Synopsis

To be crowned the 34th Miss Gay America® is to be honored as the most beautiful and talented female impersonator in the country. Miss Gay America® is all about the art of illusion, so the contestants are not allowed to have had any cosmetically altering surgeries below the neck and must be female-hormone free. Pageant follows five everyday men and their families as they strive for one extraordinary dream. Not only does Pageant expose the glamour and fantastic talents of each individual in this world of illusion, but it also introduces the heart and soul of the movie, which are the men behind it all. It is a revealing look at the extraordinary lengths these gentlemen will to go to be crowned MISS GAY AMERICA®.
