While you can’t say for sure whether or not Miss California’s Carrie Prejean would have won the Miss USA 2009 pageant if she answered Perez Hilton’s gay marriage question differently – one thing is for sure – Carrie Prejean is making headlines for her views on the gay marriage debate.

Check out Miss California Carrie Prejean in the Miss USA 2009 pageant question/answer video clip, where she addresses legalizing gay marriage, saying, “In my country, and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.”

Carrie Prejean is sticking to her answer, however, saying: “It did cost me my crown. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do. It is a very touchy subject and [Hilton] is a homosexual and I see where he was coming from and I see the audience would’ve wanted me to be more politically correct. But I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything.”
