Thank You for Fighting for the Sanctity of Marriage

I don't know if any of you are pageant watchers, but I must just give major props to Carrie Prejean, Miss California. During the Miss USA pageant tonight when asked whether all states should legalize gay marriage, she said that she believes marriage is between a man and a woman. This, she stated, was how she was raised and how she thinks the country still believes. GO MISS CALIFORNIA!!! How brave and impressive. The judge who asked her was visibly irritated and disappointed with her answer. I say, she is an awesome example of standing up for what is right.

Oh, I have it on DVR and I can't wait to watch it. Usually I will save special events like that to watch while I try and work my bootie off on the treadmill! I love that she stood for what she believed. You would ususally see the oppisite and find the answer that might put a smile on the judges faces. Go Miss Cali!~

I have heard LOTS about this! I think it's great that she didn't give in to pressure just so that she could win the crown. It shows her integrity. I've seen a bunch of people who think she is "ignorant" for believing what she does. Especially the judge who asked her the question! Talk about ignorant! Let her have her own opinion!

I didn't watch the pageant but I heard about it on the news. I am totally impressed with her too - it is so nice to hear somebody stand up for what they believe in especially on a public stage. Did you think she should have won?

Your daughter is beautiful - it was fun to catch up on your blog.
