What's the real deal? Did she really get fired for not fulfilling her contract duties as Miss California? Did she get fired because she was opposed to gay marriage? I don't care why she was fired, I"m just glad she was. Personally I don't think that she should have used the platform to preach her own debilitating agenda. She has a right to her own views on gay marriage and other controversial issues, however, being Miss California is not the soap box to stand on.
If she wants to take her show on the road and promote "opposite marriage" (which is what, divorce? Cause that's the opposite of marriage....grow a brain chic) that's fine, just dont do it as Miss California. When a woman has a title such as Miss "whatever state" and Miss USA her platform needs to center around the BENEFIT of something...and promoting "opposite marriage" is definitely not a benefit for anyone other than the right wing Bible toting civil rights denying morons in this state.
I am glad she's out. VERY GLAD. The National Organization for Marriage has stood behind her and states in their 1.5 million dollar ad (in which she is PROMINENTLY displayed and an active participant) that "Gay marriage has consequences". What are those consequences? What is the problem? Are the consequences that many of these conservative white people will have to face the fact that this is not an anal retentive country? That we allow love to be just that, LOVE?
To all these bible totters who are on her side (the "anti-opposite marriage side") I leave you with one BIBLE quote, please explain how this is a limiting quote, and where it states that you have to be a man and a woman to qualify.
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1COR 13
