I def. think that cost her the crown. "no offense to anyone out there!" uhhh yea. And according to her "we live in a country where people can choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage.." uhhh no we don't? It's illegal in 46 states

Supposedly Miss California was ahead in total points before she got that question.

She's an idiot for giving an opinion either way. It doesn't matter what her actual answer was (i.e. whether she was pro or anti gay marriage). If she can't effectively answer that type of question without making such a polarizing statement then she doesn't deserve to be Miss USA. You can't just say "no offense!" and pretend no one noticed that you just alienated a good chunk of the viewers.

Agreed. I was actually very surprised that she answered with an opinion because she didn't HAVE to.

And why say it like she did anyway, even if she wanted to work in her personal opinion??? She could have always said "My personal belief is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I don't think the government should be legislating based on personal beliefs." Or something like that. Particularly to be from here (CA) and not have an answer for that question in your back pocket??? She's an idiot.
