I believe it does not have any merit. She was fired because she did not perform the duties of her title. The whole gay marriage issue is really a nonissue with regards to the reason she lost her crown.

If you want to talk about the gay marriage issue, I would like to point out that 600 years ago, everyone thought the world was flat. 300 years ago, everyone thought slavery was okay. 75 years ago, African-Americans were still being made to use separate facilities so white man didn't get black man germs (I suppose that was the reasoning). As we evolve and become better and better human beings, imagine what we will know 30 years, 60 years, 200 years from now? Could it be that we will learn that homosexuals are human beings and deserve the same rights and privileges as everyone else? I would bet the farm on that! So, to those who still feel gay marriage is an atrocity, I must point out that we as humans are constantly evolving.

If they had asked Ms. Prejean what her stance on racism was, she would have probably said it's an atrocity. However, if the pageant had taken place 200 years ago, what do you think her answer would have been? We can only wonder, but I'm betting her answer probably would have included the N-word.

The moral of the story is that we are all God's children and, yes, he loves every single one of us regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, or whatever bad habits we might have because we are his children. To feel any other way, in my opinion, is an atrocity to God's very existence.
