Miss Transvestite

~Isn't news of an event like this in a place like this strangely hopeful (for tolerance fetishists anyway)?
American gays (transvestite or not) should take a cue from the Mormons and sponsor 'missions' or out-reach programs to Christian churches and communities all over America until (both) their panics (sic) subside.
