Miss California – on gay, sis and beauty pageant

She dissed Perez Hilton, she didn’t get the Miss America crown though she could, but Miss California Carrie Prejean is still full of optimism and open to talk about the Miss America contest controversy.

The 21 year-old blonde talked to Billy Bush for The Billy Bush Show and Access Hollywood yesterday morning, and here are some highlights:

I feel like I won. I feel like I’m the winner. I really do,” she said adding that her answer “did cost me my crown.”

I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do. It is a very touchy subject and he [Perez] is a homosexual and I see where he was coming from and I see the audience would’ve wanted me to be more politically correct. But I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything.”

About her sis who’s a gay rights activist:

[She] is a second lieutenant in the Air Force and she is a gay rights activist. She supports gay people, she supports gay marriage. She was just in my hotel room and she said, ‘Sis, I’m not offended by anything that you said. We have two different opinions and I love you because of it. I love you because you stood up for what was right, and it’s not a matter of being gay or not gay, it’s a matter of you competing for Miss USA and getting a question and answering it to the best of your ability.’ That’s what’s so great about being an American – we’re able to have our own opinions.

Here’s the video that cost Carrie her Miss America title.
