God wants gays dead, says beauty queen | News.com.au
CARRIE Prejean isn't the only beauty queen open to expressing her objection to same-sex marriage.
Miss Beverly Hills 2010 Lauren Ashley is also speaking out in support of traditional nuptials, Fox News reported.
"The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman," Ms Ashley told Fox News.
"In Leviticus it says: 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.'
"The Bible is pretty black and white
"I feel like God himself created mankind and he loves everyone, and he has the best for everyone.
"If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that's a pretty stern warning, and he knows more than we do about life."
Ms Ashley, 23, will be representing Beverly Hills in the Miss California pageant in November.
Her statements mirror former Miss California Carrie Prejean's answer to a question about same-sex marriage in last year's Miss USA pageant.
At the time, Ms Prejean said her answer opposing same sex marriage cost her the title.
But with the Miss California Pageant still months away, and Ms Ashley already echoing the views that got Ms Prejean in trouble last year, is she concerned that she may ruin her chances of taking home the tiara?
"That isn't really the issue," she said.
"I have a lot of friends that are gay, and ... I have a lot of friends who have different views, and we share our views together.
"There's no hate between me and anyone."
And according to the Miss California state director, Keith Lewis, a contestant's personal opinion should have no bearing on the result.
"The Miss California USA system has always had a place for an individual's thoughts and opinions when it comes to all sides of political issues," Mr Lewis told Pop Tarts.
"It is an organisation which empowers women, and everyone is entitled to their own beliefs."
