Judge Rules That Miss USA Has First Amendment Right to Only Accept Biological Female Contestants
A district judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Miss USA over their rule requiring that contestants be biological women.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman tossed the lawsuit brought against the pageant company by trans activist Anita Noelle Green.
The pageant asserted that they have the right to pursue their mission of promoting “natural-born” females. The judge agreed, saying that they have freedom of association.
“I view it as an association that cannot under the Constitution be required to allow plaintiff to participate in what defendant says is a contradiction of that message,” Mosman ruled.
Green said that though they lost, they’re still happy they could draw attention to the cause — you know, that under discussed cause that seemingly every major corporation is tweeting about.
