Alabama Rep Seeks to Support Miss California
The ironically-named Jay Love, an Alabama state representative from Montgomery, introduced a resolution in the legislature on Tuesday supporting Miss California USA's recent comments about same-sex marriage.
At Sunday night's Miss USA competition, judge Perez Hilton asked Carrie Prejean, the holder of the Miss California title, if she thought states should legalize same-sex marriage. Prejean, showing the incisive political analysis usually associated with her profession, infamously replied:
Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. Um, we live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what? In my country and 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 and that’s how I think that it should be, between a man and a woman. Thank you.
Ms. Prejean came in as a runner-up, and has since alleged that she lost the contest because she gave the "biblically correct" answer instead of the "politically correct" answer. And Jay Love is ready to back her up on that. He says that Carrie Prejean is being punished for speaking her mind, and that some people "telling people what they can believe and what they can say," and that he's staunchly opposed to that. So far, every Republican in the House and several Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors of the resolution.
Is this really what the anti-marriage folks have come to? Putting their money into deranged videos and rallying around the addled commentary of a beauty queen? It's over, folks. We've won.

Beautiful comments
"the addled commentary of a beauty queen"?
What? Is that what passes for an unbiased article these days?
I think her reply was anything but addled. In fact, I applaud her for standing by what she believes and not bowing to pressure from the PC crowd.
I may not agree with her, but I'm not going to dismiss her beliefs/opinions just because of that.
Bigotry is Beautiful?
Beauty is more than T&A. I applaud her for speaking the truth, but isn't that expected? Wow she didn't lie, lets give her a medal (tiara). Honesty is a great quality, but bigotry is not.
"No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think that it should be, between a man and a woman." In other words, no offense to anyone but I think that my beliefs are more important than your freedoms. How can that not be offensive?
Did she lose because of her views? I'd say yes. Bigotry is ugliness. Ugly does not win beauty contests.
Bigot
Hey, maybe she would have won had she said that marriage is ok unless it was between people of different races. Or maybe she should have said no marriage should count unless it is polygamist, like most marriages in that ugly work of fiction know as the "Holy Bible".
