It took centurys for our country to give equality to women and African Americans. This issue with gay marriage is not going to happen overnight. As much as i agree that it should, this is not how our history shows that we work. It could take another century until all states are legalizing gay marriage but it will eventually happen. Never give up on our country because we will soon see whats right and do it. On the issue of Miss California, I agree she wasn't asked if she believed in gay marriage but if it should be legalized. To some people this question cannot be answered without answering if they believe in the issue. If they don't believe in gay marriage then they won't believe in legalizing gay marriage.Jazannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844031807159738788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853943521646318302.post-75248307961038092962009-04-27T12:54:00.000-07:002009-04-27T12:54:00.000-07:00I do feel that Miss California does have her own r...I do feel that Miss California does have her own rights to her opinion. However, she did express her opinion in the wrong manner. To me, Miss USA is a group of beauty pageant woman who are representing each state. So for Miss California, she was really just representing herself, not as her state. Which surprises me cause California is a pretty open state. I think the way people reacted to her statement was harsh. For Perez Hilton to call her names and basically saying shes dumb was kind of unfair. Yes, she said something that was very opinionated, but it does not make her dumb. Everyone has their right to their opinions whether they express them at the right time or the wrong time. For Miss California she may have thought she was expressing how she felt at the right time, but the way people reacted it made it seem like the wrong time. Which is true,she did not answer the question in the right way.Julianne Godboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219485898576335552noreply@blogger.com
