“Enemy-occupied territory, that is what this world is.” -C. S. Lewis
I know that there are way too many blogs writing about this, but I have to point out that Ms. Prejean even said “no offense to anyone…” Would a gay rights activist be polite enough to say “no offense..?” I respect her for standing up for her beliefs. Heck, she probably would’ve won with a more politically correct answer. See, I don’t care about the laws. Do I think abortion is murder? Probably. Do I think any homosexual act is immoral? Definitely, yes. Did I commit a form of lust today? Yes. Therefore, does the U.S. need to make lustful thoughts against the law and punishable by death? No, because then there would be no men left on earth to run for Senate or preach Hell, fire & brimstone sermons from the pulpit. Seriously, if we disagree with someones decision or lifestyle, then we should pray for them and let God do the judging. Let’s debate/fight for OUR rights, not someone elses. Oh, and by the way, it’s called free speech, Mr. Hilton. Look it up! It was our first right in this country and the reason you can cuss her out on the internet.

Hey Jody,
I agree with you and commend Miss California’s haste decision to state her own opinion. While I am upset at that opinion (as evident from my own response in the heat of the moment), I commend her for her courage in professing what she believes in the face of adversity.
While I may still think she’s a dumb bitch (or at least not the most articulate) and desire to expose her to more than what she was raised to believe, it is her right, her prerogative, and her decision to answer questions posed to her as she sees fit.
Still, the judges deemed that she was not Miss America material. If it was definitely caused by the content of the answer to this question or the quality of the answer to this question, so be it. After all, she was playing a game and she lost. It’s not as though she lost the competition because she was a lesbian. She lost because she chose to believe that sacramental marriage (religious marriage) and civil marriage are the same thing, and that homosexual couples are not deserving of rights and privileges under the law.
