Rich
in history and social significance, The Miss Gay Ohio America
Pageant has maintained a tradition of "Excellence"
for over three decades. The Miss Gay Ohio America Organization
has empowered female impersonators to achieve their personal
and professional goals while providing a forum in which to
express their talents, administrative skills and intelligence.
In conjunction with the State Pageant, The Miss Gay Ohio America
Organization hosts a multitude of preliminary pageants throughout
the state of Ohio as a way of networking and scouting for
the lucky individual who will become the next Miss Gay Ohio
America.
The
Miss Gay Ohio America Pageant is one of the oldest running
preliminaries to the Miss Gay America Pageant. Since 1973
twenty five lucky young men have captured this most prestigious
title, one of them twice. An estimated five hundred entertainers
have entered into local preliminaries and or competed at Miss
Gay Ohio America making Ohio one of the largest preliminaries
to Miss Gay America.
In
1991 John Kemmer started what would be a seven year run as
the promoter for Miss Gay Ohio America. Almost two hundred
young men competed in those years and the seven lucky competitors
who were crowned were incredible additions to our family.
Ashley Ann Summers, Tamara Demore, Champagne Bordeaux, Brazon,
Darah Landon, Ariel DuVois and Erica Rae O'Hara captured the
titles. Sadly we would lose three of our shining stars, Ashley
Ann and Brazon were victims of horrible crimes and Tamara
lost her battle with illness.
Tommy George and Sebastian took Miss Ohio through the next
three years crowning Vivi Velure, Erica Martinez and Virginia
West.
In the year 2001, Danny Spears and Purple Pump Productions
took over the franchise and had a great three year run as
promoters. Danny being a former local promoter and former
contestant brought his knowledge and experience and crowned
Kiarra Cartier Fontaine, Paige Passion and Tiffanie Taylor
before relinquishing the reigns.
In 2004 Tina Schumacher and Jerry Baer took Miss Gay Ohio
America through the next three years and while the national
promoters changed Miss Ohio stayed steady crowning Erika Evans,
Joey Wynters and Krystal Stone.
FAnd in 2006 T&A Entertainment, Tiffanie Taylor and Aron Aranda, bought the franchise and made Miss Gay Ohio America one of the most sought after titles in Ohio. Tiffanie and Aron crowned Jade', Hellin Bedd, and Symphony Alexander Love. Throughout these years they expeienced great success: being awarded with State Preliminary of the Year by Victoria Depaula, promoting the first Miss Ohio in over a decade to make the Top 10 at Nationals, and purchasing a regional preliminary. T&A's time as promoters put Ohio back on the map and gave everyone a reason to be proud.
Starting with the 2010 pageant season, Aron Aranda branched off on his own to continue growing the business and to ensure that Miss Gay Ohio America remains at the top in Ohio. It all starts with his recently crowned Miss Ohio, Diamond Hunter. Together they will tackle all challenges that face them this year and will uphold the standards of excellence that were set out before them. Miss Gay Ohio America will strive everyday and will reach heights never before seen in female pageantry.
