Default The Mrs. USA drama

Story here:
FOXNews.com - Miss California vs. Perez Hilton: A Question of Beliefs? - Greta Van Susteren | On The Record With Greta

Bascially it boils down to a contestant getting asked by an openly gay judge weather or not she supports gay marriage. She says simply that her and her family's beliefs are that a marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. She is then promptly booed off stage and loses her crown over it.

What I am most confused about is that this group of people, the ones booing, are the same people who preach tolerance and respect for everyone's views. Put it this way: One of the judges is a hog butcher, one of the contestants is a muslim hottie, she gets asked which part of the hog she likes the best and replies with "None, me and my family believe it to be a dirty animal and we dont support eating it".

Would she have been booed? Would her answer affect the outcome of the competition?

You and I both know the answer is a firm *no*.
