Nearly forty six years ago, in Nashville , TN , Norman Jones (a/k/a Norma Kristie), was the first man to be crowned as Miss Gay America. Through the vision of Jerry Peek, the original owner of the Miss Gay America Pageant, Norman Jones, Miss Gay America Emeritus, not only desired to enhance the art of female illusion as a competitor but also to one day create his mark in history as promoter in the art form. After relinquishing reign as Miss Gay America 1973, Norman Jones purchased (in 1975) the Miss Gay America pageant, from original owner Jerry Peek, in hopes of one day growing the pageant system to be the most prestigious and most respected pageant for female impersonators in the world. In January 2005, L & T Entertainment (co-owned by Larry Tyger and Terry Eason) purchased the national pageant system, and in 2016, after 11 years of owing the pageant system, sold Miss Gay America to Mad Angel Entertainment (co-owned by Michael Dutzer and Rob Mansman). Michael and Rob have vowed to move the Miss Gay America system into a new and fresh direction.
