Miss California to Launch Campaign Against Gay Marriage
Get ready for Miss California’s battle with the gay community to heat up.
On NBC’s Today show Thursday, Miss California Carrie Prejean announced that she’ll be working with the National Organization for Marriage on a campaign opposing gay marriage.
“I am just here to protect marriage,” said Prejean, 21. “The National Organization for Marriage basically just respects marriages and people who support it. I am here to protect traditional marriage.”
Of the outrage following her conservative stance, she said, “I never thought in a million years that this would be happening right now. I was attacked for giving my own opinion on stage. I am going to do whatever it takes to protect marriage.”
Marriage, she added, “is something that is very dear to my heart, and I am just here to protect it. That’s all I am here to do.”
Although it is an issue “people are passionate about,” Prejean said: “Regardless of our opinions, we need to respect each other, even when we disagree. It’s all about respect.”
She said she has gotten no physical threats because of her views. Instead, “I’ve actually had so may supporters and so many people say, ‘Thank you so much. It had to take a beauty pageant contestant to actually stand up for what she believes in.’”
Asked about some claims that she resembles Alaksa Gov. Sarah Palin, Prejean laughed. “I think that’s funny,” she said. “The only comparison is that we have both been in a beauty pageant.”
“Definitely not anytime soon,” Prejean said. “That’s for sure.”

Her relgi-osity doesn’t honor that ‘god’s will thingy’ the Pageant was forced to be ethical and honest and admit, yes they paid for her synthetic tata’s bulging out of the bikini top.
The pulpit pounders insist Jesus was never married and we’re to emulate Jesus … so EXACTLY why does marriage need preserved?
Christian insurgents sinnin’ against nice Jewish boy Jesus’ edicts….to be nice to ALL people …. have some ‘splainin’ to do.
Who can remember Jesus saying to love everyone except gay people; if it was such a big deal, he would’ve mentioned it at least once at his many magic shows or ranting rallies against bigots of his era.
Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man. -Thomas Jefferson

what does “protect marriage” mean, it means don’t get divorced. It doesn’t mean to keep certain people from entering into marriage.

Anti-gay marriage viewpoints are the same as anti-black viewpoints during the 1960′s, soon all you will filter out into Alabama and Texas where you belong and the parts of the country that matter will forget about you anyways.
