Political correctness continues its reign of oppression, now demonstrating itself at the Miss USA pageant, where in Sunday night's competition, Miss California, who had been an odds-on favorite to win the crown, was asked by homosexual blogger and pageant judge Perez Hilton, what her stance was on same-sex marriage.

She answered that it was "great" that the option is available in some states, but that "in my country and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman -- no offense to anyone out there."

The beauty queen went on Billy Bush's radio show on Monday, saying she believes her comment on gay marriage "cost me my crown," but she "wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel."

The response from the audience the night of the competition was mixed—boos, followed by a smattering of applause, but Perez Hilton has continued to lambast Prejean.

In an appearance Monday on MSNBC, Hilton said he was absolutely "shocked and incredibly frustrated and disappointed" with Prejean's stance.

"That's not the kind of woman I want to be Miss USA," he said. "Miss USA should represent all Americans and, with her answer, she instantly alienated millions of gays and lesbians and their friends."

Earlier, Hilton had said on his video blog he would have run onstage and ripped the tiara off Prejean's head had she won the title.

Keith Lewis, executive director of California 's Miss USA operations, said in a statement released to Hilton that "religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."

Assuming that the only reason one would believe in marriage as between one man and one woman is motivated by religious belief is the pc way to dismiss the meaning of marriage altogether. It says if you believe this because of your religious outlook, you have no validity in your outlook—that religion cannot be a legitimate grounds for informing your opinion.

It also handily rejects the mounds of social evidence that children do much better and are healthier emotionally if they grow up with their own biological parents.

“Good for Miss California,” said  Johnny Franks in  The Chattanoogan. She was asked a loaded question by an openly gay judge, and held to her morals when it would have been so easy to “sacrifice them for the crown.” Shame on everybody who booed her—“since when do we live in a pink Nazi society that sensors free speech.”
