Why Is Everyone Up Miss California's Ass?

So what if she personally feels that marriage is between a man and a woman (or opposites as she put it)? It is her opinion and one that is held by half of the country including the President of the United States. So the President gets his own line of Chia Pets and Miss California gets publicly mocked by a disgustingly cunty troll like Perez Hilton. It just seems a tad unfair in my book.
Sure I disagree with her, I am for gay marriage, polygamy and anything else short of involving children, blood relations, and animals but I don't begrudge Carrie Prejean her opinion especially since it is based on how she was raised. She didn't come down as being virulenty opposed to gay marriage and would fight to the death to preserve traditional marriage, she just said it was not something she was personally in favor of.
And at least she answered the question honestly which is more than can be said for the other broads she was up against. They all danced around answering their questions like they were on the campaign trail or something.
