Who was the first man to win a beauty contest against female opposition?

The first MAN TO WIN A BEAUTY CONTEST against female opposition was.24-year-old naturopathy student and lifeguard Damian Taylor, who beat seven curvaceous girls to take the Miss Wintersun Queen title (rapidly altered to the Wintersun Quest) at Tweed Heads on Queensland’s Gold Coast on 15 June 1993. The victor was careful to be photographed next to his girlfriend ‘in case anyone gets any funny ideas’.
