Bailey Anne Kennedy Crowned Miss Maryland USA
Breaking Barriers at Miss Maryland USA
At 31 years old, Bailey Anne Kennedy, an Asian-American trans woman married to a military officer, has shattered numerous barriers by being crowned Miss Maryland USA on Saturday. Remarkably, this was her first pageant.
Making History at Miss USA
Kennedy’s victory is a significant milestone in the pageant’s history, and she is set to make even more history on August 4 in Los Angeles. She aims to become the oldest contestant and the first trans woman to win Miss USA. The pageant’s age restriction, which previously excluded women over 28, was recently lifted, and trans women have been eligible to compete for the past decade.
