ezs note: Normally, I don't like to stay in one state very much, but this is too rich!  Canton's Chelsea Mitchell beat out everyone - including Terry Miller, a transgender athlete.  Ironically, this win put the kibosh on Alliance Defending Freedom.  Uh, nice try, ADF!

This should put the lie to the nonsense ADF peddles.
