Shan Covington was an entertainer out of Dallas, Texas. Though Shan was crowned Miss Gay America 1976, his title was removed and passed on to 2nd Alternate Dani Daletto. Regardless of this, Shan was regarded highly by those who knew him. He helped many through the years by coaching in pageants and was known for having a big heart.
Shan passed away in 1998 from complications of HIV AIDS and is greatly missed by friends and family. We salute the artistry that was Shan Covington!
