Miss Utah Rachel Slawson will be Miss USA's first openly bisexual contestant

Rachel Slawson competing for Miss USA 'is a huge win for LGBTQ visibility,' says GLAAD.

When Rachel Slawson competes for the title of Miss USA later this year, she will reportedly be the first openly bisexual contestant to take the stage. Earlier this week, Slawson was crowned Miss Utah USA 2020 and GLAAD is calling it"a huge win for LGBTQ visibility."

Days before the competition, Slawson made it clear on social media that"being Queer is not a 'platform.'" Slawson wants to use her platform to shed light on mental health issues — and her own story is inspiring. Slawson continued,"I am so grateful for this crown. And I promise to do right by Utah and spend this year sharing my truth."
