the pageant was Kristen Dalton, Miss North Carolina.
'Alienated'
"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," said Ms Prejean, in a section of the show that has become a popular clip on YouTube.
"I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," she continued.
"No offence to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
The remarks drew a mixture of booing and applause from the audience.
Speaking after the show, which was broadcast on Sunday evening in the US, Ms Prejean said: "I wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that's all I can do."
Hilton said he had been "floored" by Ms Prejean's answer, which, he said, "alienated millions of gay and lesbian Americans, their families and their supporters".
He told ABC News: "She lost it because of that question. She was definitely the front-runner before that."
Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, released a statement condemning Ms Prejean's comments.
"As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman."
The issue of same-sex marriage is a flashpoint in American politics.
Four US states now allow gay marriage, but many other states have passed legislation outlawing it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8009359.stm www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYV1aBDH7cA |

Let fags be just as miserable as everyone else?
If Britney can marry Kevin F and bastardize "Until death do us part" along with reality TV such as The Newlyweds, who's keeping track? Traditional marriage is already raped, throat cut, and left in a ditch by a truck stop.
More gays = better, because:
1. Less competition for pussy
2. Better haircuts
3. Cheaper interior design

what a plug, putting up miss california up there and indirectly forcing her to say that gay marriage is ok when it evidently isn't, and if she said it isn't ok it'd cost her the crown.
well even though it did cost her the crown, i'm proud of her and she should have no regrets for standing up to her own principles and morals.
just throw all the queers in a state, keep'em away from us.

Those who are secure in their sexuality have nothing to fear from gay people.
Gays are people too, they just love the cock instead of the pussy. Doesn't mean they are bad people. You don't need to be friends with them, nor do you have to respect them. However, I think it is right, under the law, to grant them equal rights.
Equal rights for all = good

she believes in opposite marriage?
anyway, marriage is not something that only ~Christians~ practice so I don't see why they think they have the say in it at all. IMO, marriage is universal and certain groups add religion to the celebration.

just because you dislike gay people doesn't automatically make you a homophobe or insecure about your own sexuality
the values of society have changed to see gay people just like any other person, what if in some parts of the world being a pedo is not outside of the social norm, does that mean I should feel comfortable when pedos are around my children? because well... they're just like you and me, except they're attracted to the younger crowd

i see folks steailng and doing/selling drugs all the time. that hurts your precious society far more every day then some fags banging other fags. i don't see you protesting or doing anything out there to protect your precious children.
and comparing gay folks that make you uncomfortable to pedophiles? that's a perfectly logical comparison any adult would make. nothing about that statement stinks of ignorance or fear.

If you might not like the answer, don't ask the question.

Anyways let me break this down to you
Gay marriage is between two CONSENTING adults.
Pedophilia is about manipulating young children. What child do you know can make adult decisions?

one of my best friends is gay and doesnt fit that stereotype, along with a lot of other gay ppl I know that I don't have a problem with; all of whom I respect just as much if not more than my other friends
so no, it doesn't
there are other reasons for not liking a gay person aside from feeling insecure about ones sexuality
