So a lot of hullaballo was raised last week that Miss California was set up by a gay man from California in the Q&A section, with a question she could not answer correctly about gay marriage .
I would like to present to you her original and unedited answer to the question "Should every state allow same sex marriage?"
"I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
Forget what she was talking about for a second. The Syntax of her statement was horrible, she seemed selfish and arogant, and she blindly trampled over the hot button issue of sexuality being a choice or not which was not the context of the question.
Basically she sounded like a dumb, rich, blond bitch from California.
I would like to present to you what she should have said, and what would have gotten her the title.
Marriage occupies a unique and contradictory place in the culture of the United States of America. Almost universally marriage is a religious institution, yet the federal state and local governments all have legal definitions of marriage. The fact that many of these definitions strictly follow the Judeo-Christian definition may or may not be a violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment of the constitution of the United States of America.
I was raised in a strictly devout Christian household, and my faith prevents me from personally endorsing same-sex marriage. There are several religions and religious sects however who will recognize same sex couples. Since I am not a member of any of these groups I feel I have no say as to what the legitimacy of their rites are.
While I do not agree that Same Sex couples should be allowed to marry within my own faith, I do think that if government in this country is going to continue to recognize marriage in the form of licenses and tax benefits, that those benefits should be non discriminatory, provided that the marriage ceremony is performed in an established house of God within good standing of that religions hierarchy.
a little wordy, and it might violate time standards in the competition. but it sounds intelligent, and neatly sidesteps the issue of personal beliefs over policy.
Now as for Parez Hilton, not related to Paris as I found out, he was an ass-hat anyway. This openly gay man makes a living on invading the personal lives of celebrities and trying to find out if they are gay or not. he has an impressive record of outing people against their will. For evidence I would recommend logging onto his blog and doing a search for CNN anchor "Anderson Cooper."
I understand WHY he asked the same sex marraige question. He has a personal stake in it and California, in the top 5 of most liberal states in the union is among the states that led this push towards permitting gay people to wed. so asking a Californian about the issue may make a certain amount of sense. it does not change the fact though that we are asking a beauty queen a political question. this is a crew that for nearly a century has been famous for giving six year old answers to thousand year old problems. Asking for a coherent opinion is like asking for a hand job from someone with no hands. it JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN!
my simple sollution to this horrible misunderstanding is that we remove the Q&A section all together. I want to stare at babes in bikini's, watch them do cool useless shit, and be poised. I do not want to hear these little girls talk.
