Miss Nevada USA becomes first transgender woman to win the pageant

Kataluna Enriquez made history when she was crowned Miss Nevada USA this week. Enriquez is the first transgender woman to win the title and she will compete in the Miss USA pageant later this year.

Enriquez beat 21 other contests during the pageant in Las Vegas on Sunday. The 27-year-old previously won the Miss Silver State USA pageant in March, advancing to the state competition.  "Huge thank you to everyone who supported me from day one," she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post about her win. "My community, you are always in my heart. My win is our win. We just made history. Happy pride."
