Noted Fan of the Feminine Form Perez Hilton Says He Wants Beauty Pageant Contestants to Dodge His Questions
I Wish I'd Called Her C--- Rather Than a B----, Hilton Regrets
He claims the answer he wanted to hear was "I'm going to leave my politics out of it and just say each state should decide," but that is nonsense. The answer he would have liked far more is "I support gay marriage," so he's claiming that only one answer is "divisive" and must be dishonestly massaged into vague meaninglessness.
As Allah notes, this is actually good for gay marriage opponents, as the public now gets a good look at the the nasty and ruthless tactics deployed by some gay marriage fanatics.
It's pretty clear why he asked this particular girl the question -- she's a Christian. So he already had some animus against her; he was, in his mind, giving her the opportunity to recant and, like Meghan McCain, reassure him that she wasn't like "all those other bad Christians."
The same question could have been asked of any contestant, with similar damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't results; but he singled out the Christian girl for the perilous question.
As he says, slipping a bit as he accidentally offers a candid opinion, he didn't want to hear "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" from a contestant, as that's "uninclusive" and, actually, "offensive."
And thus a new prerequisite is imposed on would-be pageant winners: They must be either agnostic or vague in their religious believes. They are simply not allowed to have any belief that might "offend" a part of the population. And that part of the population is, of course, the secular transnational left. They are pushing their long-held veto on what is acceptable in the media or public to even greater extremes.
Correction: Readers tell me that it was determined randomly which judge would ask them a question. So it seems (I think) that my claim that he singed the Christian girl out is wrong.
Certainly, however, he came at her with a special animus.
"Dumb Bitch" Was too Good for Her: Vid of Hilton expressing his only regret.
