Not sure, but wasn't Perez asked his opinion as well?

As much as you try to make it, this in not Perez Hilton's responsibility. They each made their own choices.
For all I know If the question had never been asked, and she had won, (which Donald Trump said she would not) we might be watching her as Miss USA in anti-gay-marriage commercials.

He has a responsibility to his sponsors as well. A Miss USA pageant is nothing but a subjective contest. He didn't create a hostile environment, all his comments came after it was over. Yes, he's one of the judges, he holds the power to decide, not Miss CA. No surprises there.
--- Quote ---He may have the authority to ask any question he wanted in this venue because of its "show" qualities, but imagine being asked that question in a real job interview...and not getting the job because of the wrong answer--whether the interviewer was anti marriage or for it and the interviewee on the other side.
--- End quote ---
Imagine NOT getting asked this question at a job interview but getting asked another question and getting the answer wrong. Same result.
