These photos are from the Miss Gay Indiana America pageant that was held at the Hunt & Chase in Indianapolis, Indiana in around 1980. Amber Richards was stepping down and though Starr LaSalle won that night, due to not attending the national pageant, Cote’ Rossmore was later crowned the new Miss Gay Indiana America 1980.
The pageant stage was set up on the dance floor which was two stories tall and there was a balcony on the third where you could look down onto the dance floor.
Don Wagner was the pageant director.
The placements and awards were:
- Winner – Starr LaSalle
- 1st Alternate – Cote’ Rossmore
- 2nd Alternate – Misha Denuve
- Miss Congeniality – Lana Eastman
