Usually practiced by those on the left of the political
spectrum when they are confronted with an
opinion or
belief that is different than theirs.
During the Miss America Pageant, When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly
gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay
marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex
marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a
man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
Carrie Prejean was sneered and booed at by the audience and confronted with such abject
hate and intolerance by the audience and many liberals for her opinion that many of the gay
men at the event
wondered aloud why the judges did not discriminate against her for her beliefs. The question came up as to why Carrie Prejean was not thrown out of the competition for her stand on gay marriage.
