And “they” make me so weary. She said “I believe”. And folks immediately say “government shouldn’t discriminate against” and all sorts of other sweeping statements.
She expressed her personal opinion and belief. She did not make a law, attack anyone else, or do anything inflammatory. Why are “we” the only ones who have to be tolerant of those with different beliefs?!
I was clapping my hands all by myself in my living room last night after she answered that question. Sad thing, though, I knew it would cause an uproar! And it did. Go girl!
what ticks me off is that they asked that question in the first place They were totally setting her up It use to be that the contestants had questions about politics, education or the environment To ask that a question about same sex marriage is ridiculous And then to blast her about it is judgemental What makes me angry is that the gay-rights supporters want equal rights and want to be heard but when we express our opinions we are blasted and then insulted Ok I am going to have to stop now b/c I am on FIRE Love you girl Kim
From moving around the United States, I have noticed that we tend to be prejudiced and make judgments about people from different states…I’m guilty, because as soon as I read about this, I thought, “Wow…and it’s coming from Miss California?!” Good for her for speaking her mind, and shame on those who would try to deny her the freedom to have her belief and speech. Beware, though…as one of our favorite pastors used to say, “First we are expected to tolerate, then embrace, then that’s not enough, and we have to celebrate.” You can see it, can’t you?! Getting off the soapbox and going to rummage for some dinner! Lisa, hope you and the family had a great, restful trip!
Isn’t it astounding how she’s getting flack for this? Why not appreciate and support her strength for speaking the truth, her truth and how she lives and conducts her life?
I think she should have gained points for living true to her word. Our good name is all we have on this earth. Stand up for what you belive in. YOU GO GIRL!
Good for her.

Atta girl.
She’s gonna get some FLACK for her belief. I pray she continues to stand up for it.

That is so great that she was willing to ACTUALLY say what she believes. Very proud of her!

I watched the whole thing last night, and didn’t really have a favorite up until that moment. I was ECSTATIC that she took a stand.

ROCK ON Miss California!
I saw her on The Today show today. I’m so proud of her.
And Perez Hilton…barf on him for not allowing her to have an opinion contrary to his own.
ABSOLUTELY! Oh and Ruth A Stiles’ comment…HILARIOUS!
