I commend Miss CA for standing up for her beliefs. Her answer evidently cost her the crown, as she was expected to win. We live in a crazy time when people are calling evil good and good evil. We need more people of influence to speak out about the tragedy of same sex relationships. I like how President Hinckley put it in his book Standing For Something;
"It is virtually impossible today to shield ourselves from immoral influences. Our culture is saturated with them. Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography-they all wreak their own brands of spiritual devastation...
"Some of us are fearful of what our peers will say if we adopt such a position. We might be looked on with disdain and criticized if we stand for what is right and promote a moral standard higher than that found among the masses. But the kingdom of God is not a democracy. Wickedness and righteousness are not legislated by majority vote. Right and wrong are not determined by polls or pundits, though many would have us believe otherwise. Evil never was happiness. Happiness lies in the power and the love and the sweet simplicity of virtue."
May God bless our country for those who are seeking to uphold all that is good and right.

I totally agree with you. She was on the Today show and said she doesn't regret her answer at all. She said she knew she wouldn't win because of it right after she said it. We need more people like her in the world. (Why was Perez Hilton a judge in the first place?)
Amen and Amen. Has anyone heard what her "religious affiliation" is?
Judging by her dress, I would say she is not LDS. But I don't know for sure.
