As Pride Month comes to a close, history was made in Spain Friday night as Angela Ponce won the Miss Universe Spain pageant to be her country’s representative at this year’s Miss Universe competition.
She is the first transgender woman to win the crown in her country
The 25-year-old has previously competed in the 2015 Miss World Spain competition representing Cadiz but failed to take home the crown that year.
At the time, she told the Daily Mail she felt like a winner anyway saying, “I have the regional crown on my head and I will keep fighting to make us seen, to make us heard and to demonstrate that I am already a queen with my own crown.”

“Society is not educated for diversity and that is what has made me go public,” she added. “Here I am and I’m not weird, I just have a different story.”
The Miss Universe competition has allowed transgender contestants to compete since 2012.
Madonna ordered to stop harassing neighbors
The New York Daily News reports:
A Manhattan judge has told Madonna to take a bow from her suing her co-op board. The pop star can no longer seek documents from her Central Park West co-op board explaining why they changed the rules to bar her kids from using her posh $7.3 million pad, a state supreme court judge ruled Friday.
Madonna, 59, sued Harperley Hall at 1 W. 64th St. in April 2016 because they changed her lease two years prior, to stop her children from living there unless she was “in residence.”
“Plaintiff does not need those materials anymore to prove a case that, by law, she is no longer allowed to prove,” Lebovits wrote. “To seek the records at this phase is merely harassing fellow residents.”
