Because Controversy is fun: More Pageant Reactions

Soooooooo...who knew that gay marriage was such a hot button issue?

US Magazine, which is apparently the New York Times of gossip magazines, used all of its massive investigative journalistic resources and managed to gather tweets from the top celebrity Christians in Hollywood, and guess what? All Christian chicks except Miss California support gay marriage!!

Except that its Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Heidi Montag. Not exactly the Murderer's Row of Christian doctrine, if you ask me. Let's look at this one at a time, shall we?

Britney. Would anyone expect her to feel any differently? One, I thought she went Khabbalah, and two, if you look at my good friend Molly's blog about going to her show--its one huge pride festival WITH Perez Hilton, who is at the heart of this controversy anyway.

Heidi Montag. I know what you believers out there are thinking:

No! Not Heidi Montag! My entire faith system is crumbling to its core! What am I going to do?

Which you might then follow up by saying, well, as much as this hurts me, I could see this coming. I mean, she hangs out with homosexuals all the time on Project Runway.

Which I would then have to say...no, that's Heidi KLUM.

So who is Heidi Montag?

Good question. Turns out, she's this chick (P.S., I couldn't really find a decent--by which I mean non-bikini or skimpy clothed-- picture of the girl to link to. Just beware if you Google her) on The Hills. And, she's one of the most disliked people on planet earth. She's famous for not really being famous but acting like she's really famous. She's got this guy Spencer she's allegedly marrying for love (not publicity), and she's so Christian that in one thing I read about her she said that when she and Spencer sleep together in the same bed, she'll put a pillow in between them so as to protect her purity. She also allegedly supported John McCain last fall, but has recently been photographed wearing Obama gear. She is the most blatant and actually says she supports gay marriage.

Here's my point. When she's in your top 3 Christian twitter responders supporting gay marriage, you're grasping. Plus, it seems like this might actually be one of those reverse psychology moves by anti-gay marriage groups. "I'm on the same side of this issue with HER? I might have to re-evaluate a few things here."

Now Miley. She's a sweet girl. I admit, I enjoy the Hannah Montana television program. But I don't even read her comments as supporting gay "marriage" but rather voicing support for gay PEOPLE.

"Jesus loves you AND your partner and wants you to know how much He cares!" Cyrus said. "Like I said, everyone deserves to be happy."

Later, she added, "I am a Christian and I love you - gay or not - BECAUSE you are no different than anyone else! We are all God's children."

These comments don't sound too terribly different than how my good friend Molly suggested Christians should respond to the question of gay marriage, trying to build bridges, rather than amplify a divide. And not to mention its obvious those tweets were 100% written by her publicist.

In all seriousness, it is really important to know that God does in fact love us, and it doesn't matter who we are or where we've been. He has laid out before us the choice between life and death. True life can only be found in the hope that Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, but was crucified on a Roman cross as the penalty for the sins committed by you and by me, that he died, was buried, but rose from the grave in victory over sin and death. None of us are perfect. None of us can meet God's law, whether we are heterosexual or homosexual. We're all in need of saving. Only Jesus makes a way for us. And it is THAT love and being in a relationship with Him that is what is of great importance.
