    Oh, yeah. Sorry. It was a right granted by Thomas Jefferson. My bad.

    You put an ass like that on the panel, and provide the opportunity for that question, it's nothing less than a hit job. It's like inviting Sandra Bernhard to ask a question about abortion.

    Anyway, they all ought to get the same question, and be judged on answers to that single question.

    Again, I ask why do people care about this shit?

    Some judges rolled their eyes and snickered… okay. I’m failing to see where an objectifying superficial contest is above such things?

    I don’t even care that the “judge” went and made blog video calling her every name in the book. I know exceedingly little about the guy, but it sounds to me like it is par for the course with him.

    So, again, I’m failing to drum up where the outrage is here.

    Perez Hilton acts like Perez Hilton… people are outraged.
    Beauty contestant dunce acts like a beauty contestant dunce… people are outraged.

    Maybe the outrage is over the fact that a legitimate question was actually posed instead of some puff question about how they feel about starving children.

    People care because it was an “attractive” woman on stage reinforcing the bigoted beliefs of people like Sean Hannity. In their mind, if someone like this believes in their cause, well, they must be right!

    Other people care because they see it as more evidence that there are a lot people still left in this country that snub their nose at civil rights and refuse to learn from lessons past.

    Because Perez Hilton, sad to say, has an audience. And he called her a b-tch. Then apologized. Then took the apology back and said he really wanted to call her a c--t. All because she has an opinion. But then again, it's not his opinion, so she's a really terrible person that deserves to be called every name in the book.

    Again, my contention is that being against gay marriage does not make you a bigot.
    And the gay community never makes friends in the black community by equating their cause with the Civil Rights movement.

    Bigotry = bigotry. People can be personally against it as much as they want, but I've yet to see a compelling legal argument as to why it shouldn't be allowed. Please be the first to offer one.

    Your contention is wrong. And if the “black community” doesn’t like equal marriage rights called civil rights they can go fuck off. Last time I checked “civil” wasn’t exclusive to “black.”

    He probably still works there, as both the customer and the client.
