dear miss california,

i am an AVID perezhilton.com reader. that is the only reason that i've even heard of you, and that's the only reason i had to watch the vido clip of you from the pagent, answering his question regarding gay marriage. as a "beauty pagent" contestant, you are in a position to be criticized, and i know you're proud to have stood up for what you believe in, but what i really took offense at was your remark stating that you "meant no offense" to the gay community by taking a stand against gay marriage. oh really? no offense? no offense, gays of america, but i don't think you have the same rights i have as a heterosexual. no offense, but i think that i should be able to marry the man of my dreams and have a family and tax breaks, but i don't believe you should be able to enjoy that right, gay america. i don't mean to offend you, hardworking, tax paying gay people of america, but i am more of a person than you are because i'm not gay.

think about this, miss california: when you deny a group of people the same rights that other groups are free to enjoy, you tell that group that they are less human than you are. sure, sure, you have your religious or your political beliefs, and that's all fine and dandy, but when you use those beliefs to deny a group of people of the basic human right of FALLING IN LOVE AND MARRYING SOMEONE, what is that group of people to do but take offense?

i mean, no offense, miss california, but i think you are just a narrow minded idiot who blew a perfectly good chance to parade around for the next year with a 47 pound tiara on your head because you stuck with your guns and you told those damn gay people that marriage can ONLY be defined one way. i mean, no offense. that's just what i think of you.
