Gay Old Time

 

Updated : Apr 21, 2009

Very Happy Pig reckons it’s because the other girl was more beautiful and waxed lyrical about “world peace” as often as she could, but the runner-up at the Miss USA beauty pageant says her outspoken opposition to gay marriage cost her first place in the competition.

"No offence to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

The remarks drew a mixture of booing and applause from the audience.

Speaking after the show, which was broadcast on Sunday evening in the US, Ms Prejean said: "I wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that's all I can do."
