Freedom of Speech...only if you agree with us!

When I was scanning the news websites this morning I saw the headlines about Miss California. During the contest a celebrity judge, Perez Hilton, asked her, "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"

She answered, "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."

Now it definitely could have been worded better but I admire her for saying it. The Perez lashed out on his web site calling her names and so on. I saw all the comments and I decided to read them even though I am not sure why. I was surprised to see that the majority of the comments were in support of Miss California. They were in support of her right to have her own opinion and the freedom to express that opinion. Shocker! What an old fashioned idea! Once again there are those people out there screaming day and night for tolerance when they have no intention having the same respect for anyone who doesn't believe like they do. Good for you Miss California!

PS Miss North Carolina won! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
