Miss America

This is a shameful story. It is common knowledge that not everyone believes in gay marriage. It is ok to be pro gay marriage but if you oppose it how dare you. Where is the right to choose? It is take away from those of us who believe in traditional family values. Miss California should be given an award for living in that liberal cesspool and still having the courage to say how she really feels. If she had said she was pro gay marriage she would have been hailed as a hero by the left and may have won the pageant.

Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California's comments regarding gay marriage.

When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, tells FOXNews.com that he was "saddened" by Prejean's statement.

"As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," said Lewis in a statement. "I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit. I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family."

Co-director Shanna Moakler told FOXNews.com that she fully supported Lewis' statement.

But Prejean told FOXNews.com that she has "no regrets" and is "happy" with the answer she gave.
