I truly have to step back for a moment on this one but I agree with Miss California with her stance on gay marriage and not because I agree or disagree, because I believe in her 1st amendment right to speak her mind.
The problem here is that she spoke her mind and then received so much flack from the public or at least that is what the media is letting us think! The fact is that the Miss USA contest is getting another dose of publicity and ratings are through the roof for not only The Donald but for NBC, which host the contest as well as the Miss Universe contest.
So she spoke out against gay marriage and she is attacked. This is a bit of a tough stance because 20 years ago, if she said that gay's should have this right she would have been attacked as well but there seems to be more behind this attack that seems to be a trend out in our "free" society. There seems to be a right to free speech but at the same time you are not to offend people hence the "politically correct" speech. This limitation on speech is insane and has to stop.
There is a bill at the Senate bill 126, that is in place to stop offensive material on the Internet and it is really that general. The problem again is the question is what is offensive. Would saying gay marriage is wrong or even that life style, what about the opposite view of global warming, or saying only 4 million Jews died during the Holocaust or saying that the president was wrong for what he and the cabinet are doing. Are these the offensive things?
I am sorry but I do not agree with a lot of things that are said out there but that is part of the 1st amendment, as citizen's of the US we have the right to say what we want and if you don't like it, MOVE!!!
