The Mr. Gay World pageant is making big strides when it comes to transgender inclusivity!
As Gay Times points out, Mr. Gay World’s inclusive move to allow more competitors comes on the heels of the transphobic controversy that was created when Chiyo Gomes became the first trans man to compete in the Mr. Gay England 2020 pageant.
After being delayed in 2020 because of the ongoing global pandemic, this year’s Mr. Gay World pageant is taking place virtually on the organization’s official YouTube channel and will feature contestants from the 2020 competition as well as the 2021 competition, with two winners ultimately being crowned this year.
2019’s current Mr. Gay World, Spain’s Fran Alvarado (who took over the title from Janjep Carlos when the 2020 event was postponed) was just announced as the competition’s first judge.
Mr. Gay World 2020 will take place online from October 9-October 16, and Mr. Gay World 2021 will start on October 23 and run through October 30.
