Do We Still Have Freedom of Speech?

I am not the type to watch the Miss USA or any other beauty pageants, but the uproar over the Miss California question has caught my attention. I applaud this woman who took a stand for her values and beliefs even though it was certainly not popular. In watching something of it on YouTube there was a certain amount of applause when the idea of gay marriage was mentioned as being legalized in some states. This woman answered a question in a way that showed her values ranked higher than popularity and even victory. The uproar over an honest answer has been startling and amusing. First, how can you get a question wrong and scored low when someone asks you for a personal opinion. Secondly, why is being perceived by the media that she was in some sort of small minority who believe gay marriage should not be legalized (by the way liberals, even Obama has stated that he doesn't support homosexual marriages). She stated a view that is actually supported by millions of Americans (also the majority view) and yet was treated by the media as if she was the only person who believed that way. The media has made this a bigger deal than it needs to be. Finally, when did the ideas of freedom of speech become one sided? If you state your values and present a belief from a Biblical worldview it is seen as offense and should not be stated. However, do these people ever consider that I find it offense when they use Jesus' name in less than appealing manners? Do they ever consider that I might not appreciate them stating their opinions (that go against my values) in front of my son? Freedom of speech has to be a two way street, otherwise we should all shut up. I think we who hold conservative values can take Miss California as an example and role model (never thought I would say that) of our need to state what we believe proudly and boldly and in a way that is not offensive or abrasive.
