We’ll stop “trying to legalize everything that pleases a majority of folk” when we stop electing politicians by a majority vote. Most of them want to keep their jobs.

When are we going to stop trying to legalize everything that pleases a majority of folks? Just because I am accepting of gays don’t mean it needs to be legalized. What are we going to try legalizing next? Because I can assure you those crying out for gay rights won’t be the last. Soon as we legalize that, someone is going to come up with something else they think is part of their civil rights and want it legalized.

Can’t y’all see where we’re heading?

First of all Miss california should not have loss the competition because the judges were bias. I felt that the same question should have been ask to each contestent to get their reply. How can you make a correct judgement when everyone is given a different question?

To her answer: I also feel as she do that marriage is between a woman and man as explain in the bible. Therefore, instead of pushing for gay marriage rights. I would feel better if they called their unit something else rather than marriage.

As far as rights to pensions of their partners etc goes I have no problem with them getting rights. I have a problem when they call their union marriage. If they called it for example Partners committment cermoney I am ok with that or something like it not marriage.

Miss califoria you are a smart woman who have rights and standards just like the gays and you exercise your rights just like they do. They don’t like what you said live with it because we have to live with their feelings every day and we certainly don’t react like they do.

God’s position is that people in the United States have the right to choose same sex marriage but that he prefers “opposite marriage”?

Please, Gerry, honey– call him and tell him he’s entitled to his opinion but he needs to get his facts rights. Only “opposite marriage” is allowed in most places in the United States. Only “opposite” couples get any federal benefits. :(

If you could pass this on to God, so he could pass it on to his fans– I bet he could get more followers on Twitter than Ashton Kutcher!– I would really appreciate it.

And I’m sure I’m not alone in my opinion that Carrie might not be as enthusiastic as you are about a meeting.

silly rabbit,tricks are for kids!!

what “facts” did you learn that led you to believe in (your) God?

that is…

“There is more to prove that my God is the only God than anything else.”

what “proof” do you have?

to all the Christians here i put this up for ya(got this from some dude on another website),this is in ya bible

She was not stripped of her title, and she did great in the contest! She came in second! Which, from my recollection, is pretty good for Miss California. We tend to place but not to win in beauty contests, going back forever. I don’t think her answer cost her the crown at all, and I would not personally have been offended by a defense of a traditional position on same sex marriage. They did, after all, ask for her opinion. I was offended by her nonsensical “I’m proud to live in a country where we can all choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage” because we don’t actually have that choice. She expressed an opinion opposing the rights of other people without actually understanding the rights we don’t have.

That’s legitimately offensive, no matter what your opinion might be.

Miss America is, after all, a good example of faux royalty. She’s a polite figurehead – representative of and accessible to everyone.

The the job description calls for diplomacy, not naive, grandstanding honesty.

If she had said she thought we should all be rounded up and sent to holiday camps she might have been very honest, poised and confident, but I doubt the judges would have honoured her with the crown.

He asked her opinion, she gave it. If he wanted her to regurgitate the PC response he should have stated that in his question.

I was offended because she said she was proud that people in the United States could choose same sex marriage or “opposite marriage.” People in the United States cannot choose same sex marriage– even those states that do allow it cannot offer gay couples any Federal marriage benefits, which are the more significant things like social security, tax benefits, and the right not to be separated if you fall in love with someone from another country. No same sex couple gets to choose those things. It’s not okay for someone to express an opinion on same sex marriage in America without understanding that it does not exist here in any significant way. I can’t choose it. She said in front of a large impressionable audience that I could. If she were right, she would certainly be entitled to her opinion. She does not have the right to lie about other people’s rights.

In Saudi Arabia, the maximium punishment for homosexuality is public execution, but the government will use other punishments, i.e. fines, jail time and whipping as alternatives, unless it feels that homosexuals are challenging state authority by engaging in a gay rights movement. [4] Iran is perhaps the nation to execute the largest number of its citizens for homosexuality. Since its Islamic revolution in Iran, the Iranian government has executed more than 4000 people charged with homosexual acts. In Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban homosexuality went from a capital crime to one that it punished with fines and prison sentence, and a similar situation seems to have occurred in Iraq.

“WHY couldn’t I have just been a famous drag queen?”

“WHY do I live with 3 questionable roomates in a shabby place in Louisville, Kentucky, when I could have just STAYED in Houston to answer some trumped up ‘failure to appear’ warrants?”

WHY is it so damn hard to find well fitting shoes and be the celebrity I was meant to be?”

It is an interesting freudian slip. Right wing conservatives deep down think this country is theirs and anyone who does not fit into their narrow idea of who is acceptable (white, conservative, and Christian) does not deserve the same piece of the American dream.
