What does Miss California have to say?

Perez Hilton is up in arms about Miss California's comments regarding the same-sex marriage debate. What did she say that was so offensive? let's look at the quote.

"Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, 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 and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much."

Might I point out this gem
"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage."
Opposite marriage? Is this like opposite day? or is it more like divorce?
'Honey, I love you.... NOT!'

Who cares what Miss California thinks? I don't fret over decisions of public policy wondering what Miss California's opinion on the matter is. Generally, saying that a position is endorsed by a beauty contest competitor is a way of making the opinion seem weaker, rather than stronger.
