Miss America Pageant Winner Lost Benefits

Over Trans Controversy.

Now they are threatening to SUE to keep her quiet. 

The next Miss Florida and Miss America might be a man, and our client Kayleigh Bush has lost many of the benefits of her title as Miss North Florida for objecting this absurd idea.

For decades, the Miss America pageant and its subsidiary state pageant crowns have celebrated womanhood. But the organization has gone “woke,” bowing to LGBTQ nonsense that now requires females to compete against males for the Miss America crown!

Now the organization is threatening to SUE Kayleigh Bush for telling the truth about Miss America’s ploy to put biological MEN in the Miss America pageant.

Kayleigh Bush won the Miss North Florida crown and title in August of 2024, which established her as Miss North Florida 2025. She is an amazing, articulate Christian who exemplifies the very best. But when Kayleigh proceeded to the next round of competition, the Miss Florida pageant and the Miss Florida and Miss America organizations demanded she sign a contract agreeing to compete against biological men.

The contract language states that applicants must be “female,” and that “female” means: 

[A]n individual who has fully completed Sex Reassignment Surgery [sic] via Vaginoplasty (from male to female) [sic] with supporting medical documentation and records. Supporting medical documentation must be in the form of the certification attached, signed by the surgeon who performed the surgery and notarized, along with a copy of board certification and a current medical license. No alternative gender affirming [sic] surgery will suffice as acceptable in place of a Vaginoplasty [sic].

Don’t let MEN steal Miss America’s crown!

Worse yet, section 2.3.3. of the contract says a “female” includes a “male” who is surgically castrated and has had a “vaginoplasty” — a surgical attempt to remove male genitalia and replace it with artificially created “female” genitalia! In other words, a boy can be a “girl” and become “Miss America.”

Citing religious views and strong objection to the contract changes, Kayleigh requested a religious exemption from the gender-bending contract. 

The Miss Florida and Miss America organizations REFUSED Kayleigh’s request. Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter on Kayleigh’s behalf requesting they reconsider the contract language and restore Bush’s title so that she can compete in the Miss Florida Competition scheduled for June 25-28, 2025. But they REFUSED.

In addition to pulling an effective “bait and switch” on Kayleigh by changing the contract language after she won the Miss North Florida crown, the new contract also violates Florida public policy.

Now the organization is threatening to SUE Kayleigh for telling the TRUTH about Miss America’s new child mutilation policy. 

Liberty Counsel continues to defend Kayleigh and all the other REAL women who seek to celebrate womanhood through the Miss America contests. But we need your direct financial help.

Liberty Counsel never charges our clients, as few could afford to battle multimillion-dollar organizations on their own. Instead, our clients rely on YOU, the generous Liberty Counsel supporter, to ensure justice is done.
