TITUSVILLE, FL -- A young woman’s sincerely held religious beliefs have cost her the title of Miss North Florida 2025 and the chance to pursue the Miss America crown.
Kayleigh Bush won her title last August but then declined to sign a contract that defines “females” to include biological males who have been surgically castrated as minors.
Priests for Life Executive Director Janet Morana will interview Miss Bush tonight at 8 p.m. ET on Just Ask Janet. Tune in at EndAbortion.TV and all the social media platforms linked there.
The pro-life law firm Liberty Counsel is representing Miss Bush and has written to the Miss Florida Scholarship Program and the Miss America Organization, requesting that officials reconsider the contract language and restore her title in time for Miss Bush to compete in the Miss Florida Competition scheduled for later this month. Both organizations have twice refused the request.
“Gender insanity is causing this courageous young woman with deep faith and immutable morals to give up on her dream,” Ms. Morana said. “I applaud her for taking her stand despite the great cost to her and I condemn the Miss America Organization for encouraging the gender mutilation of young boys.”
Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone said the false idea that people can change their genders can be traced back to the legalization of abortion in 1973.
“The same delusion that allows people to say the baby in the womb is not a baby is now allowing people to say that men can become women and women can become men simply by wishing it so,” he said. “Both are lies that more and more Americans are refusing to accept.”
