Adam, Steve and Miss Cali USA

Few words exists to accurately convey my sadness in the wake of the the Miss California USA fiasco so I shall not exacerbate myself here. What I will say however is that if we present the hypothesis that beauty pageants are in fact are perfectly valid consumer of public funding and media space, one small grace is that it has brung to the surface a still very much alive prejudice against homosexuality. Miss CA’s draconian answer to Perez Hilton’s question has successfully propelled an issue into both the blogosphere and heritagemedia-a-sphere (?) that badly needed the attention not only of American policy makers but of the world itself. Despite her mother’s exclamation that the Bible reads “Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!” (I wonder how long she was sitting on that one for), I sincerely hope that the media furore will eventuate in the overturning of Prop 8 and the repercussions of this victory are felt by nations around the world including my own.

I urge you to saturate your twitters, facebooks and blogs in support of SOCIAL EQUALITY even if this does not concur with your own moral standpoint.
