You’re all going to have to get used to this. Miss California Carrie Prejean is the new Chris Brown and Rihanna.
Except without the sweet release of physical violence. Today: two pieces of Carrie Prejean news. Firstly, the naked Carrie Prejean photo that turned up this week is apparently one of many, and the rest are forthcoming. Secondly, Carrie Prejean apparently hates gay people because her mother constantly told her that her dad was gay while she was growing up.
Thirdly, this Carrie Prejean saga seems to have been written by a grossly incompetent TV movie scriptwriter. Fourthly, shut up.
This Miss California Carrie Prejean anti-gay thing seems to have split the world in two – those for gay marriage and those against gay marriage. Also those accepting of homosexuality and those against it. Also those who can spell and those whose website comments are essentially made up of long strings of angry, jagged, unconnected consonants. Also, those who won’t shut up and… oh, those who won’t shut up. Weird.
But as a beauty queen, Carrie Prejean’s main role is to unite. Well, unite and thump on insincerely about world peace in the blind hope that a panel of middle-aged men will lend her a tatty sash for a year. Anyway, our point is that – so far – Carrie Prejean has done a brilliant job of uniting everyone. Mainly because she’s managed to offend everyone on the planet, but still.
First Carrie Prejean managed to offend a vast swathe of the community by speaking out about gay marriage and then making an advert about how the thought of two men rubbing their genitals together makes her want to go on a murder-spree with hammers (we’re paraphrasing). Then, if that wasn’t enough, Carrie Prejean offended all the conservatives who’d previously adopted her as their non-threateningly sexy mouthpiece by posing naked for photos four years ago.
Previously, Carrie Prejean had a winning excuse for the naked photos – she’s a model, and sometimes models have to pose for tawdry naked photos with no make up on in what appears to be someone’s grotty apartment prior to the legal age of consent. Also, Prejean maintained that it was the only naked photo of her ever taken.
Which is wasn’t, clearly, because another one has surfaced on thedirty.com, with the promise of more to come. So that’s that.
More hilarious, however, is the explanation for why Carrie Prejean is such a squawking wrongheaded reactionary in the first place. In what will make a perfect flashback scene when somebody writes the Carrie Prejean: Slightly Pretty, Worrying Orange & Massively Bigoted screenplay, it transpires that her parents might have put the idea that gay people are evil in her head while they were divorcing. The New York Daily News reports:
In one of the documents, Prejean’s father describes a confrontation he had with her mother in 1996, in which “Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality.”… Court papers dated May 16, 2000, include the following statement from a court-appointed counselor: “The mother also alleges the father told the girls their stepfather was gay, that all men with mustaches are gay.”
It’s one for the nature vs nurture debate, isn’t it? Is Carrie Prejean so firmly against gay marriage because her parents brought her up believing that ‘gay’ was the worst insult you could ever use on anybody, or is it because both her parents are clearly remedial-level dunderheads and their combined DNA has left Carrie Prejean roughly as clever as a bag of hair? You decide.

Prejan Defends: Some Photos Photoshopped

You’re a good writer, Stuart. But why are you wasting your talent on articles heaped with judgement, condemnation, and name-calling? This I don’t understand.
Your article basically equates to a very eloquent version of Perez Hilton’s “dumb *****” comment.
I have been to two gay weddings (okay, technically, one wedding and one reception — the wedding was just the two of them), but I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. I went to the weddings because the people involved were family members who I love dearly. Am I, too, a “bigot” anyway?
I fully realize the Christian message of love has often excluded gays. It’s a horrible thing, and I am very sorry that has happened. Especially since the New Testament is all-inclusive when speaking of God’s love, particularly in the oft-quoted John 3:16.

Stewie, I’d bet you love to go Chris Brown on Carrie Prejean, slap the Jesus out of that dumb b-, as it were. Sorry, you’ll just have to continually troll googlenews with your imbecilic logic- completely empty-headed to that in the US we are still fighting the P.C. mafia that the UK lost to long ago. I’m thinking it’s not orange, but green your seeing, like a misogynistic British mini-me to Perez Hilton. It’s quite unseemly how you can’t handle a beautiful woman with an opinion.

Plus I heard she got her fake boobs bought for her by the beauty contest.
BURN THE WITCH

I’d still hit it. I hope her parents didn’t say anything bad about doggiestyle.
Debra from California says
I’ve seen the pictures. Claims that she was nude or semi-nude are just wrong. That would require her crotch or nipples. So look at the pics and tell me, where are the d*** nipples?!
This is all so pitiful.

So what’s wrong with someone not liking queers? I don’t like them either bitches.

When Miss CA gave her answer she essentially proclaimed to the world that she believes in discrimination, specifically discrimination based on sexual orientation. When she did the TV circuit she repeated her discriminatory beliefs and also claimed she was a christian. However, religious based discrimination is still discrimination. She then lent her voice to an organization which openly supports inequality and intolerance, supposedly based on tradition. Well, Tradition based discrimination is still discrimination. Her openly clinging to her discriminatory beliefs and aligning herself with a group whose intent is to prevent people from having equal marriage rights sends the message that she thinks she is better and therefore, more deserving of equal civil marriage rights.
On top up supporting descrimination, inequality and intolerance is the huge question of her truthfulness surrounding the photos. Christian girl semi nude photos are still semi nude photos. Finally, there is the question of whether or not she is fulfilling the duties of her contract of Miss CA.
This young woman has offended millions of people by her public comments and has opened herself up to every kind of response.

I believe that marriage should be permanent. What God has put together, let no man break asunder.
And since the Straight community are the biggest divorcers, they are pissing on the sacred concept of Marriage.
Ban Straight Marriage Now!

Sweet release of physical violence? Holy shit. I’d say it sounds like someone needs to get laid, but then someone might end up dead, and I don’t need that on my conscience.

Miss California’s detractors include a large number of heterophobes. Donald Trump should be shamed into (1) firing Perez Hilton as a judge, and (2) firing his California pageant officials.
An obvious heterophobe has no business judging a pageant composed of persons of the opposite sex. Raging heterophobes can, if they wish to judge beauty contests, judge contestants of their own sex. Otherwise, they are tempted to destroy one of more contestants, as is happening to this poor young woman who simply answered a question truthfully.
Her answer? I don’t agree with it either, but that’s not the point. She does not deserve the public humiliations she has been receiving.
All those people who supported Hillary Clinton’s cries of “sexism, sexism…”Where did they go, and why aren’t they assailing Miss California’s detractors for sexism for that and heterophobia is what this is all the fuss about Miss California is about.

You BlueStapler are worse than what you describe to be a person who descriminates because you don’t believe in Freedom. Everyone has the freedom and right to their own opinion. Then the swimwear competition is already semi nude so they should put a stop to that also! All this “equal marriage rights” hoopla all boils down to two things: property and money. Does anybody honestly thinks those who fight for “Equal rights” really mean “equal rights for everyone”? WRONG!!! They are just looking out for themselves. It’s always equal rights for specific groups this or specific group that because they don’t really care for anyone else. So get off your high horse and you should change you statement “has offended millions of people” to “maybe offended hundreds of people” because honestly who are you kidding!

I love it when ppl accuse C.Prejean of being a hypocritical Christian. “I hate that bigot, intolerant Miss California, so let’s slap the jesus out of her cuz she’s a dumb c-word, christian b-word, nasty %%@$%$%@%%X@%#%^!” Yeah, Miss Prejean saying in a respectful manner that she was raised to believe marriage is between a man and a woman is WAAAAAY more offensive than the slew of profanities and unfair judgements said to her that then generalize other ppl who share the same viewpoint. Yep. Call the kettle black. Astounding.

You are my Miss USA
doug says
She, as many Americans, has lost her right to voice her own opinion. It did not matter what she said. If she had said she was for gay marriage, she would have been scorned for that too. It is sad that people cannot voice their opinion in the land of the free.
