45. Seriously, aren't there rules against advocating controversial political positions as Miss whatever?
I mean seriously, you think the people who organize Miss America contests, or Miss contests want their winner to go around strongly advocating positions on highly controversial political issues all over the place in public? It's one thing if you're asked the question in the contest, it's another thing to do TV ads for political groups.

I mean really, there was controversy about Miss New Jersey a few years ago when some pictures of her at a party surfaced on the Internet that almost lost her the crown. The only reason it didn't was because rules like that technically weren't written into her contract, but would be for future Miss New Jerseys. The pictures weren't even pornographic or anything, just her doing some silly poses while drunk probably.
