curse of the crown

Why Do All Mr. Gay UK Title Winners End Up Accused Cannibal Rapists?

And by “all” I mean the winners from 1993 and 2006. 1993 Mr. Gay UK winner Anthony Morely chopped up and cooked his lover and now Mark Carter, the crown holder from 2006, has been charged with male rape, indecent assault, and the use of bodybuilding drugs. Mr. Gay UK is a basically beauty contest, so it’s not like they’re looking for respectable gay ambassadors — if you look good in undies and have a nice smile, that’ll do. But attacking other gay men should probably be a disqualifier. I did notice one thing: The 1993 winner is curiously absent from their site. Hmmm.
