Miss USA


Ok here I go. I tuned in to watch the Miss USA pageant Sunday night. It was enjoyable. One thing that crossed my mind was " why don't they have any credible judges?" I thought this was supposed to be a legitimate pageant. Holly Madison? Maybe, she does editing for playboy so I guess she has some experience in bodies and personality. Maybe. Then there was the guy, I can't remember his name...... he's on SNL and does Bill Cosby on Celebrity Jeopardy. He's fine I just don't see why he should be a judge. Oh wait then there was freaking Perez Hilton...... why someone hasn't taken him out yet it beyond me. Well I'm sure most of you have heard by now or maybe watched yourself, Miss California was asked a question about gay marriage. Don't forget the question was asked by Hilton the openly gay freak show. Well at the very end of her answer she said "I believe that marriage is between a man and women, no offence to anyone." I turned to Tanner and said "WOW, she just lost the crown but she has got some serious balls! Good for her." She was first runner up.


Well here we are now..... it has become this huge controversy. WHY???? She gave her opinion! Just because it wasn't the answer they wanted to hear they're saying it's controversial. Hilton said later that if she had won he would have gone up on the stage and ripped the crown off her head. Wow what a great impartial judge he is. Way to go Trump you know how to pick them. Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer. I'm sure they only asked the question because they thought the answer would be different and were wanting to push their agenda.. Sorry losers this isn't the Oscars!

Now I have to say...... and I'm sure this will not be well received. I voted to ban gay marriage in November. But it was something I was torn on, and if I had to do it again I just might vote different. I'm just very very pro choice on EVERYTHING accept of course abortion. But to me that's a life not a choice so it shouldn't count as one. I think we should have the right to chose how we live our life. And I'm so sorry but I know several strait people that have such little respect for their marriages and the institute of marriage that I would rather see committed, loving, respectful gay couples be given the right over these strait people. So it's just a very difficult topic for me.

Now that being said, Miss California was right on! That is how she felt and she said it perfectly. I stand and applaud her. I love that even thought it might not be the best..... she's getting way more attention than she would have if she had just been runner up. Screw you Perez Hilton you are a terrible person and you give the gay community a bad name. Learn to respect others opinions. I respect your choice to live your life they way you want, you should learn to do the same.

Our country isn't ready for gays to marry and that is fine! everyone is entitled to their opinion and right now the opinion of more than half of this country is No on prop 8. If you don't like it please please please feel free to pack up and leave!
I'm so sick of Hollywood forcing their opinions down our throats and using television as a microphone. Then the one time that someone does the same thing it's controversy. I can't wait for California and New York to fall off into the ocean. (after my in-laws are back here safe and sound of course)

I have to live with an illegal douche-bag for president so they can live with this.

go Shasta. If I watched Miss America then I would probably be proud of that girl. Normally the girls that go for Miss America are a bunch of twits that have to pretend that they are perfect all the time. What a crappy life.

I love your blog Shasta because you say it as it is and if people disagree, oh well it is your blog =) But I totally agree with you. The gay rights is a hard issue. I have 2 gay uncle whom I love very much BUT I still think marriage is between and man and a woman. I'm total for letting gay couples have the same rights but if we open up the door to changing the definition of marriage then it will never stop. Also yes it made me SO MAD they asked a question then got mad at her answer. Last time I checked the 1st amendment that is not what it said.
