Miss California?

[blas87]

I'm amazed she was even able to answer the question, as horrifying as her answer was.

But I gotta remember, it's a beauty pageant, not a brain pageant.

the one nitpick I will make... I doubt Miss California (or most people who are accused of being homophobes) are truly homophobes. Yes, there are people who legitimately fear and hate homosexuals... the majority though are heterosupremicists... they believe in the inherint superioirty of heterosexuals. It's a fine line I know, but there is a distinction. It's possible that Miss California isn't even a heterosupremicist... she may merely be an extreme heteronormalist (which hell... most homosexuals are heteronormalists... we recognize that heterosexuality is the norm) to the point of believing that anything that isn't the norm should not be recognized as existing.
Now, I'm in no way saying she's right... she could not be more wrong, and what she said is most defintily hurtful... but overusing the word 'homophobe' is only going to make the word lose meaning when describing people who truly are homophobic.

she wasnt even first runner up before the question period which meant her score went UP after she answered her question.

So...let me get this all straight. During the 'question' part of the pageant, Miss California was asked about gay marriage. She hemmed and hawed before saying, "Well, I think marriage is between a man and a woman". She did not win the pageant.

Now, she's trying to sue people for the harrassment she's gotten and for not wining the pageant. Yeah, honey, I can't imagine why pageant judges wouldn't vote for a homophobe. I even heard her say that, "I don't care about being politically correct, I want to be biblically correct". Oh, gag me with a spoon.

So, she apparently advocates discriminating against American citizens based solely on their sexuality and now she's complaining about harrassment? First of all, you openly advocate discrimination, you deserve to be called out for the prejudiced twit that you are. Second of all, this wasn't a job. This was a PAGEANT. A freakin' beauty contest. Have you considered that the girl that won might have been prettier than you? Does that hurt your little feelings? Awwww...too bad, bitch! You just hurt a lot of my friends.
