I am deeply offended. As for the pageant queen... Congratz on being crowned queen, you sound like a sweet girl, and yes, you are quite lovely. Chin up, justice will be served. I am a Christian.

"The Miss Toronto Tourism Pageant looks for young women who are intelligent, attractive and who think Toronto is a great place to live. They must have a warm personality and love people. Hmmm.....too bad that Karen Murray doesn't possess these qualities..... Ever notice that the word Pageant includes the word, Pagan? Hmmmm again eh? Any updates on this story? Was there a court case? Should have been an apology at least..... Here's the pageants edict on their front page…

And why were her hobbies alright for a contestant, yet not for a judge?Good luck in your court case, I hope the hate-mongers are bankruptured! Ruadh...

This is a human rights issue for sure, we have freedom of religion in this country, goddess knows we pride ourselves on being multicultural. I have emailed Miss Toronto Tourism a letter stating my feelings, and I suggest that everyone else (who agrees with me) do the same. Perhaps we can get them to state a public apology and formal retraction of their words. Way to go Stephanie! You have showed yourself to be a great role model for women and humankind.

I mean, I guess it WOULD make sense if it were the 'Miss Toronto Society of Way Too Fanatical Christians', or something...
