Question from Perez Hilton to Miss California during the Miss USA Pageant:Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalise same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?
Answer from Miss California:
We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.
Response from Perez Hilton, on his video blog:
And when I asked Miss California her question, and she gave the worst answer in pageant history....Now, let me explain something to you. Miss California did not lose because she doesn't believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she's a dumb bitch. Okay? This is how a person with half a brain answers the question I posed to her....If that girl had won Miss USA - California - I would have gone up on stage - I shit you not - I would have gone up on stage, snatched that tiara off her head, and run out the door.
Editorial from Leonard Jacobs, Fox News:
Dear Miss California: I will not scream at you, castigate you for your stupidity or label you “ignorant” for what you said at the Miss USA Pageant. After all, you didn’t win; that’s punishment enough...No offense taken, Carrie. You have the right to your opinion. I don’t have to love it. Nazis have a right to march in Skokie. I don’t have to love them, either.
Twitter post from E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic:
...i [sic] know i'm [sic] a journalist, and i [sic] should be objective...but she is an ignorant discrace [sic] and she makes me sick to my stomach.
Think Fashion Celebrity News:
Unbelievable! What’s even more unbelievable is the fact that she still became runner-up after that pathetic answer. Do we really want someone so close-minded becoming a role model for our children? I don’t think so.
Tolerance.
