		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Carrie Prejean is a girl that deserves to win the title that she won. She maybe against gay marriage but we should respect her opinion.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Keenan,

Yes, I completely agree.  Just also want to add that she never said she was against gay marriage - in fact, she said something to the effect that others had the right to think otherwise but it was her personal belief that marriage was a union of a man and woman.  That simple comment was used as an opportunity once again to use the term &quot;anti-gay&quot;.  Yawn.</description>

		<description>Yep.  He&#039;s an absolute delight.  Ugh.

Perez is tolerated, barely, by the gay world.  For the most part no one respects him and most wish he&#039;s shut up, grow up, and stop being obnoxious.  

Go back to being Mario and stop insisting that the world pay you constant attention, Perez.</description>

		<description>Some more behavior typical of Perez Hilton:

&quot;Hilton, who is openly gay, said Monday that he called will.i.am a &quot;faggot,&quot; a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his website.

He posted about the attack on the popular microblogging site Twitter on Monday, and has since rejected a call by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to apologize for using the term.&quot;</description>

		<description>Maggie, like all advocacy groups, uses popular media opportunities as they arise; you cannot pick such opportunities.  You focus on the slivers and the facts that support your argument and trust that the public can process the accompanying flaws.

Such is the case with Matthew Shepherd, a much more worthy example of a public event occurring with flaws...

Those who oppose your arguments, don&#039;t deal with the argument itself (and how it is highlighted by the recent public media event), they aggressively look for the flaws.

It is distraction and cynicism applied.

Everything and everyone is broken.</description>

		<description>Mary, I agree that some folks had a bit too much fun at Carrie Prejean&#039;s expense over the implant thing. But we are all aware that her Christian testimony is adversely impacted by the superficiality of beauty pageants. She lives in a glass house now, although she is to be commended for using that platform to speak her heart, especially given that she was set up. 

Perhaps it is the influence of the &quot;beautiful princess within&quot; bunk on Christian women we should be focusing on. There is a whole movement in women&#039;s ministries that plays to low self-esteem. The women in my SSA group snicker over these poor women who prattle on and on at singles ministry gatherings about hair and makeup and clothes. They are overlooking the essential foundation of the house and are focusing on the paint. Stacy Eldridge and her ilk ought to be exposed for their role in this nonsense.</description>

		<description>@jen: Sorry, I am guessing your comment went to the spam filter, especially if much about breasts was in it. It is a little sensitive.

So now that you are approved, you can comment about it if you want to. I don&#039;t know what you wrote since the spam filter catches thousands of comments. I did a cursory look but couldn&#039;t find yours.</description>
