I want to hurt everyone who somehow thinks "marriage" is only a sacrament. Sorry, assholes, if you don't want gays getting married in your Church, great. Why the fuck don't they come out against heteros married by judges or other non-religious officials?
Am I missing something? Why exactly can they still claim "marriage" as something that belongs to them, exclusively?
@Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Seconded. She's as boring and stupid as every other cretin who makes themselves famous by being pretty (or plastic...Speidi?) on the outside, REALLY stupid on the inside, but all I can think when I see her (or Sarah Palin) is, "Fuck off, little girl. Go away, go away, go away." #carrieprejean
"I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."
whoa whoa whoa, miss prejean back the truck up. legally recognized sacrament? sacrament = church, legal = state. never the twain shall meet. theres that pesky little thing called the first amendment of the us constitution.
although i agree with the second part of her statement (i cant believe i just wrote that). obama has a virtually identical position on gay marriage. just because he doesn't sound the moral panic alarm or scream at the hysterical pitch of miss prejean, he has no intention of repealing doma in the near future and has defended marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution. its not so simple as a red state/blue state division. there are plenty of anti-gay rights democrats. #carrieprejean
@mordicai: Also, marriage is only a sacrament for Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Perhaps Prejean is Catholic, but she has been speaking at mainly fundamentalist Christian churches. It would be really disappointing if, in addition to being being bigoted, she was basing her beliefs on mistaken interpretation of Church doctrine. #carrieprejean
@KATE!: Thanks for saying this. She might be much stupider than Obama, but they do have pretty much the same stance on gay marriage and of the two of them, he's the one who actually has the power to make some changes. So, you know, all the outrage at her saying they have the same position is kind of ridick. #carrieprejean
Carrie Prejean is just like Barack Obama, except Barack Obama doesn't have fake tits or a masturbation tape. And he doesn't refuse to show up for work and get fired for sucking. #carrieprejean
@morninggloria: That you know of....I doubt he does, but as my physic teacher in HS was fond of saying "the absence of proof is not proof of absence". #carrieprejean
@whats_in_a_name: See Glenn Beck and how he raped and murdered that poor girl back in 1990. Why won't he show the evidence that proves his innocence?! #carrieprejean
@mfnher: You're using the fictional raping of a young girl as political fun? That's fucked up. Rape isn't generic violence like drunk driving or murder. It's gender violence, overwhelmingly misogynistic.
There are a slew of ways to go after Glen Beck without pushing the tired idea that it's fine to push misogynistic violence as entertainment or to score cheap points. It just trivializes it. #carrieprejean
Obama's bigotry doesn't make your bigotry okay, Carrie. As my mom is fond of saying, "We're not talking about him; we're talking about you." #carrieprejean
@curiousgeorgiana: By her logic, you can call her a bigot as long as you acknowledge that he is too.
Basically, she's calling progressives out for giving him a pass, even as they hate her for having the same belief about what the legal definition of marriage should be.
@Hana Maru: Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with her (or you apparently). Obama's policy approach to gay rights is appalling, and he's got a very limited time before I stop waiting on him to rise above.
I was agreeing with wtfox?! that she can't deflect her own bigotry just by saying the president agrees with her. That just means they're both bigots. #carrieprejean
I'm interested that apparently Trump agrees that there are less attractive Miss USA contestants. Isn't "outrageously attractive" kind of a universal attribute among those women? #carrieprejean
@yvanehtnioj: You mean pageant contestants are judged on their looks? Did I stick my finger in a light socket? Because I'm literally shocked. #carrieprejean
@CherriSpryte: Well sure, but this is Trump we're talking about here. Excessive makeup, hair dye, surgical alterations and all that other baggage seems to be his cuppa. #carrieprejean
"Oh, KK. I'm so over the Red Carpet being pregnant too! I mean, is it in it's eighteenth trimester or something? The thing has been preggers forevs! Like, WTF and junk. I wonder if when it gives birth, the baby will be an Oriental Throw Rug? Cuz I totes need one for my liberry at the 'Bu Beach House. L8TRS!" #beyoncebabyplans
I wonder if I can make a plea to Jamie and Martin to PLEASE. NOT. DO. THIS. I'm truly weary of the massacre on the black female image by black men. It's so very old. And it's so very painful. #beyoncebabyplans
At first I was like, Ian McKellen, what? Not that comparisons to homophobia and antisemitism are necessarily wrong, but it does seem odd that he's comparing a lack of gay bars outside London to the Holocaust.
Then I remembered that he is not just Gandalf, but also Magneto, and therefore had to get into the mind of a character who would have been a Jew in central Europe in a certain period. So he may be talking about that. Because then it's like "Being gay is kind of like being a Jew in the early 20th century. And both of those things are also like being a mutant with superpowers." And that makes sense to me. #beyoncebabyplans
It's early for me, and so perhaps my math is off, but if Jesus' mother (I can't get over writing that) is 36 and he's 23, she had him when she was thirteen years old. #beyoncebabyplans
The thing that weirds me out about the Madonna thing is that somebody called MADONNA is dating somebody called JESUS. And the age difference doesn't help, as far as that goes. #beyoncebabyplans
@FizzyGood: Indeed there is something frightfully Oedipal about that.
I hope she embraces the incredible camp potential and makes a whole concept album about her boytoy saving her from her sins or something. My desire to see this come to fruition proves that I will only continue being interested in Madonna if she basically becomes Bette Midler. Which--admit it---would be way more awesome than her current incarnation. #beyoncebabyplans

Of course, I kid. It would have been so easy for me to not read it. It was just too tempting! #carrieprejean
