The Rock Church press release continues:
"During the question and answer portion of Sunday’s Miss USA pageant, Prejean expressed her belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman, touching off a firestorm of widely publicized criticism from pageant judge and nationally known celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. In subsequent appearances, Prejean has stood fast in her morals and Biblical truths, refusing to compromise her faith.
Sunday's services will feature a discussion with the Rock’s Senior Pastor Miles McPherson, who spent time with Prejean in the critical hours following the pageant. They will share the story behind the controversy that we haven’t heard."

Best quote on the issue found on Digg:
"Sadly, there is no tolerance in Twinkieland where abnormal is considered normal, lies are considered truths, unhappiness masks as gaiety and a decent and strong woman who speaks from the heart instead of a script is viciously and deliberately attacked. The rejection of normality continues unabated."
