New Miss California Is No Better Than Prejean On Homosexuality

Worldnetdaily reports:


Tami Farrell, the newly crowned beauty queen who is replacing the ousted Carrie Prejean as Miss California, apparently holds the same view as her predecessor, Carrie Prejean, that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Fox News host Neil Cavuto asked Farrell, who is Christian, on his show today:"[Prejean] went out and said that a marriage is between a man and a woman. Do you share that view?"

Farrell responded in the affirmative with a simple, "Uh huh."

"You do, OK," said Cavuto.

Farrell quickly added: "I don't think that I have the right or anybody has a right to tell somebody who they can or can't love. And I think that this is a civil rights issue. And I think that the right thing to do is let the voters decide."

Earlier in the interview, Cavuto asked, "Do you mind my asking you, Tami, how you feel, about gay marriage since this has been such a hot issue with your predecessor?"

Farrell's response: "You know, I think it's hilarious right now that the world is turning to beauty queens for the answers for this. I think it's an important issue and I think that it's one that I don't think I can win a battle. I don't want to be any more divisive than it's already become."

Donald Trump, owner of the pageant, said he fired the Miss USA runner-up not for her stance against same-sex marriage, but for failing to make required appearances, as well as unauthorized attendance at other events.

"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so," Trump said. "Unfortunately it just doesn't look like it is going to happen."

End quote.

First of all, God condemns homosexuality period. It is our duty as Christians to also condemn (not approve, which Farrell did as well as Prejean by lowering Truth to mere opinion) such a unnatural lifestyle and warn those who are in it that if they don't repent they will go to Hell as Scripture clearly proclaims. This is not an optional view and its not an issue to leave open to mere opinion or fear of being divisive.

Jesus came to bring a sword, not peace, to whole households because the Truth of Him divides the elect from the unelect (Matt. 10). Truth cannot accept falsehood.

These women certainly are not taking God's stand. HE is vividly clear on homosexuality. Why can't those who claim the name of Christ do likewise? Could it be that they fear man rather than God? Could it be that they merely wear the label "Christian" but in fact are not?
