Miss USA support Transgender women in Beauty Pageants

Things are really moving forward in America. Miss USA, Olivia Culpo made news for her support of transgender women.

During the show, Olivia dazzled the crowd when she answered a question about transgender women in beauty pageants.

NY Daily News reports:

In the dreaded final question round, Culpo was faced with the most difficult question of the night: "Would you feel it would be fair that a transgender woman wins the Miss USA title over a natural-born woman?" Culpo never stumbled as she embraced the Miss Universe Organization's recent decision to admit transgender contestants. The question came from a pageant follower on Twitter, a first for the competition.


"I do think that that would be fair but I can understand that people would be a little apprehensive to take that road because there is a tradition of natural-born women, but today where there are so many surgeries and so many people out there who have a need to change for a happier life, I do accept that because I believe it's a free country," Culpo said.

That's truly something serious. Since Olivia won the crown, she will move forward to the Miss Universe pageant.
