This article mainly delves into the new crowing at the annual Miss America pageant. Half way down the page, the real controversy lies. Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was asked a question pertaining to the legalization of same-sex marriage. After a few seconds of contemplation, her answer was the following:
"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," Prejean said. "And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
Attendees were livid and almost booed Prejean off the stage. Out lash regarding her answer began shortly after.
Regarding this article, as a citizen of America, Prejean had every right to say what she believed. Although I do not agree, it is a free country. But, as a representative of America she should have been a bit more diplomatic. Instead of bringing her own beliefs into her answer, she should have said something along the lines of "every state should decide for itself". This would have not hindered her beliefs but in turn kept her from entangling herself in an already controversial topic.
