Gay Marriage Sinks Miss California's shot at Crown
injest:
so merely stating she is for straight marriage only (in answer to a specific question) is tacky because there are people that are not in agreement with it?
since when has cultural or religious differences been 'tacky'?? and if the issue is so sensitive why ask it?

To my knowledge, there is no relationship between the words tact and tacky and I checked one dictionary for the etymology; of course I could be mistaken.
I did not say her answer was tacky; I said it lacked tact, which I defined before.
As for why ask the question? You'd have to ask the guy who asked it.

She was poised and perfect and even smiled when the crowd applauded her religious ignorance and bigotry.
IMO, how she says something doesn't improve what she is saying.

again...is having a differing opinion not allowed?

ok, putting the parsing of words aside ::) ::)
you didn't answer my question as to what exactly she said that was lacking in tact.
