Chapter 2: It has now been two months, and everyday I look at my crown, and I say to myself, “Girl, you did it!” And with that - I strive to be a much better person, not only as MGM 2012, but in my everyday life, as Michael Shreves. Trust me, I am so honored that after all these years, it finally happened, but not without lots of hard work!
Promoters, it is time to start booking your pageants, so that someone elses dream can come true.

Michelle McCausland
Dear
Contestants,
The
Miss Gay Missouri Board would like to share a story about our
newly crowned sister, Michelle McCausland.
Many
years ago a very out going, strong and proud
entertainer stood before a judge in a court of
law and defended the right for people to be able
to "cross dress" without being put in jail. For you see -
there was a long standing “Masquerading Law” on the books in St.
Louis stating that no one shall dress the opposite of their
born gender - but thanks to Miss Gay Missouri, America 2012 Michelle Mc
Causland - it was declared
unconstitutional in 1986.
Fast
forward many years later to this year’s St. Louis LGBT Pride
Parade and once again this individual takes a
stand right in front of a group of hate mongers as the
reigning symbol of excellence and makes us proud to be
gay.
We
knew that Michelle McCausland would be a
great MGMA 2012 for many reasons , and she indeed proved it
this year at PrideFest by standing up to the Westboro Baptist
Church. Michelle was again
standing up for what she knew is right - both for her, for us and for
YOU. Be proud that we have a Miss Gay Missouri that is a proven spokesperson for the
betterment of the LGBT community. This is what being MGMA is all
about. Thank you Michelle McCausland... Miss Gay Missouri, America 2012!
We are gearing up for Miss Gay Missouri 2013 , our 40th year celebration. On July 1, the Board and some alumni will be meeting in St. Louis to do site visits and to decide on a date and place for the pageant. We are very excited and cannot wait to cement our plans. Watch for details!!
