Miss California Will Keep Her Crown
Anybody been following this issue? or better yet is this an issue outside of California and the USA?
I am happy that the right decision (in my kind anyways) was taken and she was allowed to keep her crown.

A tearful Carrie Prejean defended her crown against critics who said the answer to her question on gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant and the semi-nude photos that surfaced after the contest were enough to have her title stripped.
"I am a strong woman," Prejean said, "and because of that I'm ready to move forward and be the best Miss California that I can be."
Prejean, who became teary-eyed during her speech today, said she was asked a "politically charged" question during the Miss USA pageant by a judge with a "hidden agenda."
"I believe no one should be silenced if they're speaking from their heart," she said through tears.
"On April 19 on that stage, I exercised my freedom of speech and I was punished for doing so," she sobbed. "This should not happen in America."
Prejean was asked her views on gay marriage during the April contest by celebrity judge Perez Hilton -- and the beauty queen claimed she got low marks for saying she didn't believe in same-sex marriage.
Carrie also acknowledged the sexy semi-nude photos -- including the latest round published on TMZ -- and said the images released today were taken by a photographer who snapped the racy shots unbeknownst to her.

Donald Trump defended the contestant and said the photos were "acceptable" and in "many cases" they were "lovely."
"Carrie will remain Miss California," he said. "She, I believe, will do a fantastic job. ... We're very proud of her. She's really taken a tremendous amount of abuse."
