The representaion of California, Ms Carrie Prejean was on her way to win the Miss USA crown, when she was asked this question, by well-known gay, Perez Hilton :
"Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"
She replied:
"Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman."
I applaud her reply. In the aftermath of Proposition 8 in California, she stood up, made her reply sraight and to the point, and stuck to her beliefs.
Let me get this straight-- I don't agree with her reply, yet I admire her willingness to be true to herself and not come up with some politically correct answer.
I am very disapppointed that some people criticised her view to be honest, and failed to realised where she was coming from.
