Miss California and Gay Marriage

Ok, I read an article on FoxNews.com and it made me want to start my own blog. I've had blogs before... but this will be one of my own.
The article I read referred to Miss California's response when asked by blogger Perez Hilton about gay marriage. Her response was, "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think 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." Now my problem is not w/ her response. It's with the backlash Miss C is getting from practically EVERYONE in hollywood and in the beauty world.
The guy who runs the Miss C pagent said that he was saddenned by her response and that it hurt him deeply. Heidi Montag from The Hills said that she is a strong Christian and, ""Lesbians should have the same government rights that Spencer and I will when we get married. So, yes, this blonde Christian believes in gay marriage. God says not to judge and I would never try to judge ANYONE! Nor should our "free" country." An anchor for E! News called Miss C a disgrace. Many in hollywood are saying that Miss C should be stripped of her crown.
First, WHAT?!? Seriously? The question asked for her opinion. She gave it. Period. Agree with it or not, she gave what she thought. Secondly, Heidi Montag... "this blonde Christian believes in gay marriage... God says not to judge" God also says (actually I'm pretty sure he says it more than the judgement verse that you misquoted and misapplied) that homosexuality is a sin in His eyes. Premarital sex is a sin. Murder is a sin. Lying is a sin. It is very clear in God's Word. Homosexuals, murderers, liars, cowards, etc... will not inherit the kingdom of God. I do not understand how a person can stand and call themself a Christian and in the same breath say that they approve of gay marriage.
As for the anchor for E! News and for the guy who runs the Miss C thing. Wow. I think it is a far cry of being a disgrace and causing saddness. I could see if she stood up and said "I think it's perfectly fine to beat women and murder children." Then yes, that would be a disgrace and would cause me saddness. But honestly, the fact that she believes marriage is between a man and a woman?
To make a long rant short (well not really... it's pretty long) this is but an example of what is wrong with our culture. Where is the morality that existed a few decades ago? It's also being said that her statement is what cost her the crown of being Miss USA. I bet that makes the winner (Miss NC) feel really good. "Hey Miss NC... you won b/c Miss C doesn't like gay people."
Whatever comes of all this, I hope that those who support her will let her know. I hope that this will not cause people to hide their true feelings and beliefs.
As for me, I believe very strongly that marriage is between a man and a woman. I also believe it is wrong to steal, kill, lie, and be mean to puppy dogs (unless they go # 2 in your yard). You can agree with me or disagree with me. Its up to you.
Love God... Love people... Serve the world...
