Infamous gay marriage opponent Carrie Prejean is back in the tabloids. Miss California’s mother, Francine Coppola, had an affair with another woman, Star reports. “Yes, Francine and I dated,” her ex-girlfriend Valerie Vetrano says. But it ended when “Francine explained how she was a Christian and that her loved ones would never accept her if she were gay,” a friend said.

“Valerie feels that if Francine had just been open about her sexuality with her family, Carrie would have a better understanding of what gay people have to go through,” said the source, adding that neither Carrie nor her father knew about the affair. “They just want equal rights.” (More Carrie Prejean stories.)
