That’s odd. I’m Christian and I attend church with a load of sinners all the time. There are gays in my church, both sexes, and there are adulterers, thieves, people who covet the property of others, plenty who are into sloth, etc., etc. While homosexuals may be more self-destructive than others, they’re just run of the mill sinners, nothing special. As long as they see themselves as just more folks and don’t demand some special treatment, what the hell, a sinner is a sinner is a sinner.

“This woman said what she wanted to say. The government didn’t censor her. She is not in chains. The right to free speech is intact. It hasn’t gone anywhere, nor will it. Oh, and there’s that persecuted bit again. Get a grip.”

I agree with you on that. Someone owns the pageant, so someone gets to make the rules. I do think they should have said that answers you gave were subject to PC scrutiny on that issue. Did they have rules about asking whether contestants were lesbian or is it that no one thought to ask? I don’t think it would be a bit more or less proper to do so. Someone should have told her which way the judges leaned and had her say, “I’d rather not answer that question one way or another”. If anyone had been real swooft, that’s what all the constants should have said. I give her credit for honesty, but honesty can often be tough on your career these days. You probably know that as well as she or I.

Have a nice day
