OK, so here is my take on the whole Perez Hilton, Miss California, Miss USA Pageant controversy: Who give a fly f…k?
If you ask a person a question, expect an answer. Whether you like it or not it is her opinion, and freedom of speech is what makes this a great country. Sure the woman is a dumb blonde (not all blonde’s are dumb, but she fits the stereotype).
Video blogger illdoc said it best.
She was reared to look at religious marriage as a legal marriage, but so have most of the religious nuts out there. The problem with badgering a woman who decides to be honest about where she stands on issues is that we have not changed her opinion.
Not a good attitude Perez. Everyone does not have to agree with you.
See, we can’t continue to conform ourselves with tolerance for our rights. If things are to change we need acceptance. And, for that, we need dialogue, not stooping to the levels of ignorance. When we meet a dumb person, who may not understand anything more than what they are taught zealot church, we need to take the time to educate them on the issues, not blast them with insults.
