It is so sad that this is what it is coming down to. I don't know if anybody watched the Miss America Pageant this weekend. I didn't but I did see a story about it on the news. Miss California Carrie Prejean's answer to this question cost her the crown. She wouldn't say that she thinks the rest of the states should make gay marriage legal, and she said that she believed that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Because of THAT, she didn't become Miss America. While I'm not necessarily a big pageant fan, I know that it was very important to her.
This makes me so angry!! There is no way that they would NOT give the crown to someone because she WAS gay...That would be discrimination. But to not give someone the crown because she believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman, THAT'S FINE?! In our world of double standards I guess I shouldn't be surprised at what "side" won...but it still makes me mad!
So to Carrie Prejean, I say this: "Congratulations! You stood up for what you believed and suffered because of it. I'm sorry that happened to you, but we are proud of you for not giving in. May God Bless you because of it, and give you much greater things than the Miss America crown."

This is sad, and it is not "fair." But God's Word promises that this kind of evil will happen and persecution will take place. It's time, way past time, for God's people to fall on their faces before a Holy God and repent on behalf of our land, or pray for a quick return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
God forgive us---God help us.
I have much more respect for her because she gave a REAL answer and stood up for what she believed, rather than just giving a "safe" answer. I saw an interview with her, and she seems pretty solid! She took a pretty strong stance on some things. Way to go!
