Summary
United States of America Pageants is an independent, national pageant that provides women with development, public-speaking, networking, and confidence-building opportunities. But a male who identifies as a female sued USOA Pageants after learning that the pageant allows only women to compete - even though pageant officials offered to look for other pageants that allow males.
USOA Pageants was represented by John Kaempf at the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. ADF filed a Notice of Appearance on May 28th, 2021 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
