Perez Hilton is an idiot!
I have to comment on the recent news story about the Miss USA pageant. One of the judges was famous blogger Perez Hilton, who became famous ragging on other famous people. He asked one of the contestants about Gay Marriage and her response infuriated him.
Here’s the full news story (click)
I’m sick of the intolerance of those preaching tolerance!
We are told over and over again by the gay rights movement that we need to be open-minded and accepting of other viewpoints. But really what they mean is that you have to be accepting of THEIR viewpoints! In fact, if you simply share the opinion that gay marriage shouldn’t be legal, than you’re a BIGOT, a FOOL, and probably lots of other choice words.
Perez Hilton blasted the contestant on his own blog saying that she didn’t lose because she is anti-gay-marriage, she lost because she is a “dumb B**CH” (direct quote). You see, you MUST be tolerant of their viewpoint, but it’s simply not allowed to share an alternate opinion.
But it gets even worse. Perez Hilton then appears on the Today show on tuesday and said his question was relevant and that Prejean should have “left her politics and her religion out because Miss USA represents all Americans.”
Come on! Leave out the politics and religion? Then why did you ask such a politically charged question? (hidden agendas, perhaps?) Aren’t politics and religion woven into the very fiber of America? For goodness sakes, the stereotype of beauty pageant contestants is “dumb bimbo” but if they answer difficult questions they’re told they shouldn’t go there!
And religion? I didn’t hear her talking about religion? Prejean shared her personal opinion and stuck by her own morals. That should be applauded, especially in a situation where many people might pick “winning” over their personal morality.
Where’s the tolerance? Why the angry responses from Perez and the accusations that Prejean should’ve left her “religious” views out of the contest? If this contest is to symbolize America, then Mr. Perez Hilton better wake up and realize that even in Miss California’s home state the gay-marriage bill was struck down by a majority of 70%! I’m surprised she isn’t also being accused of pandering to the majority… for goodness sake.
Perez Hilton is free to his viewpoint, that’s the great joy of living in America. But he needs to start respecting the rights of others to have their own viewpoint, too! Right or wrong isn’t the issue… the issue is that Carrie Prejean should be celebrated for standing up for her morals and speaking her mind IN SPITE of knowing there would likely be consequences. THAT’S exactly the type of leadership we need more of in America today.

Right on, David! I too thought that Perez was so biased in his asking such a question and now it’s evident in his responses. He is not being tolerant in his views!
