Quest for infamy woman7/11/2023 Organization for Marriage, whose mission is to block same-sex marriage ![]() LiMandri has acted on behalf of the National More directly, in my day job as a lawyer, I had the unenviableĮxperience of going toe-to-toe with Carrie Prejean and her lawyerĬharles LiMandri. ![]() Given the murmuring in the audience, I wondered sitting there whether this young woman would leverage her YouTube moment to rise to infamy. I was in the audience at the Miss USA 2009 pageant in Las Vegas when Carrie Prejean infamously gave her "no offense" comments opposing gay marriage in response to a question from judge Perez Hilton. I have some experience with this phenomenon - and not just because I am a fan of beauty pageants. How about "Sashes Against Same-Sex Marriage"? "Beauty Queens Against the Queens"? Or "Crowns Opposed to Marriage Equality"? Before you know it, a new organization could emerge with some fierce acronyms. Perhaps we should give this trend a nifty moniker. The city of Beverly Hills swiftly issued a statement disclaiming any affiliation with her.) This makes me wonder whether we are seeing the start of a new trend with this fiery formula - beauty queens who cite their religious beliefs to oppose marriage equality in order to gain (or extend) 15 minutes of fame. (Lauren is actually from Pasadena, but under the rules of the Miss California USA Pageant was able to claim the mantle of Miss Beverly Hills. Before this, she was a relatively unknown state pageant contestant-to-be who does not even hail from Beverly Hills. Not surprisingly, Miss Beverly Hills's publicly-voiced opinion triggered a wave of recent press coverage and backlash against her for a too-literal, naive reading of Scripture. Lauren Ashley has gotten even more specific than Carrie Prejean she has quoted the Book of Leviticus's directive to "put to death" any man who "lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman" to support her belief that the Bible is "pretty black and white" about condemning homosexual relations. Now, we have "Miss Beverly Hills" Lauren Ashley - who intends to compete for the Miss California USA crown in November - voicing her opposition to same-sex marriage based on her literal reading of the Bible. In 2009 decrowned Miss California USA Carrie Prejean used that formula to ride on the unexpected fame triggered by her "opposite marriage" interview answer at the Miss USA pageant. The result is a combustible media firestorm sure to bring the beauty queen overnight notoriety.
