Miss California loses Miss USA...

How did she 'know' she lost because of her views? Who's to say she would have freaking won regardless of what she'd said in reply to that question? All I see is her opinion that it was because of her answer, so I guess she is the one creating the furore because she's a sore ####### loser.

the lesson learned here - it's best to remain silent about gay marriage or suffer the outrage.

Of what?

Seriously... it's not exactly the lion's den not to win Miss USA because the sponsors don't want her representing them.

Well he was only one judge...

But as Caladan pointed out - it probably has a lot to do with the image events sponsors want to present. Presumably they didn't want to be associated with those views.

Judge for yourself.

yes, why would sponsors want to be associated with the viewpoint of the majority of the country?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

To be honest Gary, I can't say I really care much whether she lost for that reason or not. It doesn't matter to me a whole lot either way, certainly not to get into a "Liberals" Vs. "Conservatives" argument about it. Storm in a teacup IMO.

Its not as though beauty contests are politically correct at the best of times. They are kind of demeaning to women to begin with...

There's a certain demographic advertisers who advertise on beauty pageants are most interested in. Where does that demographic stand on the issue?

Probably because the audience for this is not "the majority of the country"

What demographic is that? Actually, who the hell watches beauty pagents at all?

I don't. I don't know anyone who does.

I think the demographic watching that ####### is the same that watches dancing with the stars

Have to be honest, I wasn't even aware the beauty pagent was going on until I saw this topic here on VJ. What channel was it on?

Oh- so its women, and men like myself who are held hostage for 3 hours a week.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

And those people.

Not that there's anything wrong with it.
