Why Miss California Matters

The drama of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is inescapable, and undeniably representative of a very divided California. 

 

The issue of marriage has hit shrieking levels in the state, and dragged a beauty queen into the fray.

 

Long before America started holding Beauty Pageants, it was custom and tradition to choose symbolic kings and queens for May Day and other festivities in ancient Europe, in which beautiful young women symbolized their nation's virtues. The key word besides “beauty” was “virtues.” America started the modern-day beauty pageant, Miss America Pageant, first held in Atlantic City in 1921.

 

The vile, vulgar and cruel, Hollywood papparazzi cretin Perez Hilton, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Perezhiltonorange.jpg who started the attack on Miss California with his politically-charged gay marriage question during the Miss USA competition, is celebrating her ousting: It was just last month when Donald Trump unwisely decided to allow Miss California, Carrie Prejean, to keep her title despite her breaking her contract repeatedly.

Well, the small-minded Prejean finally lost her title and crown today!!!

Yay! Happy dance!

 

Hilton is an aberration of a man, and makes one wonder why an openly gay, flamboyant and vile guy even wants to judge a female beauty contest?

 

The reason that the Miss California issue matters is because her answer to Hilton’s question about gay marriage in America during a Beauty Pageant competition, was not politically correct. Now she is being vilified, assailed, assaulted and her reputation is under siege. Liberals and most of the gay community want her ruined, and they won’t be happy until she has been publicly flogged or burned at the stake.

 

They hysteria surrounding this issue is irrationally emotional. The left is fallaciously fixated on legalizing gay marriage, and because they do not respect the rule of law in America, even the California Supreme Court decision upholding the vote on Proposition 8 is not the final word.

 

So what is?

 

Liberals are so irrational and emotional, that unless they win, the fight is never over. The fight is also never fair with liberals – they use any means to fight their causes (legal or not), attack, invade, infiltrate, and assail good people. They don’t care who they hurt, or how they do it, as evidenced by the brutal and vicious attacks on Carrie Prejean.

 

California is divided down the middle between the two political parties. However, when it comes to really liberal issues such as gay marriage, there is no divide – overwhelmingly Californians have voted to uphold traditional marriage as well as vote down gay marriage.

 

But the left won’t stop – even with California honoring Civil Unions and Domestic Marriages.

 

A California Domestic Marriage affords a same-sex couple most of "the same rights, protections, and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations, and duties under law..." as married spouses: Parenting, adoption, property rights, medical, wrongful death, dissolution and alimony. What’s left out?

 

-Domestic partners must have a common residence This is not a a requirement for marriage license applicants;

-Domestic partners must be 18 or older, whereas minors can be married before the age of 18 with the consent of their parents.

-California permits married couples the option of a confidential marriage, but there is no equivalent institution for domestic partnerships.

-Married partners of state employees are eligible for the CalPERS long-term care insurance plan, domestic partners are not.

 

The real issue however is that most supporters of same-sex marriage also argue that the use of the word marriage itself, constitutes a significant social difference.

 

I agree that the word marriage constitutes significant social difference. Part of the fallacy of the argument for gay marriage is that in a society that rams “diversity” down our throats and forces everyone to be recognized for their differences, why not embrace the “social difference” and diversity of being in a gay marriage?  We know why – because diversity is really code word for  “racism” and “affirmative action” – not about being culturally different and assimilating.

 

And, the real issue is because people like Miss California believe in and prefer traditional marriage. Because traditional marriage supporters find the majority of gay lifestyles, vulgar and immoral and do not understand the same-sex attraction. Consequently, heterosexual parents don’t want their children exposed to information about the gay lifestyle in school because heterosexuals believe that the gay lifestyle is deviant and unnatural. Legalizing gay marriage – calling it “marriage – will never change the beliefs of heterosexual men and women.

 

Ideological beliefs cannot be legislated.

 

That’s why Miss California matters.

California Supremes Uphold The Will of the Voters

The California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8 - finally a constitutional win for citizens and voters.
 
KCRA reports: "The state Supreme Court upheld a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, but also decided that the estimated 18,000 gay couples who tied the knot before the law took effect will stay wed.

 

The 6-1 decision written by Chief Justice Ron George rejected an argument from gay rights activists that the ban revised the California constitution's equal protection clause to such a dramatic degree that it first needed the Legislature's approval.

 

The court said the people have a right, through the ballot box, to change their constitution.

 

"In a sense, petitioners' and the attorney general's complaint is that it is just too easy to amend the California constitution through the initiative process. But it is not a proper function of this court to curtail that process; we are constitutionally bound to uphold it," the ruling said."
 
 
 
 
"After comparing this initiative measure to the many other constitutional changes that have been reviewed and evaluated in numerous prior decisions of this court, we conclude Proposition 8 constitutes a constitutional amendment rather than a constitutional revision," the ruling said.
