Miss California Carrie Prejean Speaks About This Topless Scandal

So here is the photo of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, posing topless from the back that has been spread all over the internet and caused a lot of scandal.

Apparently there is more, and even more revealing, photos that should be leaking over the next couple of days. The bible thumping Prejean who by now we all know is opposed to gay marriage has also released a statement about these photos:

On April 19, I chose to answer a question during the 2009 Miss USA pageant in an honest and personal manner that expressed my views of the long-established definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. That answer, and my commitment to stand by my beliefs, has since resulted in attacks on me and my integrity as a woman. We live in a great country; a nation that was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Yet my comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street.

I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others’ opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks.

With that in mind, I will continue to support and defend marriage as the honorable institution it is. I will continue to stand with the overwhelming majority of the American people and the voters of my home state of California. If this whole experience has taught me anything, it is our precious right to speak freely, and how we as Americans can never allow anyone or any group to intimidate or threaten us to keep silent.”

The distaste I feel for Carrie Prejean isn’t even funny, I wonder what jesus would say about this one. I haven’t seen Fox News talk about this yet, they probably won’t because they have been so far up her ass after the Miss USA Pageant.

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, Opposes Gay Marriage

Miss California, Carrie Prejean was asked by Perez Hilton at the 2009 Miss USA Pageant, whether or not she believed in gay marriage, her answer was less than thrilling for the judges.

In response to his question, she said, “We live in a land where you can choose same sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”


Keith Lewis, the man that runs the Miss California competition, said, “As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit. I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family.”

Co-director of the pageant and 1995 Miss USA, Shanna Moakler, said that she fully supported Lewis’ statement.

Prejean won first runner up in the pageant. Do you think she deserved it? Or should she have won the crown?

What do you think of her answer? Controversial, or just honest?
