but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California's comments regarding gay marriage.Why was the question even asked, then?
Each judge apparently got to write a question important to them - at least that’s what I think happened because Miss California’s answer was directed to Perez Hilton who is openly gay (and whom the host mentioned along with the question).
Exactly, if they are concerned about a possible answer, they should not have asked the question.
