Ah yes, “beauty” pageants. I guess your soul has to be beautiful too, to win, and her was not.
Prejean, 22, made headlines worldwide when she said she believed only men and women should be allowed to wed in reply to a question by a gay celebrity blogger and pageant judge. She subsequently was named first runner-up. In the weeks that followed, she claimed the answer cost her the Miss USA crown.
So what if the answer DID cost her the Miss USA crown (for the record, it didn’t)? She was competing. When you compete, you are in a competition with others. If others do better and you do worse, you lose. Giving a horrible answer to a civil rights question, when others give better answers, will lose you a contest upon which that question and answer weighs.
It’s great that you have been and continue to be sticking to your guns, Ms. Prejean. It is your opinion and you have every right to it. You also had every right to lose that contest because of it.
If you tripped in the swimsuit contest, would you be suing over gravity?
Tell me, Ms. Prejean, what would you say to the question of whether or not marriage between a black man and white woman should be legalized? Because not all that long ago, that was the question. And it was illegal for a black man and white woman to marry. California was the first state to legalize that particular union.
Why is the ability to make a baby, not love, the deciding factor in a marriage? Should all the couples that are infertile divorce, because they can’t have a ‘real’ family, being defined as a man married to a woman producing offspring?
You were never and will never be my Miss California, Ms. Prejean, even if you do somehow miraculously win your frivolous lawsuit and get reinstated as Miss California. Should that come to pass I will not hesitate to make t-shirts emblazoned with your name, subtitled “Miss Hate” and “Couldn’t win Miss California, Won Miss Litigate.”
