Miss USA Vs Miss AmericaThe shortest answer to this question is that it's really like the difference between Nike & Puma...just two different brands, but both running shoes. Both pageants have long and varied histories, but Miss USA goes on to Miss Universe and is a Trump owned organization. Miss America is not a part of Trump.

The differences in the competition is that Miss America has a talent portion. Usually Miss USA will be a little more glam and Miss America is a little more 'woman next door'.

Some major differences include....

  • Miss America is the more established of the two pageants (est 1921). Miss USA has not been around as long (est 1952).
  • Miss USA is part of a network of pageants including Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe. Miss USA goes on to compete in the global Miss Universe competition while Miss America does not have a world-wide event.
  • There is no talent section at Miss USA while the talent section in the Miss America Pageant still plays a major role.

What is the difference between miss gay America miss gay usofa and miss continental pageants and what are the requirements for each?

Their all different pageants, One is referring too men dressed as women in the sense that they are gay transsexuals or transvestites. the other is an international pageant in which is a pageant for international contestants. The requirements for the GAY pageants are usually the same as any other: 18 or 21+ and that the person be gay, which would be unethical as a requirement since we cant tell who is gay and who isn't by looks, There also might be an admittance fee also, those 2 are just simple rules that many adult pageants follow.
