Miss California Carrie Prejean to Keep Crown and Title Despite Nude Photos - Personal Agenda?
Controversy Continues About Carrie Prejean's Topless Photos, Miss USA Pageant Answer and Personal Agenda
It looks like Carrie Prejean, Miss California 2009, will get to keep her crown despite some semi-topless photos of her as a teenager which appeared on the internet during May as well as her controversial reply to Perez Hilton at the Miss USA Pageant in April.Donald Trump Issues Verdict on Miss California Carrie Prejean
In a statement issued today, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA Pageant admitted they had a "little bit of a dilemma" with Carrie Prejean. Trump said Miss California gave a "very honest answer when asked a very tough question" at the Miss USA Pageant pageant adding, "It's the same answer that the President of the United States gave. It's the same answer that many people gave..." In his statement Trump called the question a controversial question, a tough question, and probably a fair question. About the racy photos of Carrie Prejean as a teen, Trump said that although they were risqué, they were acceptable and fine. (1)
Meanwhile, thedirty.com is threatening to post another photo of Miss California tomorrow reported to be "the image of all images."
Response to Miss California Carrie Prejean's Answer at the Miss USA Pageant
Miss California Carrie Prejean first gained national attention when homosexual activist Perez Hilton asked Prejean an agenda-driven question about gay marriage and then publicly lambasted in his blog her when she replied with her honest opinion. Keith Lewis, the co-director of the Miss California Pageant said he was "personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," in a statement to Fox News adding, "I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family." (2) Apparently no one thought to ask Lewis why such a divisive question was allowed to be asked in the first place. Later Donald Trump admitted the question Perez Hilton asked Miss California was a no-win question and said "she was going to get killed" whichever way she responded. (3)

I have to say that I would side with miss California for 2 reasons. Number 1 is Marraige is a religious right not a government right and the bible makes it very clear what Marraige is. And number 2 is that every time the government does get involved in it IE making it legal it infringes on the rights of the church. We continue to pick and choose when and where the Church and the state will be separate. Its ok for the President to say God Bless America, but its not ok for students to Bless God in our Pledge of Alligence. Just because Perez Hilton has the backing of the Gay community does not mean his views are alway correct. In this case I think he is not only wrong but in being wrong he is attacking a person that has more morale fiber in one strand of hair then he does in his entire body. What happens behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors but what happens in church should stay Gods will.
Those who are upset with her response should blame Perez for asking politically motivated questions to begin with.
Excellent coverage of the non-event fiasco. rotfl.
I agree with the Don's decision. Nice write-up.
I give Carrie credit for having the courage to state her opinion, something the Donald himself wouldn't do at yesterday's press conference! And she shows more class than Perez, who resorted to name-calling because she doesn't agree with his views. Why is it acceptable for gays to spout their views, but not us heteros? We are in the majority, you know.... As for the nude photos, that's nothing than thousands of other beautiful women haven't done. It shouldn't even be an issue.
:)
Great coverage here. I don't think the question should have been asked, because there was NO right answer to that question. We have to be so politically correct that we can't even tell the truth anymore in how we truly believe about anything.
I'm glad that she was able to keep her crown. Good for her
