The president of the Miss Venezuela contest said that transsexuals would not be able to compete in the local pageant, saying that the country is too socially conservative. Osmel Sousa, who has been the president of Venezuela's top pageant for over thirty years, made his comments after Canada announced transsexual Jenna Talackova would compete in the country's qualifying round for the Miss Universe pageant.
