Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has been fired for hating gays and discouraging their pursuit of happiness.  The recently de-throned pageant winner made headlines when she spoke out against gay marriage.  Claiming that she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.  "If you let the gays marry then the gays will breed and that will lead to more gays and a weaker military and less chance of a peaceful victory to the conflict in our war of Iraq thus far such as."  

In the end, it was her unwillingness to fulfill her obligations that lead to her termination.  She failed to show up to at a benefit luncheon for fashion designers injured in the line of backstage meltdowns.  She was also a no show as a judge for the San Francisco Pug Parade.  

This controversy is a quick reminder of Miss Illinois USA (1918) when she spoke out against women's suffrage.  Her crown was revoked when she was discovered drunk at a speakeasy in her tiara and sash screaming, "Vote, I'll vote.  This dame votes for more gin."

In Prejean's place, Miss California USA runner up will be attending this week's Poultry Festival or as locals call it the Golden Cockfest, which has little to do with chicken but is, nontheless, incredibly festive.
