Miss California May 11, 2009

I have tried really, really, extremely hard not to touch this subject, but I guess I am finally going there.  For those that live under a rock don’t know, our latest Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been involved in quite a few scandals.

First there was her answer, during the pageant, about gay marriage.

Obviously not an answer I like. I don’t understand why she says she is happy that people can choose between same or “opposite” marriages but then says that in her country marriage should be between a man and a woman. No sense, but whatever. She ended up getting second place…. hooray, yay, and all that. What is even better though, is all the craziness that has happened since the pageant ended.

It came out that the Miss California pageant people bought her a boob job! Yep. Shame on her for messing with that beautiful body that God gave her and shame on them for making it happen. Like little girls everywhere don’t have enough fake boobs in their faces.

She is in the middle of a HUGE fight with Perez Hilton. I’m mean BIG!! He called her a dumb bitch and a cunt! I see why he is mad, but I honestly feel sorry for her. She has a weird history with homophobia and is obviously not very intelligent. Check out her interview with Greta Van Sustren-

She obviously has no idea what a civil union even is! And now she has joined up with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) to become their pretty face. Oh, and voice… I guess she recorded a message that will call you asking for donations and to sign petitions. In case you were wondering, the Special Olympics was the cause she talked about during the pageants and seems to have forgotten all about it.

And, I saved the best for last… nude photos! Well, semi-nude anyway. She says-

“I am a Christian, and I am a model.  Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”

I like her answers a lot better when she lets her PR people take care of them! We still aren’t buying it though. In case you are wondering Carrie, THESE photos are perfectly acceptable examples of modeling. THESE ARE NOT! I find it more disturbing if she really was underage at the time, however, one of her pageant sponsors confirms that the pictures were taken much more recently and well after she turned 18…. and after she got the boob job!!

Miss California officials have decided to push her to the side to let Donald Trump deal with. Instead, Tami Farrell… Miss Malibu, will handle all the official California pageant duties.

Drama Drama Drama…. but isn’t that normal for the pageant world? Thought I’d leave you with something a little nicer from some beauty queens that are way cooler-

Prop 8 Revisited March 9, 2009

I didn’t know if I should bring this up after the fight I got into last November, but I really can’t help myself. The California Supreme Court met last week to discuss Prop 8, and it’s not looking too good. I hate that people think two consenting adults cannot marry just because they are the same sex. When you take away that nice  “definition of marriage” excuse, you see Prop 8 for what it truly is, hatred and bigotry.

Love is love, no matter what genders are involved. I found a web site called 13 Love Stories. It is the moving stories of 13 different same sex couples.  I really recommend checking out the site, but I also wanted to post a few of my favorite stories for everyone to watch.

Leona & Grace

Tom & Davidson

I don’t see any reason why these couples and others like them should not marry. If you’ve got one, I’d love to hear it.

Side Note: I am extremely disappointed with how the No on 8 campaign was run.  It turns out a letter from Obama was kept almost secret.  In the letter Obama says:

And that is why I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states.

Who knows what the outcome would have been if this letter had been made public, but I’m sure it wouldn’t have hurt!

Admirals, generals: Let gays serve openly November 20, 2008

Yesterday over a hundred retired admirals and generals called for an end to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT throughout this post) policy implemented by the United States Military.

DADT was Clinton’s attempt at equality for gays in the military— before this policy they were banned completely.  It is estimated that there are over a million gay and lesbian veterans and about 65,000 actively serving. DADT is flawed though because it is not fair to ask someone to hide who they are.  They can’t marry or civil uniony (LOL) their partners or be open about their relationship. Between 1994 and 2007 the military discharged roughly 12,340 people for violating DADT.

Obama has said that he wants to get rid of DADT, but he is scared to do it without the support of the military.  Hopefully he will be able to work with the leaders and throw this policy out… it really isn’t fair to ask some people to hide who they are & who they love but not other people. Plus, don’t we want all the volunteers we can get for our military?? I sure would hate to start a draft!!

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong October 27, 2008

UPDATE: I think I found where this came from!! Gator Gay Straight Alliance take credit here.

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

1) Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicone breasts.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
People may even wish to marry their pets, because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Blow-up dolls are next, then pencils.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all.
That’s why women are still property, interracial marriages are forbidden, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.
And we can’t let the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
Therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry. It’s not like our population isn’t out of control and our orphanages aren’t full– the world REALLY needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
You know, because straight parents ONLY raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
And in a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country.
(Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays?)

9) Children cannot succeed without a male and female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven‘t adapted to cars, longer life spans, or Bush.

OK, I did not write this, but I did change a few things to make it better!! I LOVE whoever did write it though…. they rock!

VOTE NO ON PROP 8!!!!!
