Controversy keeps swirling around Carrie Prejean, the reigning Miss California USA and first runner-up to the Miss USA pageant.
Blasted by Perez Hilton, one of the pageant judges, for her stance on gay marriage, Carrie defended herself by saying that her own sister Christina is a gay rights activist--a statement that surprised her sister, as Christina is not gay.
But now, an openly gay woman has come forward to announce that she and Carrie's mother had a lesbian relationship.

So we have some announcements to make to all parties involved.
Carrie and her mom again.
Carrie: We're sorry to admit it, but parents never really lose the power to embarrass you.
Christina's Twitter avatar
Christina: Even though you have the right to bear arms, and probably know how to use them, being a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force and all, we're afraid we're not going to let you shoot anyone. Not even Perez Hilton. Silly String is as far as we'll let you go.
Perez: Please shut up.
Donald Trump: Ditto. And next year, instead of Perez, hire Simon Cowell.
Malibu Barbie Carrie and Christina
Francine: We know you've got enough to deal with right now. But we think you brought the wrong baby home from the hospital.
Where to start with this noxious buffet of abominations? Beauty pageants, Trump, Perez, AND tanning bed warning publicity hounds being hounded. It's like the ultimate Tacky Saga. All we need is lesbian octuplets.
i agree... where to start?
1) imho, the wrong sister is miss california.
2) i do feel sorry for the beauty queen, how many other contestants were asked the same question? and the majority of california voters agree with her, i disagree with her...but it seems mr. hilton is as intolerant of free speech as any bible-thumper.
Yeah it's kinda sad that she got nailed for being honest when you know that most anyone else would have answered that question according to what they figured the judges wanted to hear, regardless of how they really felt.
Although she may claim to have lost because of her answer, there is also a point to be made that she answered very badly... "opposite marriage"? It wasn't a clear and concise and well articulated response which is something the judges are looking for... not just the "right" answer. She sounded like a fool making a fool's argument. Drives me crazy when the only basis a grown person has is, "it's how I was raised". That's a cop out. How you were raised does not automatically excuse a bigoted viewpoint.
