Intolerance
A week or so ago, Miss California shocked the world by stating that she believed that same sex marriages were wrong, and that marriage was for one man and one woman. She was slated for her views, and probably – according to some – forfeited the Miss USA title on this account.
A day or two ago, Alan Duncan MP, the openly gay shadow Leader of the House of Commons, while appearing on a British panel show, stated in response, “If you read that Miss California’s been murdered, you’ll know it was me, won’t you?” He was mocked by his fellow panellists, but otherwise waltzed away, and there the matter lies.
I think he was troubled by her intolerance.

Jeremy,
Sorry this is in 2 parts but I was logging off at work for the next shift. I thought that I was the only one in the world that was able to perceive the hypocrisy when people tell someone that they are intolerant. You really can not say that to anyone without displaying your intolerance. Why is it that with doing no more that stating your disapproval of an act say . . . homosexual sex is that more intolerant the act itself when it is not the norm? No mater how you slice it when less than 3% of the people in the world are gay that is not normative. Many thing I do and I am sure you do are not normal aether, only 1% of the people in the United States are Firefighters, that is not normal there is something seriously wrong with those of us are running into the building when everybody else is running out. Do I take offense at that? No! We know we are not normal and joke about it ourselves.
I wish that the other not normal people in the world would do the same.
I have several blogs on Miss California one of them is : http://bikerbernie.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/miss-america-miss-california-perez-hilton/
