Why Was Miss California Partying With Amanda Lepore?
Miss California Carrie Prejean is the new postergirl for conservative zealots! She’s also the new postergirl for … transexual nightlife staples?
Taking a break from her media tour — which itself is just the preface to a lengthy speaking tour, which is where the real money comes in — Prejean found herself partying with Amanda Lepore, the big-bosomed transexual doyenne of NYC nightlife.
Too bad Lepore has no recollection of the introduction: “I don’t remember even meeting her,” Lepore tells Us Weekly. And if she had? Maybe a drink could’ve been thrown. But Lepore is, uh, too classy for that. “It’s really bad for a Miss USA contestant not to believe in gay marriage. As Miss USA, you have to get your hair and makeup done by gay people … it’s bad karma! … It’s stupid for her to be running for Miss USA to say that. It’s a dumbbell remark. If you’re Miss USA, you are supposed to be smart and that’s not a smart idea.”
Maybe this is just the beginning of Prejean trying to have it both ways: Sending the public image that she loves queers, but using just as much of her breath to keep them as second-class citizens. After all, her own Rock Church equates homos with pedophiles; what do they equate transexuals like Lepore with?
Prejean is a hypocrite who will jump on whatever bandwagon she thinks will pump her up next (though those fake boobs of Carrie’s give even Amands a run for her money).

Another chapter in the “Miss California Blowup.” Before reading the article I thought that she was pictured with a blow-up doll. Wait, that’s it! We need a Miss California Blow Up Doll.
And where are the parodies? This should be more entertaining. How about something with the Monkeys song…
Cheer up, Miss Prejean,
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homo-hating queen
Anyone?

Correction, WE actually don’t need a girly blow up doll, but knowing one is out there would be rich !!!

Its a free world we live in, even bigots have the right to their opinion, its time to drop the Miss California. crap. We are trying to deny and bash her for the very same thing we want, RIGHTS… C’mon guys its time to stop beating this dead horse. Perez has polarized this subject, everyone I meet now thinks he is a pig and its looking bad on us. Perez is a open sore oozing Miss California, lets put a band aid on it and hope it heals.

Agreed. But you could explain why’s he’s wrong in the first comment instead of taking the internet too seriously and being militant
militant
militant….

@J: eh, I could have, did not think it was particularly militant, mostly just vehemently dismissive.
I really believe a good expletive is exactly what is needed from time to time.
The first commenter knew he was being offensive, he just did not care. If he did not realize it then he does not think trans people are people, so again no reason. ::shrugs:: Probably my failing in the end, I have just been on this blog long enough to know that some people will keep on keeping however they want.

smart comment from Lepore…sounds like they shoulda invested in her representing cali than that idiot

@getreal:
To Tara’s point, using “trans” as an insult is bigoted. The connotation is that there is something wrong with being a transsexual/gender, etc. It’s like saying “that’s so gay,” which implies that there is something wrong with being gay.
Second, Amanda Lepore is a transsexual and not a transvestite. Lepore identifies as a woman. She is not a man dressed as a woman.
·
Ok.
@getreal: lemmie explain, I guess I have to.
Example. “Dude, that car is so gay”. Gay becomes the negative. The word becomes a pejorative because gay = bad.
When you use trans identifications as insults it is the same thing. Calling a cisgendered woman a trans identification to insults her implies that there is something wrong with being a transvestite,
Also Ms. Lapore does not identify as a transvestite.
There is no reason I can see why the first commenter need apologists.

because she turned this pic into a postcard and sent it to her family & friends saying “Look Y’all, I met one of them there freaks they have New York!”…that woman is an total idiot, do they have stupidity pageants? She could certainly win that one, but then again, she may be too stupid to even snatch that title.
·
No one is trampling on her “rights”. She has a right to say stupid things and we have a right to call her an asshole. Free speech does not guarantee freedom from criticism. Disagreeing with her is not bashing her. We are not having her arrested, we are not beating her up, we are calling on her stupid remarks. Part of speaking your mind is dealing with the feedback.
·
@Tara: My friends and I say things are “so gay” all of the time…I don’t see it as a bad thing. One instance is when I got a new messenger bag that was somewhat on the small side, my friend said “Dude, that murse is so gay!” Meaning that he liked it, but it wasn’t something that a straight guy would normally have the balls to wear. I don’t see it as an insult at all.
Seriously Tara the militant tranny, don’t take yourself so seriously. Or are you just acting that way so people will think you have PMS?
·
The real question is why Amanda is partying with her. Amanda can do better. And Tara, switch to decaf and adjust your shots. It’s not good to get so riled up so early in the day.
·
@me: Hm, Well I am glad for you that it does not bother you, I think then it should not bother you if I call you an asshole, cause ya know it is just my opinion. Incidentally for many people tranny is as offensive as faggot, just pointing out.
Everyone has the right to say or do what they wish, but so do I.
@Oaklander: Believe it or not this is not me riled up, this is just how I am. I defend the right of people to say whatever they want, I just try to throw it right back at them, and decaf is abomination.

Because transvestites like to hang out w/ each other?
