“I think it's great Americans are able to choose one or the other," she said. "We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what in my country, in my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be, between a man and a woman."

Miss California, Carrie Prejean is disappointed when she didn't win the Miss USA pageant after she answered the question about same sex marriage. Although, many were disappointed with her answer she still says that she's proud because “she stayed true to her beliefs and wouldn't change the response – even though she believes it cost her the crown” (Lauren Johnston of Daily News ).
With broad perspectives and liberated understanding of men today, some people of America are somehow disgusted with Ms. Prejean’s answer. Many were calling her as a “disappointing opportunistic” but I believe that Ms. Prejean is right about what she’s saying. The Bible said unto us that we should not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; for that is detestable (Leviticus 18:22)”. Ms. Prejean is just applying the teachings of the church with her perspectives in life. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) also defends Ms. Prejean’s innocence and statement, they said that she’s not an opportunistic woman with hidden agendas; it’s the pageant that made a disrespectful act with Ms. Prejean’s statement. Ms. Gallaher, the president of NOM, also added that “Carrie Prejean is a young woman of courage who chose truth over the Miss USA tiara.”
Now, Ms. Prejean is standing for an anti-gay marriage ad sponsored by National Organization for Marriage. She said that she was attacked for giving her own opinion on stage but she will still go for what she stands for, “to protect marriage whatever it takes”. Even though a lot of people brought her down, Prejean is still one of those brave hearts who still believe in the sanctity of marriage. She chose to outshine her glory for the sake of truth.
