Carrie Prejean claims that since she said a marriage should be between a man and a woman, she lost her chance to be Miss USA. Carrie was from California and her question was presented to her by Perez Hilton (the gay blogger).
"Miss California is not backing down from the answer regarding gay marriage she gave on Sunday night's Miss USA telecast.
"I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," she said on the live broadcast. "No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

One person who was offended was Keith Lewis, co-director the Miss California competition, which Prejean won to make it into the Miss USA pageant. Lewis told FOXNews.com that he was "saddened" by Prejean's statement.
"I am personally ... hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," said Lewis in a statement.
