According to news sources worldwide, Carrie Prejean, the runner up in the Miss America pageant and reigning Miss California, lost her shot at the title due to her “one man, one woman” stance on marriage, the reports state. According to the BBC,
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.
I wonder if Perez Hilton, the very out and about gossip Queen, had anything to do with this?
I just read that Miss NC won because she won the swimsuit and evening gown competition, not because of Miss CA answer.
MMmkay, so I totally hope that Mizz California gets blessed with a beautiful gay child. 🙂
