The first ever openly lesbian Miss America contestant took the stage for the first time during the second night of the preliminary competition on Wednesday. Miss Missouri Erin O'Flaherty, 23, strutted her stuff during the swimsuit competition and spoke about National Suicide Prevention Week during her on stage question. Miss Maryland Hannah Brewer and Miss Arkansas Savvy Shields won the night's preliminary contests in the swimsuit and talent portion.
Brewer won the swimsuit competition, while Shields nabbed the talent portion after jazz dancing to They Just Keep Moving The Line, a song from former NBC show Smash. 'We were just whispering to each other that it's so unreal,' Shields told reporters afterward. 'Every girl here is so talented.' 'And fit and beautiful,' added Brewer. Shields said she thinks she made a connection with the judges during her dance performance to the 'Smash' song - a television show about a Broadway production that was canceled after two seasons, leaving many fans, including her, in mourning. 'One of my favorite things about dance is connecting with the audience,' she said. 'Hopefully we got to tell our story a bit.' It was the second of three nights of preliminary competition at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. The new Miss America will be crowned during Sunday night's nationally televised finale.

Please tell me she’s not the one on the right.
She can always get a job selling Subarus.
Reminds me - I really got to vacuum the joint, it’s a mess.
You wouldn’t?
Please tell me she’s not the one on the right.”

If you guessed the middle, ya got it right.
One in the middle...
She won Miss Fulon Fishmarket last year.
Why do these girls have bags under their eyes?
Looks like an Adams apple.
Good; the one on the right would be a total waste. The one in the middle, yeah, no great loss.
Now if you'll excuse me, my 2:00 patient is here to have their boil lanced.
The one on the right looks like Christie Brinkley. The one in the middle looks like Lassie.
Wondering how much surgery the dude has had. How can “it” even be a legitimate contestant.
Carpet muncher ...
My question is the same as always...why is it so important that we all know she’s a lesbian?! Do the other contestants have to state that they’re straight...or would that be hate speech?
Oops...she’s a lesie...not a transvestite. She’s not even attractive. Wonder what her talent is...
Surely they could have found a better looking lesbian to fill this made-up role for this staged PC narrative?
