Missouri has its first openly gay Miss Missouri, and she will represent the state at the Miss America pageant later this year.

Erin O’Flaherty, 23, was crowned Miss Missouri on Saturday in Mexico, Missouri, and is the first openly gay woman to be named Miss Missouri, said Ann Jolly, chairman of the board of the Miss Missouri Scholarship Organization.

O’Flaherty said Wednesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she came out as gay when she was 18, competed openly and knew going into the Miss Missouri pageant that she’d be making history if she won. …

I would offer my help, but after seeing her picture, there is nothing I can do.

I've been to Missouri many times, and most of the young women there are better looking than anyone in that picture. Why do Miss Missouri USA and Miss Missouri Teen USA have such beautiful winners, and most of the contestants from this contest look like they are from a parody?

It’s a moral obligation, and my pleasure. A “Miss Missouri” thread cannot be allowed to stand with just the previous pictures, not when the winner’s only qualification is claiming to be lesbian.

Competed openly?? Did the other contestants flaunt their sexual preferences too? I mean did they openly discuss their attraction to men & their bedroom habits??

Honestly I’m so sick of these creepy perverts running around talking about their sexual deviancy as if it’s something that should even be discussed.

Miss America has jumped the shark. The folks interested in pageants will no longer watch.

It’s obvious that she won because she was gay. This was a pity win.

It almost looks like that fugly boy from last year that didn’t want a special bathroom but to use the girls at the high school.
Also here in MO.

The old expression carpetbagger (a person perceived as an unscrupulous opportunist) comes to mind.

Though it could be carpet bagger as well these days.../snicker

Blah. Big chin. Not impressed at all.

Selected “because” she was homosexual? Definitely.
