Former Miss California wrote a book. Quotes on the back range as such: "It took a twenty-two year old beauty queen to remind america that there is still such a thing as free speech and that we don't have to kowtow to political correctness." "[She] is more than a beauty queen-- it makes her a heroine." "No one can incite the rage of liberals like a sexy Evangelical Christian..." "Facing a frenzy of attacks from liberals for preferring 'classic marriage' to 'new marriage' in her answer to a beauty pageant..." "There is no rock like the rock of Christianity..." Has stuff about how she was facing a hate campaign... I call that karma. There is such a thing as free speech, I get that. People have a right to their opinions; but, people also have the basic human right for equality. Something like this shouldn't be up for debate, people shouldn't vote on it-- it's the right to be married to the one you love, there should be nothing dictating that one type of marriage (whether it's the matter of interracial marriage, gay marriage, straight marriage) that says one type of it is the 'right' one, the real one. (And I don't give a shit about political correctness, so not what this is all about.) This is ridiculous. Church and state are separate, I don't get how it keeps getting thrown around, quoting the bible-- What have you. Equality people. This whole thing makes me a bit sick.
