This has been challenged many times by people like yourself who don't do their research. She has been openly LGBT in the program since at least 2017. Miss Auburn came out in 2020 as LGBT after winning her local title and ran as such at state. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
