When asked a question on the topic she said:
"I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what? I think 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 out there, but that’s how I was raised."Oddly she later claimed that she had prayed to God for help answering these questions, and judging by her retarded answer, one can only assume that God was too busy helping the poor and needy, as opposed to watching a bimbo fest in Las Vegas.
Her answer of course caused a bit of offense generally, and panicked the pageant organizers who feared a backlash from angry sponsors.
But instead of just dropping the matter the sweet little Barbie has gone on the offensive, allying herself with various right wing crazy groups in order to 'protect marriage.'
She has reportedly signed on with a leading Christian PR firm (A. Larry Ross Communications), to promote her discriminatory ideology, and has already participated in several interviews on TV. During one such interview she claimed to have many gay friends, and said that God was using her to promote His anti-gay agenda. She also claimed that there was a possible book deal, movie deal, and various other nonsense (it's like "Joe" the "Plumber" all over again).
This morning I saw her on cable news talking about her job 'protecting' marriage, and I just couldn't help but think what a vacuous bitch she really is. This is a woman whose 'values' include getting fake boobs paid for by pageant officials, and believes in discrimination against gay people. She has tried to stress that she is merely stating her personal opinion, but she is doing a lot more than that. She is promoting an agenda of discrimination against people, and encouraging others to do the same. She is not campaigning for her right not to enter a gay marriage, but instead demanding that gay people not be allowed to.
Many of her supporters have ignored this strange logic, focusing on how pleased they are that she stands up for what she believes. But that is only an admirable quality if you are trying to help others, rather than marginalize them.
She is also trying to pretend that she is smart, which is clearly a stretch. If you look back at her original quote she begins by saying that she thinks it is 'great' that we live in a country where 'Americans are able to choose one or the other.' But that isn't true at all. The average American who is gay cannot choose to be married, because bigots like her are campaigning for their rights to be curtailed.
So my question to Barbie is if you believe it is so great that gay people have the freedom to choose, why are you investing so much time and energy into campaigning against gay marriage? Aren't there real causes out there? Poverty? Infant mortality? Disease? Education? The environment? AIDS? Teen pregnancy?
I suspect however the real reason for all this is the fact that she is a publicity whore. She is trying to portray herself as a tireless God campaigner among other things. She even said in an interview that she was doing God's work for Him. However, I find it hard to believe that God's plan was for this self absorbed narcissist to get fake boobs, parade around a stage in a revealing bikini, and then call for discrimination against others. I don't recall reading of Jesus doing anything like that.
