Miss California Carrie Prejean fumbles over a controversial question from guest judge Perez Hilton in the Miss USA 2009 pageant.

 

 

Carrie Prejean was caught off-guard by gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton during the question and answer portion of the Miss USA 2009 beauty pageant.

Here’s the transcript of the question and answer between Perez and Prejean:

Perez Hilton: “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?”

Prejean: “Well I think its 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, 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 and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.”

Some in the audience cheered, others booed. The answer sparked a shouting match in the lobby after the show.

Carrie ended as first runner-Up to Miss North Carolina’s Kristen Dalton.
