The winner of the contest Miss USA Kristen Dalton, of North Carolina, how she would have answered the controversial question posed to runner-up Carrie Prejean. "The beautiful thing about America is that we have the right to choose, we have the right to choose what partner we want to love, commit and spend the rest of our lives with," she replied.
