Did Miss California lose because of her opinion on gay marriage?

@OP,

Miss California said "opposite marriage" and should have lost due to that alone. She also should have just worded it better so she wasn't telling everybody else how to live. She tried to tone it down a bit by saying it's great how people can decide, but then in the next breath she decided, for everybody. And that's where she lost. It was a pretty tricky question for a beauty pageant, definitely, but at beauty pageants you're supposed to give really boring answers about world peace, no matter what the question is.

I hope somebody makes a beauty pageant mash-up video, where I can learn that most people don't have maps of opposite marriage and the Iraq.

 

How was she pushing her idea on anyone? I just re-read it to make sure, and I disagree with what you said. Look at my post explaining my view of alcohol, is it not almost exactly the same?

 

She says that it's great that people get to choose, but for her, personally, she thinks it should be between a man and a woman.

 

I think it's great that people get to choose whether or not to consume alcohol, but for me, personally, I think that alcohol is a substance that causes too many problems and shouldn't be consumed by people.

Does that mean I'm pushing my view on everyone? Hell no, that's just my view. You can drink if you want, and that's fine, but I personally don't think alcohol is a good thing to drink. Just because I disapprove of what you do, does that automatically mean that I'm pushing my view on you?

Do you really think she was pushing her view on everyone, with that statement she made? How?

Where she said "that's the way it should be" and "in my country, in my family."

You didn't say "not drinking, that's the way it should be" or "in my country, in my family, nobody should drink."

Disapproval of the lifestyle/behavior/actions is fine, but disapproval of the legality is where I draw the line.  You may call me an idiot for drinking booze, and you'd probably be right, but once you say I shouldn't have the right to drink, I'll get pissed.
