Drop everything you’re doing — macramé, alleyway cruising, auditing a small-business owner — to have an ogle at this year’s Mr. Gay Europe contestants, for they are handsome and sprightly.
Candidates from all over Europe don their finest briefs in the name of strengthening bonds in the LGBTQ community by… being very hot, indeed.
They’re judged on their intellect, confidence, awareness, self-esteem, attractiveness, and overall charisma.
Let’s now take a moment to leer imperiously over our screens and compulsively type things like, “Who CARES? In another twenty years they’ll all be old, tired, bitter queens.”
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.
Okay, let’s do this:
Ben Brown, Wales, 28
Jaromir Šufr, Slovak Republic, 41
Steven Whyte, Scotland, 39
Joao de Oliveira, Portugal, 27
Kacper Sobieralski, Poland, 26
Stephen Lehane, Ireland, 24
Niko Wirachman, Germany, 27
Rami Joel Kiiskinen, Finland, 20
Matt Rood, England, 37
Daniel Fröhlich, Czech Republic, 23
Yuksel Yuseinov, Bulgaria, 28
Jaimie Deblieck, Belgium, 18

OMG. But where is the diversity?????

It’s Mr. Gay Europe so figured it was only Europeans and that’s why there are no Asian or Black or Others in the bunch. If it’s NOT supposed to represent indigenous Europeans only then I agree, they should have other races represented as well.

And when Mr Gay Asia or Africa happens will you also make such a claim if no white or Latino people are competing?
Secondly, how do you know that there were not other ethnicities in the running and these were the ones that got the crown in their respective nations? Notice Bulgaria, Malta, Portugal etc, all had ethnic/none white contestants. But perhaps you are only balking because there are no Black or Asian participants?
And lastly, it is beyond insulting to say there is no diversity as if ALL white people are the same. Scandinavians or not the same as Greeks or British or German or Italian etc. That would be as racist as seeing a Mr Gay Asia pageant and saying there is no diversity amongst an all Asian group. Malaysians are different from Koreans who are different than Japanese and Chinese and Thai etc. In the Mr Gay Europe there is diversity for those who able to see it.

I figured some white supremacists would pipe in to claim that there are no non-white people in Europe, and of course, they did, counter to the reality of Europe for over 1,000+ years….

Matt from Brighton it is easy to look good between 18 and 25, but at 37 that takes work.

England, Scotland, and Wales are all separate countries? So much for the United Kingdom.
kevaroo
Actually, they have always been separate countries under a United Kingdom. Fun fact. 🙂
Kangol
It’ll be even less “United” once BREXIT takes effect. Thanks, English nationalists! :-<
ingyaom
Not a bad one in the bunch.
luichiede
The bulgarian does not look bulgarian he kinda looks indian :/
luvit00
maybe cuz i live in nyc but i see hotter dudes every day on the streets
Kangol
Not a very attractive lot, outside of Mr. Portugal. New York, Miami or LA has far better looking men–as do Paris, London, Rome….

This just shows how different people’s taste can be. These guys have presumably been chosen to represent the best of their countries, and yet Belgium and Ireland are the only ones I find at all attractive.
scotty
men in general turn me on. they’re all winners in my book.
