NEW YORK - The reigning Miss California has gone to Washington to help launch a campaign opposing same-sex marriage.
Carrie Prejean told NBC's "Today" show Thursday that she'll be working with the National Organization for Marriage to "protect traditional marriages."
The 21-year-old says that marriage is "something that is very dear to my heart" and she's in Washington to help save it.
She says many people have thanked her for standing up for traditional marriage.

Guess we know now that Miss CA did not "misspeak". She actually meant "country" when speaking about marriage only being between a man and a woman. Not just for herself, not just for her circle of friends and family. She means it for the entire country.
I wonder how she thinks she is going to "save it"? Is she going to work on the 50% divorce rate? Oops, probably not. She just wants to keep the gays out of the "sanctity" of it all. ::)

maybe she's going to hold an umbrella to keep the gay rain off America in the "gathering storm."

Effeminacy and homosexuality are not synonymous unless we're willing to accept that the stereotype is always true.
Moreover, my experience has been that people who are truly not homophobic are comfortable with a masculine homosexual male, whereas an effeminate guy illicits a "cringe" factor.

I suspect that flamboyantly effeminate gay men are, like drag queens, anachronistic left overs. In a more homophobic past stereotyped gay men were routinely degraded and EXPECTED to assume a "female" rather than a "masculine" role in society. I find effeminacy just as offensive as I find drag queens tacky, and IMO they are both products of society's attempts at degradation and scorn.

2. I have NEVER condemned femininity. Stop putting words in my mouth.
3. I can and will discuss my POV on effeminacy wherever the subject presents itself. It is not a topic to be discussed on Modern Manhood only.

no I do not know that your opinion is a fact, and I can't see how you would know it without making assumptions that are divorced from her ENTIRE STATEMENT THAT EVENING.
