Anti-gay marriage activist Carrie Prejean goes “opposite” wearing clothes in nude photos

I do wonder what it’s like to be Miss California and anti-gay marriage activist  Carrie Prejean these days. Does she wake up in the morning and think: “How can I make the world a better place?” or “Crap. What fresh dirt are they gonna dig up about me now?”

The latest dirt is this: Miss California – who asked pageant officials to pay for her to get breast implants before the Miss USA pageant – church-going conservative Christian Carrie posed for a series of nude photos that are now beginning to surface.

Nude photos are no big deal to me. Heck, they made former Miss America Vanessa Williams a household name. But Carrie just seems like such a hypocrite.

The poor girl has released the following statement that I got via Towleroad about how persecuted she’s been since saying during the Miss USA pageant that she’s against same-sex marriage. She later claimed the answer cost her the crown and has since then been embraced as a spokeswoman for anti-gay marriage.

Carrie now says:

“On April 19, I chose to answer a question during the 2009 Miss USA pageant in an honest and personal manner that expressed my views of the long-established definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. That answer, and my commitment to stand by my beliefs, has since resulted in attacks on me and my integrity as a woman. We live in a great country; a nation that was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Yet my comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street.

“I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others’ opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks.

“With that in mind, I will continue to support and defend marriage as the honorable institution it is. I will continue to stand with the overwhelming majority of the American people and the voters of my home state of California. If this whole experience has taught me anything, it is our precious right to speak freely, and how we as Americans can never allow anyone or any group to intimidate or threaten us to keep silent.”

Overwhelming majority? Not quite. Intolerant and offensive? Look in the mirror.
