Carrie Prejean, a contestant for Miss America, didn't believe that this land was made for you and me, and it cost her the crown. Perez Hilton, a judge for the event, said that her answer to his gay marriage question is what kept Carrie from being as big a queen as he is.

Perez asked the Miss California, "Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?

Her response:

"Well I think its great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.

Watching the video above, people actually cheered for her response, but she quickly went downhill head-first after that. Not only did that answer keep her from winning, but the Internet backlash has been smacking her in the face since it happened. How insane is it that in a contest known for it's overly-happy smiles-n-giggles no-thought answers to questions, the right one was actually pro-gay marriage. Our country is in better shape than I thought. Now, if we could only all agree on the answer to the real tough questions, like why are all these VH1 reality shows so addicting? Why do I care that Ray J found love?
