What is it with beauty queens and homophobia? Miss Beverly Hills 2010 is the latest crown holder to vomit Biblical objections to same-sex marriage. Lauren Ashley, who looks an awful lot like one of those dead-eyed adult movie actresses who spend the day on their back in a studio in Van Nuys, fucking for the camera, issued this stunning attack against gay people:

“The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says, ‘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 Bible is pretty black and white.”

She goes on:

“I feel like God himself created mankind and he loves everyone, and he has the best for everyone. If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that’s a pretty stern warning, and he knows more than we do about life.”

Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. What are we going to do with you? The Bible is chuck-full of bizarre and outrageous quotes. Here are a few for you to consider:

God places a dollar value on human life; with women worth less than men. Leviticus 27:3-7

Kill all the men and boys in the cities that God “delivers into your hands,” but keep the women for raping. Deuteronomy 20:13-15

Women that wear men’s clothing are an “abomination unto the Lord.” Deuteronomy 22:5

Moses wants us to rape! Numbers 31:7-18

“No wickedness comes anywhere near the wickedness of a woman. Sin began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die.” Ecclesiastics 25:19,24

My point is, if Miss Beverly Hills 2010 doesn’t like gay folks and is personally opposed to marriage equality, fine, she’s entitled to her opinion but don’t use the Bible to justify her homophobia.
