Miss California Stands Tough

You have to give credit to Miss California Carrie Prejean. She's standing tough against the politically correct crowd that have criticized her for standing up against gay marriage when questioned about it by a gay activist blogger during the Miss USA pageant:
Miss California Carrie Prejean says she prays for Miss USA judge blogger Perez Hilton.

On MSNBC's 9 AM hour Tuesday, the beauty contestant, who may have won had it none been for her answer to Hilton's question about gay marriage, also said she's sorry for him.

After Tamron Hall played a clip of Perez defending his remarks that Prejean is "a bitch" and "the c word," she asked Miss California what she thought of his attacks.

"I can only say to him that I will be praying for him. I feel sorry for him, I really do," Prejean said. "I think he's angry, I think he's hurt. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. He asked me specifically what my opinion was on that subject and I gave him an honest answer."

She also said she has been surprised at the support she has gotten since Sunday's Miss USA pageant and the lack of hate she has received.

It hasn't all been roses. Just looks at these pearls of wisdom from Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of Miss California USA/Teen USA:
"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."

Then why was the question asked in the first place? Gay marriage is a religious issue as well as a political one and having a gay activist on the judging panel was just asking for trouble.

Besides that, does anyone really believe that the promotion of gay marriage hasn't become a religion of its own among the left? They certainly act and react with religious fervor. Just look at what happened in California after Prop 8 passed (click on Proposition 8 in the labels below and you'll find lots of examples).

Kudos to Miss Prejean. She's not just a pretty face.
