Miss California Carrie Prejean scheduled for Dove Awards
“Prejean, who was crowned runner-up during Sunday night’s Miss USA pageant, made national news after judge Perez Hilton asked her about her stance on legalizing gay marriage. She replied that that “marriage should be between a man and a woman.”
News stories following the pageant reported Prejean thinks she would have won the title had she answered the question differently. Yet she has stood by her response, telling host Matt Lauer on Tuesday’s NBC’s Today that she spoke from the heart.
She apparently answered in a particular way as a person of faith,” says Brad Siegel, vice chairman of Gospel Music Channel. “For the show, having a person of faith who has gone as far as she went in the Miss USA pageant who has high celebrity and who is a big fan of Christian music is a great reason to have her be a presenter.”
(Or maybe everyone just realized she was an idiot when she started talking about “opposite marriage”….?)
