Miss USA

I have not seen a clip or anything, but I did hear that one of the girls was unfairly asked about the rights of gay marriage. She defended the true marriage between a man and a woman and then got slaughtered by the media for it, and the idiot who came up with the question. If they knew what the answer should be, why would they even ask, as if there wasn't a difference of answer or an alternative? I don't get that. Besides, it's a question like one of those pageant questions that is open ended and based on opinion, which means there isn't supposed to be a right or a wrong answer, so all of this doesn't make sense to me. On the TODAY show, Matt Lauer did bring up the fact that she stood up for what she believed when the author of the question said she was not politically savvy. The girl when asked if she would now change her answer immediately said No, and that she was not concerned about being politically savvy (which only means popular) but was more concerned with being biblically correct. Wham Bam! Way to go girl, stupid people. I wish I could phone her personally. I hope she knows what it meant to a lot of us who have no voice in the world of media. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's right. Doing what's right might not always be what's popular. When will people see this. When it's all said and done, I hope to be the quirkiest, most peculiar person alive!

Amen! It was so nice to see someone in the public eye, stand up for what they believed to be right. It so frustrating to see these Hollywood stars abuse their power by name calling those who think differently from them.

Ditto! Finally, someone who can be a voice for the other side, the "dark" side, evidently...

Isn't it so refreshing to have someone not give way to the "popular" public opinion. I loved that she didn't back down or even regret the things that she stood for.

I love that last sentence you wrote! We're going to have to embrace being wacky to people! It's just going to get worse!

I really want to send her a letter or email or something telling her how grateful we are for her courage to stand up for her beliefs. I think for every person out there who is mad about what she did, there are two who support her. We need to do a better job of showing support to our "own"!

Yeah. I heard about this and was really impressed that the girl stood up for her beliefs!
