but did she actually say they shouldn't have the right? she said in her household she believed it was a man and a woman.

it's like the way I feel about howard stern, I really don't like most of anything I've ever heard on his show, but he's in the front lines of first amendment action, using it to the fullest. I defend that. I also respect the fact that Miss CA was honest. I'd rather somebody disagree with me but be honest and discuss things. and of course as much as other opinions tend to make us angry when they differ from ours, it's doing the same to them.

I too think it is a crazy question to ask. not at all what I care about hearing from my contestants. I want questions like, "have you and the other contestants had pillow fights in your underwear?" stuff that really matters.

I don't know how many of you have gay or lesbian friends. I voted the last time it came round in CA in favor of letting the marriages be legally recognized. on principle I don't agree with modifying constitutions, state or fed, with anything that restricts a person's lifestyle choices. Protect us from each other where absolutely necessary, but people should get to do what they like if it doesn't harm others. since then I've become really good friends with some same sex couples. the hardest part of the whole Prop 8 thing here was when one of them told me how much it hurt that people she knew, and acted like they were her friends, would vote to ban her marriage rights and would hang out with her and her wife but not want them to have the same legal status.

The other hard part was working for the educational system, knowing for a fact they don't teach about marriage in schools, and then seeing the ad campaign saying that if the prop. was defeated our kids would learn about same sex marriages in school. I know a few people who said that was the reason they voted for it, that's what I was talking about playing dirty.

I'd still totally make out with Miss CA though.
