New Miss California has same views on gay marriage as old Miss California
2009-06-12
Tami Farrell, the newly crowned beauty queen who is replacing the ousted Carrie Prejean as Miss California, apparently holds the same view as her predecessor, Carrie Prejean, and President Obama that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Fox News host Neil Cavuto asked Farrell, who is Christian, on his show today:

"[Prejean] went out and said that a marriage is between a man and a woman. Do you share that view?"

Farrell responded in the affirmative with a simple, "Uh huh."

"You do, OK," said Cavuto.

Farrell quickly added: "I don't think that I have the right or anybody has a right to tell somebody who they can or can't love. And I think that this is a civil rights issue. And I think that the right thing to do is let the voters decide."

#8  You can love anyone you want and no one really cares.

As long as you don't do it in the road and scare the horses.

#7  Actually I had the change to watch her (Farrell) on Cavuto this evening and it seemed to me that she went out of her way NOT to answer the question and to mouth politically correct platitudes in order to stay out of the fire.

Sort of like if asked about health care she would answer that she thought everyone should be healthy.

#6  Quick unscientific poll.

Dare they can her like the first Miss Calif? After all she's saying the same things.

Yes, or No.

#5  Discression being the better part of valor 'Farrell responded in the affirmative with a simple, "Uh huh."'. I can't really blame her. The Left can be pretty nasty when you do not agree with them totally; they may choose not to notice in that they won this round.

Farrell quickly added: "I don't think that I have the right or anybody has a right to tell somebody who they can or can't love." Actually, I do not know anybody is saying that. What they are saying is that marriage is between a man and a woman. Period.

You can love anyone you want and no one really cares.

Civil rights have nothing to do with marriage. Civil rights is the province of all American Citizens.

Regarding the state of marriage it is the province of the voters or the legislature not the courts. I don't know, some day "gay" marriage may be the law of the land. If so it will be the voters or the legislature who changes the exiting definition, not the courts.

#4  In a 'democracy of special interests', it's not what the voters want that really counts. It's what the special interests want that has standing. Voters are only used in a ritualistic process to validate the oligarchs.

#3  The voters have decided, and the answer is they align themselves with "one man, one woman" correct?

Heresy! That should get her booted faster than if she had just keep the one man, one women point.
