Miss California's Mother Is Gay???

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay

wenn2397392_d1__opt12.jpg

Could Carrie Prejean's own mother be a closeted lesbian???

Oh, the horror!

A supposed ex-lover of Francine Coppola, Miss Cali's mom, is throwing Coppola out of the closet and head first the media!!!

"Yes, Francine and I dated," Valerie Vetrano proclaimed to the folks over at Star.

THE DRAMA!!!!!

Vetrano continued: "Francine explained how she was a Christian and that her loved ones would never accept her if she was gay."

But Jesus tells us to love all!

Francine and Prejean's father, Wil, divorced in 1996 and the exes hurtled gay accusations at the other, even though Wil apparently knew nothing of the affair.

One of Vetrano's friends has made it known that she believes if Carrie had known her mother was a lesbian, she'd be just a tad more tolerant of people's differences!

Explains the friend: "Valerie feels that if Francine had just been open about her sexuality with her family, Carrie would have a better understanding of what gay people have to go through. They just want equal rights."

Preach it!

    Perez, that's 'hurtled', not hurdled. Plus this 'story' could be a load of crap by an off balance fame seeker. Just saying.



  2. 2

    this is getting quite boring. don't care about all that drama anymore!



  3. 3

    boring and untrue! Smells like bullshit to me. Get over your defeat Perez



  4. 4

    LOL!!!!!!!! you always have to be careful when the press starts looking into your life. It's like when that one guy was held up as a star at the GOP convention and then turned out to be a former gay porn star and a current prostitute or on the Dem side when John Edwards affair was found out. People should never throw stones if they've got stuff in their closet.



  5. 5

    If this is true….she should hate the repression but she's to he-haw to understand that!



  6. 6

    Stop it, stop it, stop it!! No more about Miss Cal. Enough!! I'm so tired of this crap.



  7. 7

    can we PLEASE get over Miss California already??? I am SOOOOO sick of hearing about her, you really need to move on. MY GOD!!!



  8. 8

    Clarification: "Love" and "sexual relations" are NOT the same thing.



  9. 9

    I have a close Family member that is Gay and I still think Marriage should be between a man and a women. That doesn't mean I have a problem with Gay people. Perez I'm surprised you don't get the shit beat out of you every time you leave the house.



  10. 10

    She's so last week! You're giving her more face-time than she deserves!



  11. 11

    Get over it. She's said herself she hates the sin, not the sinner (in other words, she likes gays and not their marriage). The world will not end because one person disapproves of something that's already been known as a sin for years.

    There is no such thing as gay people. There IS such a thing as sodomites who choose to disobey God, such as you Mario.



  12. 12

    Do you really enjoy what these posts are doing Perez?

    It seems kind of repetitive. You post about Gay marriage, Miss California, Adam Lambert's sexuality, etc…

    The anti-gay (or anti-Perez) crowd starts writing nasty, hateful things in the comments. The gay activists are just as quick with the nasty, hateful things.

    Most of us are left with a sick feeling in our stomachs. What exactly does this all accomplish?



  13. 13

    oh yes she is



  14. 14

    i am all for parading this stupid bitch's fuck-ups for all the world to see. she wanted fame, she got it. and all the prying eyes that come with it. she's going to get exactly what she deserves.



  15. 15

    Redefining marriage and equal rights are mutually exclusive. It could go either way with gay parents, more OR less accepting. It's a psychological issue.



  16. 16

    LOL!! Take that you c**t!



  17. 17

    HER MOTHER IS MARRIED TO MRS IOWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  18. 18

    Sorry, we're done with this one. Move along to something more interesting.



  19. 19

    Please man, can we let this go. I really don't care, and never did.



  20. 20

    To all you people complaining how you are over it.. Here is a helpful hint.. Ready..? DON'T READ..! Problem solved..

    I do hope this is true.. Maybe then Carrie will see how hard it is for the gays, maybe then will she see the error of her ways…

    Perez, no matter how much you try to spin things to look bad for this girl, she'll always come out on top of you because she's acting adult. Sure, she's kinda clued out, but you're acting downright childish with your name calling and constant crusade against her. Its your OWN FAULT for handling this so poorly and destructively, suck up your losses, and move on to talk about important issues in a factual way where you can present a case to the world that doesn't involve bashing someone else, bigot.



  22. 22

    GET OVER IT MARIO! YOU LOSER, YOU GOT OWNED TWICE BY MISS CALI, HAVENT YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON YET? OR NEED MORE FLOORING OF YOUR UGLY FACE? YOU ARE CARRIE'S BITCH HAHAHAHA



  23. 23

    okay perez, I do think she's a dirty hypocrite and all, but you're taking it too far for too long. seriously? from STAR?? no one really wants to hear about her anymore.

  24. @v@ says – reply to this


    24

    So you punish the gay person by making this public? (if this is true…) If you hurt her daughter, you hurt her. Family members can even disagree about lifestyles.
    It's allowed. Drop this bone, Perez…drop it….drop it….come on, now, drop it…



  25. 25

    Stop beating this dead horse and let her climb back under a rock like all the other first losers, I mean first runner ups.



  26. 26

    Re: GeeBee – He's smart to do this. Look at the posts on these compared to others. Leads to advertising, page hits etc. I could care less about the whole issue really, but because of it, and the election coverage prior, I'll visit a few more times a day now. Not really for the "news" but for the comments. The disparity, lack of tact and overall over the top rudeness amazes me. So in that regard he succeeds even if he loses the message battle. You have to love the internet, where everyone is a 6'4", 230lb badass, afraid of no one. Of course in person this would not be the case.



  27. 27

    I smell a load of BS! I do not believe it for a second, and maybe Jesus loves you but your still going to hell sucker!



  28. 28

    DEAR PEREZ

    SMEAR CAMPAIGN, NAME CALLING, DIGGING HER DIRT WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE SHE ISNT EVEN PAYING ATTENTION ON YOU, SHE KNOWS YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT, WHATEVER YOU DO AND POST HERE, SHE IS STILL THE BIGGER PERSON BECAUSE SHE IS ACTING LIKE AN ADULT, NOT LIKE YOU OBSESSIVE AND PSYCHO UGLY PIG! NOW GO BACK FISHING SOME OTHER GOSSIP TO OTHER SITE AND RE POST HERE, THATS WHAT YOU DO BEST AND CAN ONLY DO ANYWAY. OHHHHHH LOVE WATCHING YOUR FACE DURING THE PAGEANT YOU LOOKED SO WANTING TO CRY BOOOHOOOOOOO

    I think the bottom line of all this is simple…..its not ok to be gay.

    Everyone has gay relatives but in some families they don't admit it. Gay people should stop attacking her and try to understand why she feels the way she does. It's not her fault that her family is so repressed. We are a product of our upbringing. I have gay relatives. We are Christians but everyone knows who's gay and most of us don't care. I think people are born that way. I feel sorry for Carrie. Too bad she had to find out about her mom this way.



  34. 34

    It would bolster the argument that it's BAD for children or they don't like it if it's true. It goes AGAINST a FAMILY argument in this case. The fact she lived it may make her argument/opinion more educated? Right.



  35. 35

    awesome. xo.



  36. 36

    Who the hell cares if her mom is BISEXUAL. That doesn't mean that Miss Cali can't have her own opinion. It's her Mother's choice to choose her lifestyle IF this is true. PEREZ YOU ARE AN ANAL IDIOT!



  37. 37

    Let's see how far this thrown stone flies.



  38. 38

    SHUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE FFFFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKK UUPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO GIVES A SHIT ANYMORE!????



  39. 39

    I dont know if this is true, but if it is, maybe thats a good thing, maybe she will try to understand the other side of the debate. AND If you guys are sick of it dont read it. geez.

  40. yob says – reply to this


    40

    Or because her mother is a lesbiana she hates gay people and blames us all for her parents break up! Wouldn't it be great if both her parents are gay!



  41. 41

    This could not get any better. First she becomes a hero to Fox News and other narrow-minded conservative white people by proclaiming she is an authority on what is biblically correct while she parades half-naked infront of the world. She then lies a few times about posing nude which somehow is not biblically correct but is still enough for Fox news, then we learn that while she rages against gay marriages, lies and poses nude…her mom is a queer! Dayum! You just cant make this shit up!



  42. 42

    Sometimes people make stuff up. It might not even be true. People have said that I'm gay and I have never done that. There's always some kind of rumor going around about me because I'm the shyt. None of the rumors about me are true. I ignore f^cktards. My swagger is so sicknin. :)



  43. 43

    This is probably even more of a reason for carrie to disapprove of gay marriage. give it up perez- you're a dick



  44. 44

    Maybe she can date your lesbian mother. It would be a Hallmark moment.



  45. 45

    wow this is getting old. leave it to rest perez and get over it.



  46. 46

    Carrie was not intolerant- she simply stated her own beliefs. It is amazing to see how people who express different opinions are investigated and every little thing in their lives is open for inspection and derision. I guess that's the way our country is going. Intimidate those with different beliefs- except the intimidation campaigns are often conducted by the agents of tolerance.



  47. 47

    YOU ARE SERIOUSLY AN IDIOT..

    I'm sadden by Ms. Coppola, she is obviously the big loser out of this controversy. Prejean is an ignorant bigot, but her Mother didn't do anything other than giving birth to a hatemonger.



  49. 49

    i am so sick and tired of seeing her ugly mug



  50. 50

    OK UMMM…

    A) Coppola any relation to the famous Coppolas?

    B) Did noone research these accusations before? I mean really?



  51. 51

    Re: @v@ – You said "So you punish the gay person by making this public? (if this is true…) If you hurt her daughter, you hurt her. Family members can even disagree about lifestyles."
    ____________________________________________________________-

    It would only be punishment for her mother because of people with attitudes like her daughter.



  52. 52

    Re: Lucky Lucy – You said "Carrie was not intolerant- she simply stated her own beliefs. "

    _________________________________________________________-

    How dumb are you? Beliefs can be intolerant. If the head of the Ku Klux Klan has the belief that black kids should not be allowed in the same schools as white kids, then guess what….that is his belief AND it's intolerant you idiot. Her belief is that another group should not have rights. She is intolerant, a bigot, and a hypocrit. And remember, those are my beliefs, so by your logic you can't get upset at me for having them.



  53. 53

    OMFG! People STFU! Perez can post whatever he pleases. Embrace your gay-ness people! He is not doing anything bad except writing what he has heard…like BACK OFF. that's all



  54. 54

    Who cares, people should be want they want to be. Life is too short….Let it be!

    55

    Can we say Perez laughing all the way to the bank?

    All those dumbwits saying "Perez, stop it!" "OK I'm over you" "I'm not coming back anymore" "You jerk, I'm for black rights, but don't want blacks/whites to marry" … and yada, yada, yada.

    Guess what?

    Everytime they click here, Perez makes even more $$$.
    Caching! Toooooooo funny!



  56. 56

    Keep bringing it Perez. That whole "religion" world is so whacked. I do have my faith and catholic believes, but people inside the church (all of them) want to "win" their game and they are as human and dis-honest as everyone else.



  57. 57

    Maybe Prejean's mother could convert Ms California to be gay! Isn't that what most fundies believe? Wooo that would be so f…king blessed….i can now see, blessings are reigning down from heaven!



  58. 58

    Funny how the world works. Maybe now she will stop being such a stupid bitch!



  59. 59

    So, if my Mom smoked pot, I should believe in legalizing marijuana? Or, if my Dad votes Republican, I should never vote Democrat? Even if this story is true, she has a right to her own opinion. PLEASE LET THIS GO.



  60. 60

    How wonderfully absent are the major haters from this site! Way to go Perez!



  61. 61

    all those hating on perez… just understand that in hollywood the second you throw the gays under a bus they will throw you under 7 busses. perez, do ur thing honey. carrie prejean is an ignorant slut. she deserves it. remember folks… she can say watever she wants. its her right. its also the press' right to make her look like a jackass, which she is.



  62. 62

    I knew it had to be more than just that old butt-plug getting up her ass! Suck it up, Carrie, you little lying hypocrite.



  63. 63

    I think people that have gays in their families tend to be very supportive of gay rights but where there isn't a healthy discussion or there's lots of resentment or suspicion then family members can be the most homophobic as in Carrie's case. There are lots of sites reporting now that Carrie's mom was gay and Perez is simply passing on what's reported. Alanis used to sing "isn't it ironic". Yep it sure is.



  64. 64

    Re: Bytch – So Perez is only " childish "" when he's reporting on the bigot Carrie,not the rest of the time? Or do you not like when your homophobe piglet Carrie is scrutinized like she does with gay people.



  65. 65

    Re: HiHater – I guess who you feel sorry for tells lots about a person. Do I feel sorry for a bigot fake beauty contestant who is antigay and belongs to a culty church because people think she's a bigot. NO way. Who I do feel sorry for is all the gay people that don't have rights ,who want to get married,who are thrown out of the military just because someone suspcets that they are gay. We are talking about millions or gay people treated like second class citizens and their only crime,being born gay. So no I don't feel sorry for Carrie one bit,she never learned compassion ,she never learned empathy and she never learned fairness and that's the only thing I feel sorry for her about.



  66. 66

    Re: pittisit – She has a right to her opinion,except that her opinion calls for taking rights away from other human beings,and those human beings and their friends are more than entitled to voice their anger and dismay at this bigotry. When you factor in that her mom had lesbian affairs as is reported on many sites today,it makes Carrie only seem more close minded and mean-spirited.



  67. 67

    WHO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



  68. 68

    Re: Elliebug2:) THANK YOU!



  69. 69

    If you are gay you should not be saying that her mother being a lesbian is a negative.
    SO SHUT UP

  72. 72

    When are you going to quit bullying this woman? Watch out folks, this is what liberals specialize at. You are only allowed freedom of speech if you agree with them. What this man and the media has done to this woman is scary. They have gone after her with both guns blazing because of her OPINION!!!

    Re: SWEETPIECE!
    Re: FunMe
    these two "suggests" belong together somehow.

    and i think the gay-gene destroys the brain, or else - you're talking such a crap - woah!

    instead of looking forward and trying to discuss and being intelligent you just hate. miss cali "gave you the opportunity to dicuss your gay needs in public". and what did you (gays) do? you messed things up (with you dumb and silly hate). sad.

    to topic: bullshit - another gay dreaming and hating himself for being gay made this up. and even if so - that doesn't change a thing - i hate alcoholics, though quite a few of my family members are. but miss cali never ever said that she hates someone - unlike you.

    It's sad but most people who take a strong stand against equality have some kind of disfunction in their past. Even those here .. there is a reason whey they are so hateful. You are not born like that.. something in your past triggers it.

    76

    ok perez never believes STAR but now??? please people she didn't even say anything that horrible! she just said she was brought up with the idea that marriage is between men and women….uhm didn't we all grew uo with that idea? of course that's changing now and we don't all agree but please before it was not an option to marry a same sex partner!!!!



  77. 77

    Who cares PErez, she is STILL Miss California so just STFU and keep on copy pasting news from mmm 2 or 3 days ago!



  78. 78

    is so bad that is good! i hope that is true so she can run and hide on a corner while everybody kick her ass..



  79. 79

    "Jesus tells us to love all!" YEAH, AND WHY DON'T YOU PRACTICE WHAT HE SAID, YOU FAKE "CHRISTIAN".

    1°: Star mag is THE worst magazine, EVER!!! I don't buy a word of it. It's not a serious mag, it's a joke
    2° woow. I'm soooooo super shocked that this NOBODY came out of NOWHERE and spoke "the truth" about Carrie's mom, PERVez!!!!
    3° "One of Vetrano's friends has made it known that she believes if Carrie had known her mother was a lesbian, she'd be just a tad more tolerant of people's differences!" WHAT A LYING FAME-WHORE! Carrie has a lesbian sister already. The fact that 1 of the members of your family is gay/lesbian has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with whether you believe in what you guys wrongly call "equal rights for all" or not. I HAVE A GAY BROTHER AND I STILL BELIEVE IN THE REAL DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE: BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, AS IT IS NOW AND AS IT'LL ALWAYS BE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. YOU CAN CALL A UNION BTWEEN A MAN AND A MAN A MARRIAGE, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS AN ACTUAL MARRIAGE. CAUSE IT'S NOT. A MARRIAGE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. DEAL WITH IT.
    that alleged "ex-lover" and her "friend" are fame whores. Vetrano is so EAGER for fame that she's capable of doing anything to promote her ass and the disgusting gay agenda. sad, sad, sad… and pathetic

    Its funny how you always say to be more…suspicious of STAR magazine and yet you write this as if you believe everybody this person is saying…oh geex i wonder why, is it because its against your number one enemy…its like a girl in the 7th grade who can't let anybody win…how sad.



  84. 84

    and maybe Jesus loves you but your still going to hell sucker!

    Re: lolololo

    ROFL…LMFAO…tears…can't breathe…



  85. 85

    I dont see any drama…….



  86. 86

    Perez, please, for the sake of your own dignity, give it up already with your crusade against Miss California.

    First of all, this WREEKS of some random famewhore coming out of the woodwork to win her 15 seconds of fame. Dragging this girl's name and personal history through the mud day after day is truly pathetic. She was ASKED a question and answered it honestly. Whether or not I agree with her view, doesn't change the fact that she's entitled to it. It's not like she stood up there and randomly declared she's against gay marriage. By the way, she's Miss California - the same state that voted against gay marriage. Her views represent what the majority of her state feels, so if you're going to attack her you might as well attack all of them as well.

    Good grief, you of all people should understand how important free speech and opinion is, considering you make a living saying horrible things about people every day (which Carrie Prejean NEVER did, btw). You're not doing anything to help your cause Perez, if anything you're just alienating people further with each low-blow you take at her.



  87. 87

    WHO CARES if her Mom is gay. She didn't say she hated gay people. You're sounding really childish with your reports on this woman now. Just because someone believes that marriage is between a female and male DOES NOT mean they hate anyone.



  88. 88

    Wouldn't it be funny if her Mom was gay and her Dad was gay and she still believed MARRIAGE is between a man and a woman, because geez - she can actually have an opinion? Now that would be funny.

    Re: Spindoc – Yes, that kind of goes without saying, but what I meant is that regardless, it would hurt any mom to see her child be publicly targeted repeatedly and raked over the coals due to some vendetta. There are better ways to make things happen for the gay community.



  90. 90

    Perez don't listen to anyone! Keep dishing the dirt on this hypocritical sly fox carrie prejean! The Truth never hurt anyone! Only hurts when y'got something to hide. Truth is Refreshing. And I came to your site specifically (all the way from London) ;-) to see if you mentioned this steamy sapphic affair Carrie Prejean's lesbian mother had. Saw px of Valerie, the girlfriend. I'd 'ave her messeellefff!
    On a more serious note, the anti-gay zombies are 'so worried that the children of gay parents will end up being homosexual'! How about this one, folks: Here we have Lesbian, Francine Coppola, giving birth to a healthy bouncing HOMOPHOBE!! There's hope for you yet!



  91. 91

    i hope hurr mother is gay …that would teach hurr.. i love this stuff about miss cali…keep posting! :)

    NO "OFFENSE" BUT LEAVE IT TO WHITE PEOPLE
