Miss California says Perez Hilton ‘needs Jesus’

Miss California Carrie Prejean, very hot and fairly conservative, has been catching a lot of flack the past week for comments about gay marriage that she made during the Miss USA pageant.

“I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman,” Prejean said the live broadcast. “No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

Plenty of people did take offense, none more important than the judge who asked the question: celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who is gay and called her a bitch after she answered honestly.

Prejean later claimed that one question cost her the crown. Controversy followed. And the battle between the blogger and the beauty queen shaped up into “the week’s biggest non-story,” according to Meghan Daum.

It hadn’t really died, but on Sunday the non-story was resurrected when Prejean shared her story at her church in San Diego, The Rock, a megachurch led by former Charger Miles McPherson:

“I don’t take back what I said. No way I wasn’t going to stand up for what I believe in,” she said, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.

“This is how I was brought up to believe,” she told the congregation. “We have to be strong and true to our faith and our beliefs.”

Asked by Pastor McPherson what she would say to Hilton if he were there right now, she answered: “I’d tell him he needs Jesus.”

Footage of her answer from the pageant is after the jump:

This is, without a doubt, one of the dumbest stories that has made the news recently.  I am a Christian who believes that the Bible condemns homosexuality but I also voted No on Prop 8 in California because I believe that banning gay marriage strips a certain section of the population of their fundamental human rights.  Although I find merit in the arguments on the both sides of this specific controversy, I don’t think Perez should have been allowed to use the pageant as his personal forum nor do I think Miss CA’s answer was bad or offensive.  Please let this story die.  Please.

This is without a doubt one of the stories that has made the new but I think an even better story was the anger and name calling Mr. Perez resorted to after Miss CA gave her answer.  What is scary is here is a man who makes his living on gossip why was he even a judge???  Instead of exhibiting tolerance, he resorted to anger because someone dared to publcially disagreed with his beliefs.  Mr. Perez ranted about her “stupid” answer but I am confident many would agree that it was a stupid question.

Maybe Miss California should have answered the way Miss South Carolina Teen USA answered the following:

Q: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?

A: I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our [children].


This incoherent answer was followed by hearty applause from the studio audience.  What does that tell you about our expectations for beautiful women and their intellects?
