Homo Miss Californicator...
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, May 5, 2009 at 10:50 AM
...is showing signs of cracking under the strain. Immediately after confirming that, yes, those are her breasts in those nude pictures, Miss California sent a Tweet to gay blogger JoeMyGod accusing him of lying: "...your writing has no factual basis whatsoever."
What did Joe write? Uh... that Miss California posed for nude photos.

I think Miss California is a moron, an imbecile--and yes--a bigot. However, I don't think this whole pink mafia chase ("I'll get you my pretty!")and determination to dethrone her is winning us a lot of support among people ambivalent to gay marriage. Gay people have traditionally been able to win over those in the middle because they are perceived as the "cool kids". Becoming the new PC police, the new finger-shakers and WHAT ABOUT MEEEE! screamers isn't going to help. The country is moving away from that shrill, whiney, 1990s identity politics (ask Hillary Clinton) and I think there are bigger fish to fry.
And, for a little perspective, gay men in Iraq are having their assholes glued shut and being forced to consume laxatives until they die!

Please don't tell me that SpecialBrew is asking for mercy for miss CA? That K-U-N-T publicly declared herself a Christian who followed the teachings of Christ and therefore was against allowing equal rights for a minority group... Now she is being publicly dismantled for all of her Christian hypocrisy and vilified for behaving anything but as a Christian. Gay marriage not in the bible and unnatural? Well what about those boobs Miss CA? What about those BOOBS?...

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL?

A spokesperson is an image and representative of the ideal proposed by the group they represent (see: Jesus or the Michelin Man; both are unconventional in appearance and have a fondness for saving babies), so it's only fitting that Miss Prejean gets run up a flagpole and back down the other side for espousing things that are clearly contrary to who she says she is and what she stands for.
I love Joe, by the way. He's so hot.

idk... i'm not sure i'd call those "nude" photographs. from what i've seen, even calling them "topless" seems a bit of a stretch.

Cheney, Bush, Palin, Joe the Plumber, and now a fucking model who Perez Hilton called a bitch.
They're not even trying anymore.

If this is the best the anti-gay marriage folks can come up with, I think we're in pretty good shape.

The twitter account doesn't read like it's written by her. But maybe that's what she's really like.
14
No way in hell was it really her. She wrote 'your writing has...' if this was really Prejean writing it would have been 'You're writing has...' No way in hell would 'no factual basis whatsoever' have been typed by her fair hands.

#11, if they are such laughable spokespeople, why did the blogayosphere spend the last two weeks publicly eviscerating her and hunting for dirt on her? Are you threatened by her or not? Or is this just some kind of vendetta?
#12, the best you have is Dan Savage and a guy that draws cum on celebrities' faces in MS Paint. I think you have a ways to go.
Just let her crawl back into her former-beauty-pageant-winner hole and stop embarrassing yourselves.

#14, I wasn't convinced that it was her but after reading her page I think it's at least one of her handlers. If this account had been created for humorous purposes, I think we'd be seeing some kind of of satire by now.

@ 15, she's done all this to herself, you transparent concern troll. We're just having fun at her expense.

Wait, guys, how come we keep pointing out the hypocrisy of people who want to strip gays of their rights? Why would Dan, a gay man, be interested in discrediting anti-gay bigots? That's mean, guys!
And how is it relevant to gay rights when a new anti-gay spokesperson arises? Or when we're able to find something to bring them back down again? I don't get it :(
