LAUREN Ashley’s dream of becoming the next Miss California is turning into a bit of a nightmare.
After telling the world that she was currently Miss Beverly Hills, the Christian fundie – labelled “a dumb bitch” by celebrity gossip columnist Perez Hilton for her homophobic remarks – was publicly disowned by the city of Beverly Hills.
Lauren Ashley, the 'dumb bitch' who thinks Leviticus has authority in the 21st century
In a news released issued this week, the city denounced her anti-gay remarks on the TV show Pop Tarts, and declared:
Ms Ashley resides in Pasadena and is currently a contestant for the Miss California USA title. She does not represent Beverly Hills in any capacity. The City of Beverly Hills strongly condemns Ms. Ashley’s recent statements and has contacted pageant officials to determine ways to formally prevent any beauty contestants claiming the title of Miss Beverly Hills in the future.
According to this report, a representative from the City Council told Pop Tarts that the mayor and the entire council were very upset by Ashley’s comments and the council will decide whether or not to take the issue up with the Miss Universe Organization, co-owned by Donald Trump and NBC.
But while the City of Beverly Hills is shunning the pageant princess, who expressed support for the ghastly Carrie Prejean, she has garnered strong support from the National Organization for Marriage.
Gran Canaria's Miss Bevery Hills
NOM’s President, Maggie Gallagher, blathered:
I’m not surprised that Miss Beverly Hills, Lauren Ashley, opposes gay marriage – after all 45 percent of young Californians voted for Prop 8, as did 7 million Californians generally … The elected officials of city of Beverly Hills are not demonstrating tolerance or kindness by continuing the avalanche of hatred against supporters of Prop 8.
Ashley originally told Pop Tarts she was against gay marriage and quoted the Bible’s Old Testament as saying:
If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.
The media storm that ensued interpreted her words with headlines such as “Miss Beverly Hills Wants Gays Put to Death” and “God Wants Gays Dead, Says Beauty Queen.”
Note: Lauren Ashley should not be confused with international drag queen Miss Beverly Hills, a Geordie fella now based in Gran Canaria.

Good looks disguising an ugly personality.

Maybe she should wear modest clothing, shut her mouth, mind her business and submit to men like the Bible says. But of course for busybody fundagelicals like her the Bible is for bashing others,not application to one’s own life.

I’m glad to see The Freethinker quoting Paris Hilton as an authority: I believe she’s almost completed her second doctorate.

It’s ‘Perez Hilton’….the dude that runs a celebrity gossip website.

Also wearing makeup and wearing jewelry is condemned in the same section. Amazing how these brainless fundies scream out one section of hate but not the others.
And that is Perez Hilton not paris hilton.
One is a guy and the other is a ‘dump blond’ or at least acts like one.

are there no stories yet about some bible basher saying that the earthquake in Chile was a punishment from god for some reason or another??

Maybe that’s why I keep coming here. Each time it’s hilarious human idiocy. Women who think they can put some saline bags behind their tits and become more attractive. Well, perhaps until you remove your bra, then you look like someone attached a couple of basketballs to your rib cage.
And this particular beauty queen wannabe, if you put a beard on her she could pass for a guy easily. Put a wig on Matt Damon he’d be cuter than that bitch.
But, what’s hilarious is that people competing to be judged the most beautiful are ever even asked their dumbass opinions. And then someone actually publishes it????? LMFAO!!! Which ring is the next act in this circus?

This is very witty, and reiterates what @Cybrgnx said, above:

I was amazed at the comments attributed to Maggie Gallagher here, viz: “The elected officials of city of Beverly Hills are not demonstrating tolerance or kindness by continuing the avalanche of hatred against supporters of Prop 8.”
This could not possibly be the same Maggie Gallagher who is associated with views like these: “So imagine the dismay of many to learn that, in an effort to educate its students, Wheaton has moved to the left, so much so that in a survey by the Wheaton Record, 60 percent of its faculty voted for President Barack Obama, the most pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, spiritually confused president the nation has ever elected.”
There’s a lot more evidence of this “tolerant” and “kind” language, especially with respect to homosexuals, to be found here:

BTW: If you take out a subscription to the excellent Town Hall magazine, on which Maggie Gallagher is a columnist (“the monthly news and opinion journal from the same team of right-thinking reporters, opinion makers, insiders and political leaders conservatives have trusted for 15 years…the place to find interviews with and profiles and writings of some of your favorite conservatives”), you will be rewarded with a FREE copy of Sarah Palin’s book! My “check” is already in the post!!

Beauty Queens!! Well, they should read less of the Bible and more of anything else! It’s sad really.

I’ve seen that clip before, Normand, but I’d forgotten all about it. One fifth of Americans can’t locate their own country on a map because they “don’t have maps” – priceless! Perhaps Sarah Palin could put this girl’s enormous intellect to use when writing her next book!!

Somewhat belatedly, the link above will take you to a page where there’s another In God We Trust poll that we can all help influence, this one entitled:
“Should the President meet with groups that believe Christianity is “an enemy to humanity” and “a danger to mental health?”
So far the fundies are way ahead. But I’m sure we can turn this one around too.

At least most beauty queens are beautiful…this gal looks just plain mean.
Sarah Palin at least looks like she’d make an effort to be nice to you even if she didn’t agree with you…this one looks like she’d bring her friends to beat you up in the middle of the night and key your car…

Broadsword –
‘Good looks’? She looks like a bit of a munter to me… with views to match.
Still, she knows how to generate a bit of publicity, eh?

I told my son that I would not screw that bitch with his dick, and he said he said he would screw her with mine. I was deeply hurt. How could he do that?
