It seems like the only time anyone gives a crap about beauty pageants anymore is when the contestants make asses of themselves. At tonight’s 2009 Miss U.S.A. pageant, Miss California was alternately booed and cheered when asked how she felt about Vermont’s recent legalization of same-sex marriage.

She has the right to express her opinions on the issue– it’s a sensitive topic influenced by personal religious beliefs. However, by calling heterosexual marriage “opposite marriage” she’s not really doing anything to support her case or make an intelligent argument.

What I find really galling about all this is the fact that Perez Hilton was a judge for the pageant. If there’s anyone who knows how to judge and score class, poise, and beauty, it’s freakin Perez Hilton.

I know I’m going to get all kinds of love from you readers on this, but I feel kind of bad for Miss California. I personally believe that secular same-sex marriage should be legal in every state, but I give her credit for expressing her true beliefs (albeit ineloquently) in the face of pressure. She had the bad luck to draw a question from an asshat, exposure-hungry judge while the other contestants probably got softball questions about how war is bad and we need to feed the hungry kids in “the Africa like such as.”

Regardless of how you feel about Same-Sex marriage, I think that people on both sides of the issue can agree that Perez Hilton is a giant turd.

      It should read that if Perez Hilton is good at anything (at all) it’s making an ass of himself. and that’s not even a contest.

    I think she is very right. So what? We conform the bible to the world; or the world conforms to the bible. I pray she stay strong in her belief and her answer. For surely his reward will be far greater than anything this world or that pageant could ever give her. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

    What booing? I didn’t hear any. I had my volume all the way up and it sounded like even more people cheered for her response, than after the question Perez stated.
