Gays, Queers, Homosexuals
I do not condone the “gay lifestyle”, and in doing so, it makes me no more a “gay basher” than I am an “adultery basher”, “kidnapper basher” or a “murderer basher”. If you disagree, your argument is not with me, take it to the highest court – your argument is with God.
However, this will probably qualify me as a “basher” – I hate pro gay people trying to shove their lifestyles down my families throat through the media.
Anyway, before I hurt someones feelings on here – this is the article that fired me up. Again.
Gay marriage row at Miss USA showThe runner-up at the Miss USA beauty pageant says her outspoken opposition to gay marriage cost her first place in the competition.
During the televised event, Carrie Prejean – Miss California – said she believed that “a marriage should be between a man and a woman”.
She had been asked for her views on the subject by one of the judges, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
“It did cost me my crown,” said Ms Prejean, after the competition.
The eventual winner of the pageant was Kristen Dalton, Miss North Carolina.
‘Alienated’
“We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage,” said Ms Prejean, in a section of the show that has become a popular clip on YouTube.
“I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman,” she continued.
“No offence to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”
The remarks drew a mixture of booing and applause from the audience.
Speaking after the show, which was broadcast on Sunday evening in the US, Ms Prejean said: “I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do.”
Hilton said he had been “floored” by Ms Prejean’s answer, which, he said, “alienated millions of gay and lesbian Americans, their families and their supporters”.
He told ABC News: “She lost it because of that question. She was definitely the front-runner before that.”
Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, released a statement condemning Ms Prejean’s comments.
“As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman.”
The issue of same-sex marriage is a flashpoint in American politics.
Four US states now allow gay marriage, but many other states have passed legislation outlawing it.
but what do I know I am just a Jesus follower, or a redneck, or a basher who was raised up with a few morals. Try these: “Sodom and Gommorah” , Gen 19:5-8, Lev 20:13, 1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 1:9-10…
Way to go Carrie Prejean – Miss California! “Love the sheep, rebuck the swine, and shoot the wolves!”
“Four US states now allow gay marriage, but many other states have passed legislation outlawing it.” Well, don’t worry though…we have “Change” in office now. LOL
