Introducing Emmanuel Mass Luciano, AKA Mr. Gay Hong Kong and the newly crowned Mr. Gay World.
Luciano was just named Mr. Gay World after this year’s original winner, Klaus Burkart of Germany, stepped down after just seven months on the job citing “personal changes.”

Last week, 21-year-old Burkart surprised everyone when he penned an open letter saying that it was with “great sadness” he would be surrendering his title.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Indeed it is very challenging and exciting winning the title, but what is more challenging is living up to the expectations, responsibilities and duties that come along with it,” Burkart wrote.

Passing the sash and crown over to runner-up Luciano, Burkart said he was confident he would make an excellent Mr. Gay World.
“I know he will be a great representative for our community, who will put all his heart and passion into his reign,” Burkart’s wrote.
Now, without any further ado, check out the video of Luciano introducing himself as the new Mr. Gay World, and scroll down for photos of the 35-year-old fashionisto…

Smokin hot!
sportsguy1983
No thanks
Sweetie Pie
Smoking hot…not….he looks as though he`s also transitioning, those eyebrows à la Marlene Dietrich are not attractive
Where have all the masculine guys gone?
TheBigOne
I love reading other comments from fellow gay men who think as I do—that these perfectly-chiseled “men” are “smokin’ hot” and super attractive.
Bernie Sanders is more my type 🙂

@Sweetie Pie: He sounds like he’s transitioning too. When I see/hear guys like this, I think future Drag Race contestant, not Mr. Gay World.
Kangol
Oh yes!
DarkZephyr
@Sweetie Pie: he looks like he’s “transitioning” because of eyebrows? Well since you are much better looking than him and in greater shape I would love to see a pic. Share the goods!

I love it that these guys come into the contest with an agenda that they wish to support for the LGBT community. Kind of sad that post-win they seem to disappear. I wonder how effective or relevant they actually are, being measured mainly on their value as eye-candy and, from some of these posts, their eye-brows.

He’s very good looking. His partner is lucky. I won’t disrespect his partner but making a lot of lusty comments. Not cool. Very tacky.
Sweetie Pie
@DarkZephyr: I guess I hit a raw nerve with the Marlene Dietrich eyebrows bit.
I profusely apologise
DarkZephyr
@Sweetie Pie: You must place quite a bit of emphasis on eyebrows if you think something like that hit a “raw nerve”. It hit my “what a douche meter” more so than any “raw nerves”.

I actually love Marlene Dietrich, she openly defied sexual norms and was a trendsetting bisexual! I’m also a huge fan of drag queens! There are so many ways of being a man, and I’m a proud gay man.
As a gay man in the public spotlight, I want to shine the light on important issues affecting our community… especially bringing awareness to the rise of new HIV infections. Did you know that getting tested and knowing your HIV status reduces the risk of new infections by 95%? I rather start a conversation about the importance of knowing your status and less about my eyebrows.

I realize Hong Kong is quite a cosmopolitan country; but a non-Asian representing HK? Way to perpetuate the myth that Asians idolize everything Western.
(Nothing against Mr. Luciano personally.)
On a side note, why is Queerty displaying banner ads for handguns?
Masc Pride
@official mgw2015: What happened to Klaus? He was hot.
@spiffy: I saw an ad for Scientology on here too. I don’t know what’s going on with this site.

@spiffy:
You stated, “…why is Queerty displaying banner ads for handguns?”
Maybe because there are some of us who believe in the Constitution. (Egads!)
SFHandyman
Someone stepped on Gollum’s toe at :54 in that video.
Seriously though, what was that?
Captain Obvious
Sure is a lot of trans bashing… especially when the guy in question isn’t even trans. Sounds like a lot of bitter jealousy, probably because he happens to be of color, and considered more attractive than everyone hating on him.
Johnathan
Did we have another contest already? Klaus was so perfect. Enough of this look already, a dime a dozen, it’s everywhere now, what’s the big deal? Oh maybe that’s the point,huh…
Bob LaBlah
My guess is two queens exercising side by side on the elliptical machines in a gym some where came up with this idea of a Mr. Gay World contest and it took off. Looking at the “winners” they all seem to have that “bun machine” look about them. They are cute but sure as hell don’t come off as men.
alphacentauri
So how does this guy help LGBT rights? No he’s not trans; but he is a gym/roid bunny.
Bauhaus
Mr. Luciano is a very attractive man, with a beautiful physique.
Masc Pride
@Johnathan: Klaus was super hot, wasn’t as stereotypically gay and had an adorable accent. This new guy was a runner up for a reason!
@Bob LaBlah: LOL that’s probably true.
@alphacentauri: Looks rather twinky to me. Probably not more than 160 lbs. No one needs roids for that.
alphacentauri
@Masc Pride: That’s true. He’s supposedly from Hong Kong but does not look Asian, Chinese, or British at all.
spiffy
@Alistair Wiseman: I wasn’t talking about whether you have the right to carry. I was only questioning why with all the targeted advertising algorithms, a banner for handguns would show up on a site like Queerty. And really, since you believe so strongly in the Constitution, do you seriously need to be advertised — here, on a site like this one — to be reminded of your rights?
Tracy Pope
I’m not sure what the talk about banner ads is about. My browser settings prevent them.
@official mgw2015: Good luck as Mr Gay World and welcome to Queerty, where most of the key players in the downward spiral of almost every comment thread is represented here on this one.
