Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA 2009 yesterday night at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The 22-year-old aspiring motivational speaker and entertainer from Wilmington edged out first runner-up Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, of San Diego, and second runner-up Miss Arizona USA Alicia-Monique Blanco, of Phoenix. Dalton’s victory has earned her a year’s use of a New York City apartment, a public relations team, a two-year scholarship at the New York Film Academy and an undisclosed salary. She also will go to the Bahamas in August to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. The highlight of the night however, was Miss California’s answer to a question about legalizing same-sex marriage:
“We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage,” Prejean said. “And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

how is that the highlight of the night? What? that she’s a bigot?
So, automatically, She’s a bigot because, she has her own opinion, regardless of the fact, that, shes not saying, anyone else has to
agree. dt you should be the one called a bigot
a bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. this is clearly not the impression she gave off so “dt”, get a life you idiot.
idiot: a foolish or stupid person! wink, wink! lol!
