A Climate Of Tolerance
Through out the decades of debate, one of the leading mantras from the gay rights community has been that the religious community needs to be "tolerant" of their lifestyle choices. Yet as we saw the other night, tolerance seems to be a one way street.
Outspoken gay rights activist (and celebrity blogger) Perez Hilton was a judge on last weeks Miss USA competition. During the question and answer session, Hilton confronted Miss California...
In a video posted on his personal YouTube Channel, Hilton had this to say about Miss California.
HT to HA for the videos.
Hilton even went on to tell ABC News that Miss California "...was definitely the front-runner before that..." and that her answer "lost it" for her. All for expressing a lifestyle choice.
Yet people of faith are taken to task for their "intolerance". Perhaps Mr. Hilton should try to practice a little bit of the tolerance that he demands of others. Then maybe we can actually have a civil discussion on the issue.

What is interesting to me is that he focuses on the few "boos" that she received, and not the thousand who applauded. More than applauded when Hilton posed his question.
Hilton is correct on one thing. She should have answered as he did. It was the correct and best answer. But to lambaste her because she shared her beliefs is wrong. And in this case two wrongs don't make a right.
However, I respect Miss California, and I applaud her for standing strong in a difficult situation.

Whoa! Although, I disagree w/ Miss California's stand, I also think Mr. Hilton was a bit too harsh w/ his reaction... I suspected she was going to say something completely out of the blue - politically incorrect or something - but she wasn't that bad w/ the answer she gave... Though I'm glad she didn't win. LOL. But she is stunning. :)
