On stage for her fourth try at becoming Miss Virginia on June 27, 21-year-old Caressa Cameron was hit with a heart-stopping interview question. A judge asked her about California’s controversial Proposition 8, an initiative against same-sex marriage. In April’s Miss USA pageant, Miss California Carrie Prejean faced a similar query on same-sex marriage. Prejean ignited a firestorm when she said marriage should be strictly between a man and a woman—an answer that she claims cost her the Miss USA crown.
