Gay Marriage Sinks Miss California's shot at Crown

She is pretty and telegenic and uses polite and unoffensive language (to many) and so she can be used as a tool to try and con people. The comment in the article about how friendly she is to gay people reminds me of white people in the 50's and 60's who where also good law abiding church going folk who would say they had no problem with the "Negro's", and could and would be perfectly nice and civil to the black people in their communities, so long as they didn't get "uppity" and demand their full and equal rights. People like Miss. CA. are like that. They're fine with Gay people, so long as they know their place and are content to ride in the back of the bus.

what is not a surprise is that now Ms Prejean has been made into a spokesperson for hetero only marriage.
and who created her status and usefulness as a spokeperson? - why of course it was the idiot blogger Lavandeira, and his vicious misogynist attacks on her.
curious how the far right Bible thumpers and the idiot left in the gay community feed off each other, one can't fundraise without the other. a kind of sick symbiosis.
but as long as there are deluded people on the left who will reflexively applaud cretins like Lavandeira and angry Bible thumpers on the right who focus their hate on gay people, this silly drama will go on and on.

I'm inclined to think she did that herself. Her answer was the shocking part, not Perez's attack on her afterwards. The fact that she was booed - and then the fact that she was also cheered for admitting her bigotry and being proud of it.
What you see now happening are the bigoted crowd jumping on a person who "thinks like them" but is also beautiful, polite and with a nice Christian upbringing.
Usually the anti-gay crowds are fronted by crabbed men and clownlike Tammy Faye impersonators from TVangelist world. Miss CA is much prettier and as we can all tell, many people are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to such a person - no matter what she is saying. I'm not sure why that is. Are people still equating beauty with 'goodness'?
