Perez Hilton can kiss my...

I'm getting very tired of the controversy surrounding Miss California's performance at the recent Miss USA pageant.  First off, I didn't watch the show because I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, owner of the pageant.  Then psuedo celebrity Perez Hilton grabbed his share of the spotlight when he asked Miss California her opinion of gay marriage.  Nothing like dropping the poor woman into the middle of a mine field!

Carrie Prejean, who's otherwise known as Miss California USA is off on a promotional tour right now, promoting a newly formed group, the National Organization for Marriage.  She made an appearance with Matt Lauer on NBC-TV's The Today Show and I'm sure she's been booked for many other such appearances.  

In case you don't know who Perez Hilton is by now, he's an online gossip columnist who dishes the latest dirt on the hip and famous of Hollywood.  He also happens to be very much out of the closet.  

Now Perez, I believe you were made the way you are, so I'm not going to suggest you change your wicked ways.  But if you ask someone their opinion, you have a 50 - 50 chance they're going to disagree with you, so why are you so shocked?  

And to the California pageant officials who are criticizing Miss Prejean for using her pageant title to promote her religious and political views.  It was the pageant, in the form of Mr. Hilton, who opened the door wide for her to take center stage when he asked the question.  If you don't want your pageant winners to have strong opinions, then don't ask them questions that require an answer that's liable to piss off sizable portion of the audience.

There's gay bashing and there's Christian bashing going on out there and it needs to stop.  I've said this before, but I think it bears repeating.  If Jesus Christ came back to Earth today, judging from what was written in the Bible, I'd be willing to bet that he'd go after the Wall Street & corporate big big shot types before he went after the gay population.  Remember, Christ sat down and ate with the fallen women and sinners and he chased the money changers out of the Temple.
