Miss California To Star in NOM Anti-Gay Marriage Ad
by SAB on Apr.30, 2009, under News
CNN reports that “Miss California,” or Carrie Prejean by her mortal name, will star in an upcoming National Organization for Marriage (NOM) ad against gay marriage. If you didn’t hear, Prejean said the following in response to a question from Perez Hilton regarding wether every state should legalize gay marrage:
“I think it’s great that 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 and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman.”
Perez later roasted her on her own site, and you can imagine why. Her statement falsely assumes that people choose to be gay or not, and the phrase “opposite marriage” is refreshing in its stupidity. Aren’t Miss America contestants supposed to be inspiring little kids everywhere? Can’t she say something about land mines or the poor or the starving children in wherever… and not drag herself and the pagent into a worn out and tired battle against civil rights for gay people?
MSNBC reports that a recent (4/30/09) poll shows that 49% of Americans support marriage than oppose it (46%), soaring from 32 % in 2004. Even more surprisingly 53% of those polled think their state should recognize gay marriages from other states!
Sorry “Miss California”… but you and the rest of the social conservatives are on the way out. Enjoy that crown while it lasts (especially with news that Prejean’s breasts may have been ill gotten… funded by the paegent itself!)
