I personally do not agree with Miss California's beliefs, but she did try to state them in a respectful way, and is entitled to her opinion. While I am deeply saddened that we live in a country that has managed to overcome discrimination of race and gender, but still cannot accept homosexuals, I do not believe it is right to ridicule someone for their beliefs. If we are advocates for accepting everyone, then we must accept those with different opinions than us! We do not have to agree, but ACCEPT, and debate with respect, dignity and kindness. I truly believe that Miss California meant no offense to anyone, and would never treat a homosexual with disrespect or cruelty. Also notice, that she did say she thinks is is great that we are allowed to "choose". So....my hope is that like many people today, her opinions slowly changing! Being the daughter of a Lutheran minister, I completely understand being brought up in a household that is against gay marriage. I am proud to say that my experiences with gay friends, and my overall worldview (along with the views of my family!) have changed to be more accepting. At least Miss California was honest with the judges and didn't hide who she was. Again, I don't agree with her answer, but what she did took guts, and she was true to herself. She managed to be honest while also trying her best to be kind, she does NOT deserved to be attacked for that! In the spirit of stating our opinions respectfully, I would like to close with this thought: Whether or not your religious or personal views support gay marriage, remember that homosexuals are fellow human beings. Denying them the right to a civil union prevents them from attaining legal rights and benefits that ever American has the right to, no matter what their sexual orientation! Well said, Liz.

I don't agree with your statement that being in California one should keep an open mind. I for one do not believe in Gay Marriage born and raised in Ca for 31 years. I feel it's a personal choice to an alternate lifestyle to each its own I cannot and will not believe other wise. I feel she answered the question quite well just as angry as the judge who asked her was about her answer she has a right to answer the way she did. Weather or not you agreed with her answer I think she was quite poised in her answer. That's JMO Hello i agree with some of what you said.

Miss USA, or any title holder, needs to be articulate and a good role model. You don't have to compromise your values, but you can have tack.
