Not one but two gay women are competing to win the Miss California USA beauty pageant. Beauty queens Mollie Thomas, 19, and Jenelle Hutcherson, 26, are two openly gay candidates who are hoping to score this year’s title of Miss California USA.

Hutcherson says she was invited by the Miss California pageant committee to compete in the pageant after participating in the Miss Long Beach competition.

“If I’d seen someone like myself up there maybe I wouldn’t have struggled with who I was for so long,” said Hutcherson in an statement to the International Business Times. She explained that she had initially declined the invitation but ultimately decided to enter due in part to a friend’s convincing.

Thomas hopes to reach the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community through the Miss California USA pageant.

6. Meh, IMNSHO, you shouldn't stay out of it.

Equality means they can do what they want to do and not have what they can and cannot do dictated to them by anyone. I say more power to them.

5. I say more power to them.

I don't even much like the whole beauty pageant scene, but if they want to do it, I say more power to them. I hope they both do great in it. Best of luck to them.
