I read two news articles yesterday and today about Miss Carlifornia, the beauty queen defends gay-marriage comments. During the pageant, Hilton asked Carrie Prejean if every state should follow Vermont in legalising same sex marriage.
She replied, “I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or another, but in my country, and in my family, I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offence to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”
After the pageant, she further defended her views, “At that moment after I’d answered the question, I knew that I was not going to won because of my answer”. Still, she stands by her statements. “I don’t take back what I said,” she told Lauer, adding that she “had spoken from my heart, from my beliefs and for my God”. “It’s not about being politically correct,” she said. “For me, it’s about being biblically correct.”
