I spent my Sunday evening watching the Miss USA pageant…I was overly excited to have Miss Kentucky in the Top 5! The small things in life make me smile it seems. However, during the questioning I was browsing through Twitter while watching and found several comments or should I say “opinion” from Perex Hilton’s tweets. If you are not familiar with Perez, I will inform you….he runs a celebrity gossip blog/website, always full of info on the latest in Hollywood life. I must admit that I have read it from time to time. Perez is also a openly gay man who embraces like most of the United States sam sex marriage. I’m about to step on some toes…so here we go…
Perez is entitled to his own “opinion”, which I put in quotes because he assumes himself to have the only ‘right’ opinion. As a judge for last nights pageant, held in my current home Las Vegas, he continually tweeted that Miss California is ignorant…hmmm. His questioned for her as one of the final 5 related to same sex marriage being legalized in Vermont, he asked if she shared their view and if this law should be passed throughout the United States. He disliked her answer…imagine that. She stated that her opinion is taht marriage is for a man and woman only, which I firmly support. She was quickly booed by the majority of the audience, surprise surprise. Check it out…

The term tolerance has been taken out of context severely when in relation to this issue. We, who support God’s Word and commandments are often called ignorant or intolerant toward alternative lifestyles…FALSE. As follower of Christ, I do not support same sex unions, BUT I do love those who have chosen that lifestyle. Christ calls us to love not to always agree. Why are Christians not allowed to have their own “opinion”…it is however not mine, it is God’s, our creator and father. We are expected to move with culture and accept all lifestyles…anyone who says that cannot possibly own a Bible…God’s Word is true whether you choose to believe it or not. I am called to love men like Perez. Jesus loves men and women such as he…Jesus was and is not ‘tolerant’ as in supportive of our sin. If Jesus constantly changed with culture, how would we then trust in Him. A flaky and inconsistent God?? I’ll pass.
As for Miss California? She did not win the pageant.
