Carrie, you go girl. that's all i can say.
Here's the shake down, in America, religious freedom is becoming replaced by political correctness. It's no longer ok to stand up for what you believe, what you live by as a follower of Christ, Truth. I refuse to accept this cultural norm in my life and know that soon and very soon, to be a believer in Jesus Christ as the only way only the truth and the only life will not only be taboo, it will be all out rejected.
Carrie took the biggest, most public hit of our generation for our generation of believers. I'm proud of her for sticking to it and not buckling under the pressure of culture.
the following is a clip of a foxnews story today:
"Hollywood isn’t just liberal, it is fearfully liberal. It is easier in Hollywood to say you’re a drug addict or to pretty much anything than to admit to being a committed Christian," media expert and longtime Hollywood publicist, Michael Levine of Levine Communications, told FOXnews.com.
Prejean, a student at San Diego Christian College, is studying to become a special education teacher and spends her spare time volunteering for the Best Buddies non profit organization, a program that helps people with disabilities. Prejean is also a volunteer for the Special Olympics.
But according to Equality California, a statewide advocacy group dedicated to winning equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Prejean’s views on gay marriage don't fit with those of her generation.
"It is unfortunate that Miss California, who we note did not win, is so out of touch with the overwhelming majority of people her age that she wants to deny loving, committed couples the rights and dignity that come only with marriage," said Geoff Kors, Executive Director of Equality California.
Prejean has garnered a lot of support nonetheless.
"The majority of California’s voters -- more than 7 million people -- voted to protect traditional marriage, and we congratulate Miss California for her conviction to speak her beliefs," Ron Prentice, chairman of ProtectMarriage.com Coalition, said.
Moakler’s colleague Keith Lewis released a statement to FOXnews.com Monday morning condemning Prejean and saying that "religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family." But later in the day he softened his rhetoric.
