Prejean's answer was garbled and inaccurate: "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other ... choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage ... (but) I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman." OK. We strongly disagree with her position, but it wasn't gay-bashing. So why does the story persist, day after day?
Part of the reason it's persisting is that both Prejean and Hilton want it to - as a result of all the attention, they're both making out like bandits. Hilton, who's been attacking Prejean on his blog with epithets, makes pennies on every page view. Prejean has become an evangelical darling - and once she hits the speech-and-appearance circuit, she'll make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. (Some of which she should use to employ a good speechwriter.) As for their sponsor - the Miss USA pageant - it's never been more relevant.
It's win-win-win for the blogger, the beauty queen and the pageant promoters - and a distraction for an issue that deserves more serious and substantive discussion than it merited in this vacuous exchange.
