The furore over Miss California Carrie Prejean’s anti-gay stance is easy to explain.
No, it’s not because a woman living in the modern age can still openly consider gay people to be second-class citizens. And it’s not because a woman in the modern age can still experience an intolerant backlash just for expressing her right to free speech. It’s because a beauty queen managed to speak an entire sentence without getting confused and bursting into tears. Seriously, that’s messed up.
Anyway, Miss California Carrie Prejean has just decided to make an anti-gay advert. So that’s bound to bloody help things.
Perez Hilton has got a lot to answer for, hasn’t he? If he never existed then a) we wouldn’t have to look at paparazzi photos of people we don’t recognise covered in bad MS Paint scrawl, b) we wouldn’t be called ‘The British Perez Hilton’ so often and therefore we’d hate ourselves a lot less and c) nobody would still be carping on about Miss California all the poxy time.
You may remember that, a couple of weeks ago, Perez Hilton asked Miss California Carrie Prejean what her views on gay marriage where during the Miss USA pageant, and she replied by pulling a funny face and saying that gay people were all bastards or something. At which point, all hell broke loose.
Honestly, what was Perez Hilton doing even asking that question at a beauty contest in the first place? The only appropriate questions to ask at beauty contests are “Can you say something insincere about world peace and kittens, please?” and “Can you waggle your tits around a bit?” All his question proved was that beauty queens are a bit simple which, as revelations go, is right up there with the one about bears crapping in the woods.
But still, the damage is done now. And the backlash won’t be terminal for Carrie Prejean. All she needs to do is lay low for a couple of weeks and… what? She’s decided to star in television advert that denounces gay marriage? Oh Jesus. CNN reports:
Carrie Prejean, the Miss USA contestant from California who declared her opposition to same-sex marriage on the pageant stage, will star in a new $1.5 million ad campaign funded by the National Organization for Marriage… According to the group, the ad will call “gay marriage advocates to account for their unwillingness to debate the real issue: gay marriage has consequences.”
You know what? Good for Carrie Prejean. It’s about time that someone drew attention to the consequences of gay marriage, so well done her. But only so long as the one consequence of gay marriage that she chooses to highlight is the consequence where skinny bimbos with improbably orange skin get to thump on about a subject that they clearly don’t know a lot about like they’re a titting expert in front of a global audience. If it’s any other consequence, she should probably shut up.
Makes you nostalgic for the days when beauty queens were just drug-addled nymphomaniacs, this, doesn’t it?

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion so here is mine, I dont care either what anyone else says because it is just another opinion.
Marriage: Marriage is meant for a man and a woman, you gays can do whatever you want to unite yourselves and make it be legally known, however, make up your own meaning for it, don’t use Marriage. If it’s something that your state or country wants to legalize, then they should remake a new term for it. Marriage was introduced to be sacred and holy through the togetherness of a man and a woman. Gays don’t bother me, its when they try to get involved too much with what the true original meaning of a marriage really is. Carrie has a good point! She is just expressing her right of freedom of speech and everyone is entitled to there own opinion, so everyone should take everything we all say with a grain of salt!

Fuck, the rest of my comment disappeared. Please be assured it was incredibly witty. Also Chris, whilst you are indeed entitled to an opinion, much like Carrie Prejean’s, it will be widely derided if it is idiotic. No-one is going to stop you holding foolish and/or bigoted opinions, but they will mock you for it and rightly so.
Given the opportunity, I’d ban marriage for everyone, because it gets on my tits. If you want tax breaks, register yourself as a limited company, there’s no reason you should get ’em just because you signed a piece of paper promising not to fuck other people.

I’m guessing that gay marriage must be a real pain in the ass.
But seriously, I think she’s quite a clever girl really. She’s suddenly gone from a perky tits nobody to an international topic of debate – she probably actually loves gays.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised that if in years to come, when she’s not being talked, has no money and is back to being a typical drug addled beauty queen – she ends up in a lesbian porn flick.
But if it pays the rent!

‘Marriage is meant for a man and a woman’
Marriage is a few words spoken in front of witnesses so that a union can become lawful. There is nothing sacred or special about it.

“Marriage is a few words spoken in front of witnesses so that a union can become lawful. There is nothing sacred or special about it.”
great! then you can make your own unspecial and not sacred legal term. but we’ll stick to marriage.
Julian Mentat says
>> “Marriage was introduced to be sacred and holy”
Chris: ‘sacred’ – ‘holy’ – what the heck do those words actually mean?
If you’re saying that marriage should be treated with respect and reverence, then OK, I’m sure the gay community can be at least as respectful as the straight community. You know, the straight community that gets divorced so often.
But if you’re referring to some god or other, please produce him or shut up about him. We can’t make laws based on imaginary ghosts.

In South Africa, where we no longer discriminate against people for whatever reason seeing as when we did, it kinda didn’t work out all that well, gay marriage has been legal for a couple of years. And yes, gay people getting married has a consequence, a deep, profound, far-reaching one.
And that is… Married gay people. Extraordinary, isn’t it? And somehow, some way, the sacred, holy, Invisible Magic Friend-approved version of marriage remained intact.
Anyway, I’m off to go marry my boyfriend. ‘Cause I can. And no-one else gives a shit.

Hey Stuart,
Go gossip with all the other girls and leave the beauty queen alone… I know you are just jealous
