Re: (Ex-) Miss California sues Miss USA pageant
Why?
She was already miss California when the Perez incident happened.
The Perez incident probably did not impact whether or not she became Miss USA.
However, the blowout of her position being exposed may have been what resulted in her being fired, and those decisions do not require that they had the questions asked on purpose to be discriminatory.

Trump gave the go ahead to fire her because she missed dozens of events, so I highly doubt that she has a case--though maybe she's just looking for some cash.

Fake-Boobed Dingbat Homophobe Carrie Prejean Lands Book Deal!
As Sarah Palin proved to a disgusted nation, you don’t need to know how to write or even read to get a book deal in End Times America. All you need to be is a disgraced former beauty contestant who hates the same fruits and coloreds as Red State America, where illiteracy is no barrier to buying, say, a Glenn Beck book at the Wal-Mart. What do you call a dumb bigot with big hair, high heels and a few pounds of makeup? How about America’s Next Top Author?
Carrie Prejean delighted Americans last year or whenever, because Perez Hilton made her say she simply does NOT care for the homosexuals doing the things white people do, such as have weddings. Then, of course, Miss Christianity was found to be a typical soft-porn Internet model, as most Christian teen-age girls turn out to be, if they’re not too obese, which rules it out for about 96% of them. Then she got fired, by Donald Trump or California, we do not remember, and now she’s got a book deal with esteemed wingnut publisher Regnery, which really needed a less used-up-looking Ann Coulter type to move units at CostCo.

Her real name is Barbie Stepford.

You don't reckon she's a practitioner of "abstinence only" as well as a supporter of "traditional marriage?"
I expect she advocates for traditional values while operating her personal life in a completely different way. The only difference in sexual behavior between churchy chicks and regular chicks is the churchy ones use protection at a much lower rate. But they smurf as much as their secular sisters, if not moreso.

Probably depends upon the church.
And I'm not sure that's even true, you may be more likely to see pregnant teens in church because they are less likely to have abortions.
But I do understand you get pleasure in mocking churches.

I have a front row seat to the hard core evangelicals here in OK and religious news is reported like real news round here. It is a well known problem and concern of the churches that their massage is not effecting the behavior of their female youth. It is an interesting situation, seems that self described Christian young men have a much lower rate of sex outside of marriage than their peers outside the church but young women who self describe as Christian have sex at the same rate as the infidels.
I am genuinely curious why the Christian massage seems to resonate with young men but seems to miss the mark with young women. The Pastors and Ministers here wonder why as well.

He's mocking hypocrites.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

So your view is slanted by what is reported in your local media, and not based on actual studies that show higher sexual behavior among church going youth.

res, there are more religious colleges and universities within 30 miles of me than there are in half the rest of the country. OKC is the center of evangelical thought, research and study. The polls and studies I have been talking about are products of those institution, NOT data conjured up by anti-evangelicals.
