Miss USA Pageant 2009

which contestestant said that marriage should be between a Man & a Woman? I thought that took a lot of guts to say. I know Perez Hilton asked the question, so I wonder if he gave her less points for it (if it is even allowed).

Miss California.

I suspect he did give her fewer points. They cut to him right after her answer and he was shaking his head.

As for the political questions... I think asking questions to demonstrate their knowledge of current events is great. However asking questions on where they fall on the political divide of very hot topics (such as gay marriage) is not really appropriate. It creates no-win situations.

Miss Virginia dates one of my friends from college, and they both currently live in Charlotte. She was an AOPi at George Mason, but transferred to UNC Charlotte when she moved here.

I know an AOII alum from GMU. She graduated in 2006.

But as to the questions: do you all really think that politically loaded questions should be asked? The Miss USA pagaent hasn't been known for anything but beauty for quite a long time.

I thought she had a real shot at it, I was surprised when she didn't make the top 5.

Proud of Miss NC though! I wonder if she's in a sorority at ECU. She just struck me as the stereotypical sorority type.

Being that I have lived in both NC and AZ I was pulling for both...but my home is here in NC so I'm so happy she won!!!

AZ's dress though...didn't look like it really fit her on her top half. Texas's dress looked like Texas/Miss USA 2008's dress from last year.

AR's dress...ok those two colors (red and hot pink) do not go together and it looked like a genie outfit.

Anyone else think that CA looked almost like she could be Gretchen's twin from the real housewives of orange county???

Actually, the question they asked her did not ask whether or not she personally believed in gay marriage. If she had focused on answering the question she was asked she would have not had to reveal her personal opinion in any way. What a shame.
