Honesty VS Likeability and world peace!

Rumor has it that Ms. California has lost the Miss USA title to Ms. North Carolina for one very controversial reason.

Carrie Prejean failed the expectations of the judges, particularly the openly-gay celebrity blogger judge Perez Hilton who personally threw her the question about her opinion on the legalization of gay marriage in California.

21-year old said:

“I think it’s great Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, 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 there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be, between a man and a woman.”

I could not imagine how Perez’ blood pressure suddenly surged after hearing this lest the gay people in that same area or in the homes watching this pageant supported mainly by gay people. Imagine you are a beauty contest hopeful and your entourage (your hair stylist, makeup artist and assistant) is full gay force and you dish them in their face!

First off, duh, since when did California become a country? Or she foresees that she’s gonna be thrown to another country about this “unsolicited opinion”

On the lighter note, she finished the answer with “No offense” but I think many have taken already since she was booed and she has lost the title. But then again, the judges denied that the answer has lost her the crown.

At the end of the day, Ms. California could have set aside the morality issue and focused on the civil rights issue to gain the elusive “world peace”

It is like a job interview, you are there to say what the judges or the interviewer would want to hear. They do not give a damn about your opinion seriously. So I would say, always finish off your sentence with world peace!

One good thing about this young lady is that she stands by her answer (and belief I guess). During her post pageant interview on Today show, she said that she’s never in between. Either you go for or against something.

I will give her that.

Here’s my two cents, morality and religion should never own a place in a beauty pageant. Do not go deeper than world peace.

I thank you!
