Homophobia Runs in the Family
May 10, 2009 by James
A second racy lingerie photo has emerged of Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean – as well as some details about her past that may shed some light on the beauty queen’s well-publicized views against gay marriage.
Prejean’s publicist says Prejean posed for the photos when she was 17 in order to land a modeling job. Prejean herself defended the first image, saying, “I am a Christian, and I am a model … Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos.”
Prejean, whose anti-gay marriage comments during the Miss USA pageant thrust her into the national spotlight, may also have some explaining to do about a series of court documents from her parents’ messy, decade-long divorce proceedings.
The papers, dug up by TMZ.com, show that Prejean’s parents flung a series of homosexual allegations against one another.
In one of the documents, Prejean’s father describes a confrontation he had with her mother in 1996, in which “Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality.”
Another excerpt quotes a court-appointed doctor who said “The mother questioned [within hearing of the girls] whether [her father] was a homosexual or had a homosexual roommate.”
