Right to an opinion.
16 years ago
You know...I realize that there are a lot of folks here who don't agree with what Miss California said about her view on what marriage is. That's all well and good, I'm not complaining about that. Everyone has a right to their own opinion...including her. I applaud her for answering the question posed to her about marriage so bluntly. She could've taken the easy and more popular politically correct approach. Hell odds are she'd probably be Miss America right now if she did. But instead of being praised for sticking to her faith and her opinion of marriage, she's being crucified by the media and the pagent directors for what she said. Have we gotten so messed up in this country that one can't even express an honest opinion without fear of reprisal. I for one praise her for what she did and whether or not you agree with her definition of marriage, you should still agree that it was great that she didn't go the easy route and instead stuck to her guns and said what she beleived. If you agree with me on that then great...I'm glad to hear it. IF not...well that's fine too. Afterall you are entitled to your own opinion afterall . Take care y'all.

It seems to me that a lot of people on the left (and some people on the right, of course) forget that opinions can cut both ways. People can say whatever they want, they just have to prepare for a respone they may not want to hear. A lot of people acted emotionally to Miss California's answer, including the judge, and that, to me, is the wrong reaction.

as long as shes not stoning me and my husband for being married in Sweden, or starting a roit or protest, then im fine with her opinon


She stuck to her beliefs and she's paying the price. Seems the standard to me, fair or not. It's how it always works with opinions/beliefs/ways when you have the guts to say it.

Totally agreed. Alot of people don't seem to understand that there's a difference between being judgmental and simply disagreeing with something.
