Gay Marriage Sinks Miss California's shot at Crown
Jeff Wrangler:
Chicken cutlets? ???

Perez H. asked the question the contestant chose randomly, right? He did not formulate the question on the spot to trick her into airing her beliefs, right? At least, that is my understanding.
As I see it, the problem is not that she was asked to express her views on gay marriage. She gave an answer that I and many others disagree with. Fine.
The problem is Perez Hilton.
He could have withheld from calling her "a dumb bitch" in an interview and posting nastigrams about her on his vlog. He was undoubtedly (& unfortunately) perceived by some, as the face of 'gay activism' in this case. His juvenile attitude turned what could've been a passing comment into much more. The reaction - Miss Cali becomes a 'martyr to her beliefs' and the new Anita Bryant for the 'anti-gay marriage movement'. He should've known better.
As for Miss California, she has been quoted as saying:
"... I think that there should be rights for people, you know, especially in California. I think that people that are homosexual should have some rights, you know, hospital rights, and things like that." (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,518574,00.html)
Dang. How touching.

I'm trying to figure out if they are the frozen ones and if they are... do they unfreeze them before the pageant event and do they get reused? Also, "cooked or uncooked"?
