For anyone questioning whether or not Carrie Prejean, aka Miss California, was going to leave the gay marriage debate for others to fight — you can forget about it.

Prejean isn't just sitting back to let the controversy settle, instead the anti-gay activist is launching a campaign opposing gay marriage, in conjunction with the National Organization for Marriage.

But does the world need another beauty pageant runner-up "to protect" heterosexual unions?

Here is the National Organization for Marriage's video ad featuring Carrie Prejean. What are your thoughts?

Miss USA runner up, Carrie Prejean, is launching a campaign with the National Organization for Marriage opposing gay marriage. See interview with Matt Lauer here.

Prejean was scrutinized by Perez Hilton who was a judge on the pageant and she said, "I never thought in a million years that this would be happening right now. I was attacked for giving my own opinion on stage. I am going to do whatever it takes to protect marriage."

Marriage, she added, "is something that is very dear to my heart, and I am just here to protect it. That's all I am here to do."

To make matters even stranger, there are also rumours that Miss California might be dating Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

What a strange world.

The Miss USA runner-up whose gay marriage flap during the pageant drew searing criticism has reportedly cuddled up to Phelps at baseball games and dined out with the hunky Olympian, her grandmother said.

"Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch," grandma Jeanette Coppolla dished to Radaronline.com. "He always calls her when he is in town and they go out."

Phelps, who is frequently seen with a stable of girls, denies he is dating the beauty queen.
