Miss California Defends Gay Marriage Answer

Miss California Carrie Prejean may have lost the Miss USA Crown due to her bumbled response to a question from Perez Hilton on gay marriage. You can watch the clip above.

Carrie told Billy Bush of Access Hollywood on Monday: “It 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 [Perez Hilton] 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,” she added. “But I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything.”

Prejean also told Access Hollywood that her sister is a gay rights activist.
