Good for her!! It's about time someone stood up and truly expressed how they feel about gay marriage. AND, she did it very nicely and unoffensively. There wasn't any "gay bashing" going on. Carrie has done something that the majority of the USA are thinking. I put to people like Perez Hilton- please find in science and/or nature where 2 of the same sex survive to continue their specie. When you can do that, then true christians may be more open to same sex marriage. (not the gay priests who support homosexulity to justify themselves) More of us need to stand up and express our opposing thoughts. Homosexuality is just not normal physiologically. There's a reason our bodies were created the way they are.

I'm with John from CT. I look forward to more Americans standing up against idiotic things such as this.

Miss California broke the contract she signed. If her employer (The Donald) wants to allow that - hey, all's good. If he also wants her to allow her to miss her duties as Miss California because she is too busy with her speakings with her organization against gay marriage (and, thus one would assume pro-marriage which still has that 50% divorce rating - YIKES, shouldn't we do something about that before bashing gays, but I digress), all is good as they say, in the hood.

However, can I please ask those of you who do not quite know how to spell to simply use Firefox as your browser as it will catch all of your spelling errors. Thus, your lack of education will only be identified by the insanity and scary weird theories you embrace. Look to the sky - the truth isn't out there. =D

To the poster who claimed the "liberals" were "highjacking" our "God given country and courts" - please study history. Our founding fathers wanted nothing more than to separate Church and State. There is nothing God given about this country - our independence was fought for and earned in blood and valor, not handed to our forefathers as a birthright in the name of any God. Our courts come from our Constitution, not God. If you wish to live in a place of God, go join a nunnery or become a priest. This is a secular country with NO TIES TO ANY RELIGION. We welcome all to worship and pray as they choose fit and this is what makes us great.

It is those who preach intolerance, funny enough, that claim they speak for "God." Somehow I doubt that any Creator would want us to hate each other, kill each other in His name, or to deride how we choose or even if we chose to worship. For if we are all one in his image - we are all his children. To spread hatred among his children surely cannot please Him, if he exists.

Should Obama resign?

Many have pointed out that Obama has pretty much the same position.

Obama: "...and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman..."

Today in america kids prefer to see violence videos games,violent music singed by violent trash musician that MTV love to air they violent videoes, one of them is MARILYN MANSON half-woman half-men in pure reality you dont know what he realy is,for my understanding is a Alien taken from AREA 51 and EVIL alien.Thats the america we have know the america that dont have any values or respect to others.The AMERICA where KIDS learn to HATE instead of LOVE, The AMERICA that only care about MONEY,to get rich at any cost,putting away any ethical values.The monsters you create today are going to be the monsters of tomorrow.I believe she is a product of today EVIL scientis that manufacture, angel looking trashi EVIL beauties to be a roking CASH-BOX.For my opinion my free opinion you have here.This is the new AMERICA where kids love and learn to be rich and famous at any cost,that MONEY is better than to have a background of family values,This is the NEW AMERICA where banks repo people homes and CEOS made millions on bonus bringing down companies and tax-payers need to rescue them.Dont look to far,this is the NEW WORLD ORDER where there is no ethicals values anymore this is the real AMERICA.No matter how the monkey are dres STILL A MONKEY, this is my free opinion because i still have freedom of speech.

The pictures I have seen are tame and her answer to the question was sincere and decently stated - no justification for de-crowning her.

I favor gay rights and have consistently voted for them. I must say though the words and actions of gay rights "leaders" give me discomfort in that support.

Miss C is trying to distract us from the real reason why they considered taking away her "crown" - her scantily clad photos recently, her similar ones a few years ago, her subsidized implants and breaking several pageant contract clauses.

If the almost comic ego-freak Donald Trump wants to stand up and excuse it all, then fine. Maybe they should consider reinstating Vanessa Williams title as well. Same circumstances - why different treatment?

All her sobbing about her dear grandfather fighting for her right to free speech is a joke - and not related to what happened here. She is getting more press about this because of her comments, but the decision for the title to be taken or remain was never about her comments on gay marriage.

If she wants to be famous, then she'll have to drop the teary-eyed routine and toughen up. Being famous is not always about everyone agreeing or playing noce. If you can't take the heat, get out of the limelight.

It's sad for women that another beauty pageant tra-la made the news again. Miss C.represents a superficial whining female who needs a man to stand up and defend her. She doesn't really understand that her "right to free speech" means that others have the right to openly criticize as much as she has the right to express her views. Both need to be respected.

What a bunch of air time about nothing.

I agree with the "Donald". She has every right granted to her under the constitution to speak freely and honestly. That little dork Perez Hilton, should get his duties as a contestant judge stripped. We have service men and women putting their lives on the line everyday to protect those rights and freedoms that Perez takes for granted. What makes him think his opinion is important? He needs to spend some time in the Swat Valley to straighten his ass out.

I never did a comment befor but this time (Wow). Trump look into given Vanessa Williams TITLE BACK.......... Need i say more?

Everyone is entitled to speak their mind - Our country is still a free country last time I looked....Homosexuals today want to militantly take over every aspect of our society with their trash and we are letting them step all over all those who appose their life style. I need to remind the American people that they (homosexuals)are a minority compared to the Christian majority, who still believe on Godly principles and morals. I don't believe in the nude pictures even if they are "risque"....It does not portray true Christianity, which is to refrain from any type of evil or anything that could compromise your faith. There are still many conservatives in this country who need to speak out on our nations downward spiral into imodesty and imorality. We need to stop the liberals and the ungodly from highjacking our God given country and our courts.
