Carrie Prejean, Determined To Prove Perez Hilton Right
Carrie Prejean went to church yesterday and then sat down with Rex Wockner – a LGBT blogger who isn’t Perez Hilton – for an interview that proves her media savvy… and lack of gay friends.
Wockner, whose bio says he’s been reporting for LGBT outlets for 25 years, conducted a long interview with Prejean and, in between her stock answers about being sandbagged by Hilton and belief that marriage is a religious institution meant for a man and a woman, manages to get out the real reason she doesn’t believe in gay marriage:
Rex: I understand that you were raised to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and I understand that you grew up knowing that you were always going to marry a guy, but you’re heterosexual. Um, some people are born gay, maybe, you think?
Carrie: No, I don’t think so.
Rex: OK, so now we’re getting somewhere.
Carrie: I think it’s a behavior that develops over time.
Rex: Why would someone choose it, given that if you choose that, you get discriminated against?
Carrie: Um, because obviously Perez Hilton doesn’t think that there’s anything wrong with it.
Rex: No, but if being gay is a choice, rather than something you’re born with, why would you choose something that’s going to lead to your being discriminated against? What would be the motivation?
Carrie: I’m not sure what the motivation would be.
That “behavior” is not loving someone of the same sex, or being attracted to people of the same sex; Prejean is strictly talking about sexual acts. In Prejean’s apparently very limited mind, if you just randomly decide that you love discrimination and have no moral compass, you can train yourself to engage in and (one assumes) eventually even enjoy sex acts with people of the same sex, and thus you are a homosexual.
