Former Title Holders of the
Miss Gay Empire State New York Pageant

The following five talented people have held the title of either Mr. or Miss Gay Empire State New York since this competition's commencement in 1994. I thank them all for their professionalism during their reign and their involvement in subsequent pageants...

Alissa Douglas
Miss Gay Empire State New York, 1994

From: Syracuse, NY
Crowned: June, 1994 at "Ryan's Somplace Else", Syracuse, NY
Profile: Alissa Douglas was the first to hold this title. She was known by her professionalism and had gained the respect of many throughout the years. She gave this pageant the credibility it needed to allow it to become the success it is today.

(Alissa) Douglas Wood was taken from us by AIDS on January 27, 1995. I would like to dedicate this web-site to him on behalf of myself and those within Central New York who also had the honor of knowing him.

We miss you dearly...












Ralph Chester
Mr. Gay Empire State New York, 1994

From: Syracuse, NY
Crowned: June, 1994 at "Ryan's Somplace Else", Syracuse, NY
Profile: Ralph was the first of two who held the title of Mr. Gay Empire State. An energetic and dynamic individual, Ralph has since been involved with every pageant (in one way or another) since then.

I am thankful that Ralph had the courage to enter a competition which at the time was nearly unheard of: one in which a gay male can compete at a state level against other gay men in an arena other than that of female impersonation. It was because of his successful presentation that we decided (at the time) to make the "Mr." portion a permanent part of the pageant.

From: Buffalo, NY
Crowned: November, 1996 at "Ryan's Somplace Else", Syracuse, NY
