MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama House has approved a resolution that praises Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean for speaking out against gay marriage.
The House approved the resolution Thursday by Republican Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery on a voice vote.
Prejean was competing as Miss California and finished second after answering a question from judge Perez Hilton concerning gay marriage during Sunday night’s televised pageant. She said she felt marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Love said Prejean stuck to her convictions even if it meant losing the pageant.
Love said he has received a number of e-mails and phone calls from across the country since introducing the resolution. He said more than half of those disagreed with the resolution.

such a shame. not only we do not allow gays the right of marriage, but we rub it in their faces. i am embarrased by the selfishness.
Is this the same girl, I thought she was Blonde. Anyway I applaud this woman for saying what she believes. If the contest wants their questions answered a certain way, just stand up and call the pagent an infomercial
