I don't know how you seem to think that he was asking for her opinion on gay marriage.

Take the crown away from her already and let's be done with her!

And that's not asking her for HER opinion on the issue???

No it's not. You can have an opinion on an issue that varies from the law. it happens with politicians all the time. It can happen with beauty queens too.

There is no real law on this issue so yes, it is her opinion.

I think if Perez wanted to know her opinion on the issue, he would have asked for it. In the above question, I don't think he did.

So if he wasn't asking for her opinion, then what was he asking for?

He did not ask for her opinion on same sex marriage.

Even a retard could follow.

Don't you think her personal opinion is going to come into play if he asks her what she THINKS? If she is personally against same sex marriage would she feel that other states should follow?

For the love of god.....NO!!!!

People can have one opinion but see the law as something different. And quite frankly going around in circles with you on this is just absurd. Your question has been answered like six times over by now. I used to compete in pageants. You are taught NOT to answer with your opinion. Several examples have been given in this thread of exactly what her answer should have been. End. Of. Discussion.

No, my question hasn't been answered. You and OTW are just typing absolute nonsense. She was asked for her opinion plain and simple. There is no LAW saying that same-sex marriage should be legalized in the remaining states. And if someone asks you what you THINK about a matter, they are asking for your OPINION.

It is quite possible to answer that question without ever stating one's personal opinion on gay marriage, and that is the distinction others are properly making and you are missing. For example:

Well, Perez, I think that the genius of our federal system is that it allows each state to make up its own mind about these things. As Justice Brandeis said, there must be power in the states to remould, through experimentation, our institutions to meet changing social needs, and that one of the "happy incidents" of our federal system that a single state may, if its citizens so choose, serve as a laboratory and try new things without risk to the rest of the country. So I trust the citizens of each state to decide for themselves what course to follow, and I trust that the decisions already made in Vermont and elsewhere -- and the experiences that result from those decisions -- can assist the remaining states in deciding for themselves.

Perfect answer!

See above. And don't say that people are typing nonsense. For the millionth time someone gives an example of the answer you give to a question like that. If this latest example doesn't show you how she wasn't being asked her opinion then nothing will.

TMZ reports that Photo #2 has hit the web on thedirty.com. Carrie told pageant officials that the photo that hit the internets earlier this week was the "only" one she took and there were no other photos.
