Is Carrie Prejean’s Mother Gay?

Gossip rag Star Magazine is reporting that Carrie Prejean’s mother was involved in a “steamy lesbian love affair” that lasted until the night of the Miss USA pageant.

Beauty queen Carrie Prejean has become the poster girl for opponents of gay marriage. But in a shocking exclusive, Star has learned that the reigning Miss California USA’s own mother, Francine Coppola, was entangled in a steamy lesbian love affair right up until the night Carrie placed second in the Miss USA contest! During the April 19 pageant, Carrie told the judges and a TV audience of millions, “You know what… in my country, in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there.” That statement didn’t sit so well with her mom’s new girlfriend. Openly gay sales rep Valerie Vetrano tells Star exclusively, “Yes, Francine and I dated.” However, the affair was doomed, says a source. “Francine explained how she was a Christian and that her loved ones would never accept her if she were gay,” the friend says. When Valerie asked her what would happen if she told her daughter Carrie about the two of them, Francine responded, “Carrie would never believe it!”

I’m not holding my breath for this story to be true, but it will be somewhat amusing to follow the wingnut reactions. Star Magazine promises “amazing photos of Carrie’s mom on the night she seduced Valerie at a California bar’s lesbian night!”
