Transgender military wife became Miss Maryland: who is Bailey Ann Kennedy, who can win the title of Miss USA?

Participant of American beauty pageants Bailey Ann Kennedy became the first transgender winner of the Miss Maryland title. Now the military wife will be able to compete for the title of Miss USA.

According to Marca, Bailey not only became the first trans woman to win a beauty pageant in the state but also the first Asian contestant to win the crown. OBOZ.UA will tell you more about the beauty.

Bailey Anne is 31 years old, although previously the competition was open to models under the age of 28. For this year's winner of Cambodian descent, the crown is not only a personal achievement, but also an opportunity to promote the interests of the LGBTQ+ community.

"I hope that my victory will open some doors, open people's hearts to see that there are many aspects of the LGBT community. I hope that I can make a positive contribution to society, changing it for the better," said the American.

This year, the Miss Universe organizing committee decided to remove the age limit for participants, opening up more opportunities for women over 28.

Bailey Ann married a military man in 2019. They have two dogs, travel frequently, and are involved in community service.
