Miss USA 2009 runner up Carrie Prejean may file suit for discrimination


Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean, who was against the legalization of gay marriage in California, may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the pageant for discrimination. Miss California had picked gay judge Perez Hilton’s question whether every state should make same-sex marriages legal.

Prejean spoke against the possibility and it was suggested that it was her negative answer that may have stabbed her chances of winning. Now, legal analyst Mercedes Colwin has said that Prejean may have grounds to turn to court.

However, Judge Andrew Napolitano, a senior legal analyst, denied the suggestion saying the suit would land in trash since the government was not involved in the contest and there was no violation of rights in that private enterprise.
