Palin "Supports" Prejean, Dad Claims

Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin go together like lipstick and pigs.
So says Prejean's father, at least, who tells E! News in an exclusive interview that the Alaska governor has already been in touch with his lightning-rod spawn.
"She called her directly to offer support," says the 58-year-old William Prejean.
While he did not reveal exactly which words of wisdom Palin offered to his suddenly—and literally—overexposed daughter, he did clarify that the phone call came prior to the beauty queen's racy photos appearing on TheDirty.com.
In addition to Palin, the proud father also claimed that Prejean had been receiving well-wishes from an even more unbelievable source.
"The gay and lesbian community has been supportive of Carrie," he says, despite mounting public evidence to the contrary. "It's just been overwhelming.
"Everyone comes up to Carrie and says, 'We may not agree with you, but we respect you for what you say and these individuals do not.' And they're very emphatic. 'Do not represent the gay and lesbian community.' "
As for claims that Carrie Prejean's views on gay marriage were a direct result of her parents' nasty divorce and father's alleged homosexuality, William Prejean dismissed the assertion.
"I'm not gay," he says.
And while he admits that his split from Carrie's mother was "really ugly" and "terrible," he said that Prejean's controversial few weeks has brought the family together for the first time since the divorce.
"Just this past Sunday we had our arms around each other, praying in church."
