Carrie Prejean Today Show Video Interview
Miss California and Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean spoke with Matt Lauer on The Today Show and Carrie Prejean says that she is a proud Christian who opposes gay marriage because she's following what the bible says. She also said that she would answer the question the same way if she had to do it all over again.
Perez Hilton also weighs in before Carrie speaks to Matt Lauer. Carrie spoke from her heart and the damage has already been done. I'm not so sure what she should do now?

I am so sick of all the bible thumpers saying it is okay to hate the gays and oppose their civil rights because of the bible. BULLSHIT...you can reread the same passages they refer to and it is more of a historical content than actual men and men lovin. So ridic..oh well..I guess they will find out that is not okay to be a hatemonger in the name of someone who was not into ANY kind of hate. I am so happy this idiot lost. Her opinion is fine by me but I don't want this TWAT speaking on my behalf ever!!

I think she made the right decision, regardless of whether anyone else agrees with her. It is more important to stay true to your beliefs than to sell out because you are afraid of what other people will think. No crown is worth losing your self respect. Disagreeing with someone is not the same as hating them.

To take away someone's basic rights because you disagree or are fearful of them is the exact same has hating them. Go through history and you will see how equal they are...DISGUSTING...this is the 21st century lets focus on other things other making other people feel less because you don't "believe" in what they do. Hate is hate! Fair is fair...

I am so proud of Miss California! She is a true woman!! as for the judge - look whos calling the kettle black! gays are now using discrimination & bullying against Christians &other faiths who disagree with them, to get their way, to push their agenda. I'm sure that if a straight judge had asked a gay contestant if she believed marriage is between 1 man & 1woman and then disqualified her from the crown for her answer there would have been an uproar among the gays & the hollywood types who support them. California voted AGAINST gay marriage, the people have spoken and Miss California is one of those people. If you dont believe in something YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!!! YOU GO GIRL!

Contrary to what Mr. Gyllenhaal say, Jesus says in the Bible that marriage should be between a man and a woman, it's not about hate it is about doing GOD's word, and god has different laws then man, no matter what we may think should be ok, Jesus thought you don't hate the person you hate the sin, and that means that Carrie Prejean doesn't hate Gays she just doesn't like the sin in which Gay Marriage promotes.

But don't actions speak louder than words? If you hate what someone is doing, aka the CHOICES they make, wouldn't that mean you are hating who they are and what they believe in? Personally I think Love is Love, and if you love someone who is the same sex as you, that's fine. I'm straite, but I'm not going to let that, or anything else go to my head, and let me discriminate others.

Folks, the reason God hates sin (homosexual or heterosexual) is not because He hates people or doesn't want us to have fun, but because it brings destuction into our lives. God loves us so much that He hates anything that will destroy us. However, He will always respect our right to choose. He wants us to choose Him and not sin. And yes, it is a choice. Whether you are involved in homosexual sin or heterosexual sin, if you dig deep enough you will find that you were effected by something directly or indirectly that has had a major impact on your behavior. But there is deliverance in Jesus Christ for everyone. As a Christian, to love someone is to tell them the truth whether it feels good or not. That's what Jesus did, and that's what Carrie Prejean did when the gentleman asked her the question. I don't always like to hear the truth myself, but the truth will make you free!

Listen to what Perez says VERY CAREFULLY. He wasn't disgusted with her view, he was disgusted with the WAY she answered the question. "In MY COUNTRY...." what the hell is that? This isn't her country anymore than it is Perez's, yours or mine. She couldn't have been more polarizing than that. Saying "no offence" is no excuse to say whatever you want and get away with it. If she really meant "no offence," she should have showed a little more consideration for the hundreds of thousands of homosexuals in America by acknowledging that she can see where they are coming from, but...(insert whatever religiously biased view she wants). But to launch off with "in my country..." She is supposed to represent AMERICA, not the bible belt, and part of that representation is showing at least some consideration for its diversity in sex, and opinion, otherwise she is a poor representative of what the USA is.

It seems Perez is being much more hateful than Miss California. He even calls her names. How is it that conservative Christians are always accused of being hateful and intollerant when everyone else is so hateful and intollerant of us? Miss California didn't say anything hateful and didn't express hate for gays. She simply said what she believes in. And scripture clearly says homosexuality is sin, there is no gray area when it comes to this. And no, hating sin is not the same as hating the person. God loves us all, but hates our sin and Jesus taught us to do the same. I'm so proud of Miss California for not compromising for an earthly crown. Her reward will be great in heaven.

Perez Hilton is a phony useless hate monger. The question was not relevant to anything except his beliefs or desires. I have many gay friends who were also disgusted with him. He is a person that brings hate in the scenario purposely for his self promoting blug. Where did anyone dig this slug up and think he could judge anything on the merits it should be judged on?
