Well as long as it's really important...

So, unless you live in a world devoid of pop-culture (in which case I envy you) you've heard about Miss California, Carrie Prejean. During the Miss USA or Miss America or Miss Future Bang Box for Donald Trump (I don't recall which) Prejean was asked by judge, and tabloid blogger, Perez Hilton what she thought about gay marriage. This inspired a 10 minute long series of long winded explanations that basically stated, "I'm not for it". It's a fair question. This woman is supposed to be "Miss America" and represent our country and a lot of folks in our country are gay and probably don't want to be represented by someone who thinks they're less than human.

Understandably, she didn't win (who the fuck do you think watches beatuy pagents? Single dudes hanging out in bars? No, it's old bitter women who just pick appart the contestants and old queens, who do the same thing). That's the story, right? NO! It was just getting started. Christains claim she was chastized for having moral views, and the media (some say the liberal media) seemed to go on an all out witch hunt for this woman. Pictures of her in questionable outfits were posted, her family history revealed and Republican masturbator fodder Ann Coulter posted this letter, which in more than one place comes off as a little...well, gay.

In all of this people seem to be forgetting that this is over a god damn beauty pageant entry. She isn't deciding public policy, she's not going to teach your children and now she's not even going to represent America as the Donald Trump approved beauty queen. Everyone needs to get over this. To her supporters, she was going for a title that basically only means anything to dead inside middle America housewives, which is why she got as far as she did with the "no gay marriage" thing as she did (it's also why I'd imagine a good amount of politicians feel the same way, a small group of stupid but dedicated voters goes a long way, look at the NRA). To her critics, she didn't win. And even if she did, would we be any worse for the wear? Leave this girl alone, criticizing her only draws a more dedicated base of nuts, remember the unknown Alaskan Governor of '08?
