City of Beverly Hills says 'Miss Beverly Hills' is a fraud, disavows her stance on gay marriage
February 24, 2010 | 12:49 pm
Lauren Ashley, a Miss California USA contestant and outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, claims Beverly Hills as the city
she represents. Beverly Hills lays no claim to her whatsoever.

Quite the opposite. In a statement Wednesday, the city said it was shocked by Ashley's description of herself as "Miss Beverly Hills." The city "does not
sponsor a beauty pageant and has no association with Miss California USA," the statement said. "As such, there should be no individual claiming the title
of Miss Beverly Hills."

The city's statement said Ashley lives in Pasadena and "does not represent Beverly Hills in any capacity."

Ashley, 23, has been quoted extensively as saying same-sex marriage goes against God. She recently told news organizations that "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.

Thou shall not lie.

Well that didn't take long did it? :rofl:

Now I wonder if her home "personal video" is still going to show up?

6. dye job, lip injections, and heavy make up
Edited on Wed Feb-24-10 05:01 PM by Botany
and having a good photographer can go a long way to being a natural beauty




From the article their is a Miss Beverly Hills but the contest is in L.A. and run by a production company
the city of Beverly Hills is now seeking legal redress to stop them from using their name.

I think Ms. phony B.H. wanted to get some of that right wing fundy money and saw this as her
chance to do just that.

7. Doesn't seem too . .. "pageanty".
I mean, I wouldn't kick her out if I didn't know she was a fundie tool, but beauty contestants have a certain plastique perfect look to them. This one doesn't have that going on, speaking in the strict sense of what pageants want.

Leviticus 11: 9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Jesus never deputized pageant hos to spew hate on his behalf?

Who knew?

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

(The quote was about Western materialism, but it applies to so many things that those who call themselves Christians say and do, supposedly because of their Christianity, yet are directly contrary to the words and deeds the NT attributes to Christ.


Forget who "really" said them. Forget if the historical Jesus ever existed. Forget if Jesus is the Son of God. Forget if God even exists or not. Just read the words and deeds and see if anything resonates with you as a goal or two for how you would like to live your life. And then, contemplate how they would have resonated two thousand years ago (more or less)in a land under the heel of Rome and its local puppets.

That is my wish.

Meanwhile, I am going with calling the haters "Leviticans," as you brilliantly suggest.

how could Beverly Hills, CA..with all the creative people there have a rep like this reptile?

That's her? She looks more like a hooker on Sunset Blvd.

After all, the name Lauren Ashley is pretty similar to the name of a noted porn star, "Ashley Lauren".

porn star was born in 1973.

25. This all smells of a publicity stunt
What better way to get your name splashed thru all the news then a stunt like this? For all we know, she probably has no issue with homosexuality but knows that talking negative about it ESPECIALLY in California, will get you headline news.

55. LOL! Of course!
The "dress up" bozo of the Republican Party has already been a phone repairman and a pimp. This was obviously the next step.

(I heard he once dressed up in a flight jacket on an aircraft carrier and posed in front of a "Mission Accomplished" sign, too. He's a stitch, that O'Keefe--literally! Oh wait, that was another "dress up" bozo of the Republican Party. )

21. THAT is who tried to pass herself off as Miss Beverly Hills?
What a laugh. My wife at age 57½, after cancer and no artificial ingredients, is prettier, has a better figure and a MUCH less lame expression on her face. Since physical beauty seems to carry more weight in these phony "Miss" contests than most anywhere else, the last place a young woman like this should try to pull off this kind of a fraud is Beverly Hills, especially in a beauty contest that doesn't even exist.

22. Why do I suspect this has nothing to do with her opinion on homosexuality.....
Edited on Wed Feb-24-10 04:43 PM by LynneSin
...and everything to do with a publicity stunt?

I mean, it got Carrie Prejean a ton of publicity and a book deal. From the photo, she really doesn't look much like a future beauty pagaent queen - if anything she looks a bit dull.

But now she's being headline on all the news channels and blogged in the LA Times.

I really do suspect this is more a publicity stunt.

If the Miss Beverly Hills stunt failed her next step would have been to try out for Survivor.

40. So when can we start killing the gays?
It kills me that these people constantly reference the Bible as a literal how-to, yet are never challenged on its lunacy.

She shouldn't be allowed to stand there and say the Bible says 'God' is against the gay... without being challenged that she is also then advocating that the Bible/'God' says that gays acting on their sexual preference should be put to death. Does she believe that any same-sex sexual act warrants death?

Even if you want to buy Leviticus whole, at least as it has come down to us, saying someone will die is not the same as as suggesting WE kill them. Not that I would not recommend buying Leviticus whole to begin with.

That's not a "beauty queen." Come on.

And it looks like she's either got gas, or God's kicking her ass for a Leviticus 11:10 (bad clam) violation.

Speaking of which, this woman fakes being Ms. Beverly Hills and spews homophobic hate, and a lot of posts on this thread worry about whether she is physically attractive or not?

All righty, then!
