    How exactly does someone "respectfully" say that gay people should have fewer rights than straight people?

    Why is this point of view being defended yet again?

    Miss California could have answered Hilton's question this way "No, I do not think that every state should follow suit because I believe that a traditional marriage is between a man and a woman. However, I am in no position to decide if every state should follow suit or not. As a future Miss USA, it is my job not to be a politician but to be someone who represents and inspires the women and the troops, and I think it's great that the states get to decide for themselves." There! Hilton would have given her a higher score than 0.

      When it came down to it she appeared not to care about her score. When asked by matt lowerey on the todays show if she regreted saying what she said and wether or not if she would say it all over again she simply replied she would say it all over again. Its about time someone spoke out in public thrashing gay marriage.God knows everyone in the public eye is afraid too .. Way to go miss California!!! The key is to simply stop acknowledging homosexuals. We have gone wrong by letting them get this far. Lets put a STOP to it now people and throw them aside

    "Baby Shaker"? Oh, dear God. Rescore that one around a 98 (subtract two points for it not being, you know, an actual baby).

    As for Perez, I'd agree with the score, I just disagree that this is in any way different from what his score usually is day-to-day. I'm just surprised he hasn't killed anyone with his forced closed-outings yet.

      Sorry, that should be "closet-outings".

    A giant step forward for the news industry. It is no longer required to write anything to try to support an opinion. Just assign a number.
