Most years the Miss America Beauty Pageant comes and goes and little is made over who even wins, which happend again this year. The story this year of course if you haven't heard was the controversy sparked by runner-up Carrie Prejean from California.
Prejean was asked by judge Perez Hilton if every state should legalize same sex-marriage and Prejean responded with a surprising politically incorrect response that really ruffled Hilton's feathers in a later blogged video.
Prejean stated "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
As I was wittnessing what she said, I felt an overwhelming since of pride that finally someone stood up for what most believe in this country. She was simply answering what was asked and she answered truthfully instead of giving that minority opinion shared by few in this country, she remembered how her parents raised her and expressed herself much to the begrudge of Hilton.
It is my hope that God has instilled in Carrie, the guts to finally step up and let everyone know that the Christians in this country are tired of all the crap that we have taken from the minorites that have taken away prayer in schools, and the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Christians must take initiative and be willing to show their colors to others and be a wittness to those who have doubted Christ or who just don't know Him. The Lord is trying to tell us something, I just hope that we are all listening.
It is nice to see someone not be politically correct in an answer that asked for her "opinion" not what he wanted to hear. No one else was asked their opinion. I hope that people take notice to what she has done and follow suit.
