Miss California did not say that she had anti-homosexual views, only that she felt that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Perhaps Miss Bryant did have strong views against homosexuality and just because at that time it was the popular opinion does not mean she 'sold out' if thts how she felt, thats how she flet. lets be honest here people, the pageant industry is supported by women and gay men. We all know this, we all love our queens, both kinds :) Just because someone doent belive in gay marriage doenst mean they are homophobic, or anti-gay or anything else...they justt believe that 'marriage' is not for same sex partners. It really is 2 different issues. (NT) Christi 17:33:44 04/22/09 Wed
