People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn't Make Pornographic Sex Tapes

by Michael A. Jones

category: Republican Party and LGBT Rights

Published November 05, 2009 @ 08:58AM PT

Hypocrisy is a six-letter word today, and it's spelled: C-A-R-R-I-E. As in Carrie Prejean, the former Miss USA contestant who made a name for herself by barnstorming the country this year telling people that gay marriage was icky, and that "opposite marriage" was the ticket to salvation. Prejean was practically adopted by the conservative religious right this year, speaking to everyone from Young Republicans to evangelical Christians about how LGBT people were a threat to the family.

What Prejean didn't tell her conservative cadres is that while she was crisscrossing the country bashing gays and lesbians who wanted to get married, she was hiding the fact that she had a starring role in an extremely graphic sex tape. So much for those superior moral values, eh Carrie?

Prejean's star among the religious right grew like wildfire this year, with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) seducing her to star in commercials, and NOM's head, Maggie Gallagher, writing a puff piece for the National Review that touted Carrie Prejean's ability to ignite the Republican Party base on the issue of same-sex marriage. Does a sex tape end her career as the next Ann Coulter? Probably not. But does it knock her off her "heterosexuality is morally superior" soapbox? Here's hoping.

Prejean is just another in a long line of Republicans that say nasty things about LGBT people in the public circle, but then apparently say even nastier things in the bedroom. It's glaring that in 2009, some of the staunchest members of the "family values" crowd took serious hits to their reputation, from Mark Sanford to John Ensign, for getting their kink on. And of course, who can forget David Vitter and his penchant for sex with prostitutes.

Guess it's time to create a new political party and call it the "Do as I Say, Don't Do as I Do" crowd.

Do as I say, don't do as I do is one of the most employed ideologies in existence.

Hypocrisy is such a rampant attribute in society today.

Its like a fad or something.

Carrie Prejean is an intolerant conservative with an incorrect view of LGBT rights. The LGBT rights movement is noble, whereby Carrie Prejean and other hypocritic conservatives are not even near the high standard as fighting for equality for LGBT people while being ethical at the same time. Carrie Prejean shouldn't be remembered primarily for her incorrect view of same-sex marriage, but rather as a hypocrite who likes to star in pornography.

Carrie Prejean has a hypocritical attitude. Carrie is both a swimsuit model and a pornstar? I thought that since she is a deeply-religious person of the Christian faith she was taught to be physically modest and practice chastity. I find it very offensive that a pornstar is telling LGBT people that their relationships are wrong and unacceptable, how shameful!

Carrie "Pornstar" Prejean. If you abbreviate her name its C.P.P, which is pronounced "See pee-pee". Get what I mean? Pee-pee as in male reproductive organs.

Didn't think about that Ivy, but you do have a point. Carrie Prejean is full of shit. She's no more a Christian role model than Hitler was a good Catholic. She looks fake and over made up--she's also a hypocrite. Not OK for LGBTQ people to marry the ones they love, but posing for underwear ads and starring in porno videos are??!!
