Eventually somebody has the guts to say something about the Mr. Gay SA mess-up. To add what you have said, the entertainment sucked! Judy Page, I mean is that the best you can think of (Maybe because the organiser(s) are a bit old to be doing this? The “scene” consists of younger people, so move aside… Then half the finalists weren’t exactly what I will call the hottest around…And finally, who is those judges anyway? Except the Mr. Gay World guy, the rests is sponsors, who makes them the ones to decide? Professionals, please!

The winner, a nude model for some dodge film studio, my god, is this truly the best person we could have chosen??

Only the compliment I can think of, is that it looked better than last years competition, and the prizes was much better, oh and Cathy and Jason, the only people worth seeing!

Good Luck for next year….

Press release. (Read paragraph 2… an event we will be proud to be associated with – yeah right)

Mr. Gay South Africa? / Mnr Gay Suid-Afrika? Competition Launched

Pretoria, South Africa – 29 May 2009

The board of directors of Mr. Gay South Africa (Pty) Ltd have announced the launch of the registered and trade-marked Mr. Gay South Africa? / Mnr Gay Suid-Afrika? competition in South Africa. This will be a very exciting and most probably the richest pageant of its kind in the country.

The CEO, Mr. Cor Jansen van Rensburg, an MBA-graduate who is based in London, said that the company is looking for a candidate who does not only possess beauty on the outside, but also from within. A gay man of impeccable character, taste and style ? and of course ? a temple of a body to house these admirable qualities. A candidate of whom the LGBTI community ? in all it’s diversity ? can be proud of.

The other directors of the company are Juan C. Lerm, well-known in the gay community for launching and organising the annual Pink Loerie Mardi Gras in Knysna and Coenie Kukkuk, Pretoria-based attorney and editor of online magazine, Gayspeak.

Juan as Director of Operations is heading up all operations for the competition including the regional finals, the sponsors, the candidates and of course, the glamorous final event at a very upmarket venue in Gauteng. Details will be announced closer to the event. The final is planned to be before Christmas of this year. Mr Kukkuk is responsible for the media and legal division. The three directors bring many years of experience of events in the gay community to the table.

Candidates who want to enter, can do so online. The first three regional finalists for the Eastern Cape were chosen during the Pink Loerie Mardi Gras. The three outstanding candidates, Chris Macgregor, Tyrone Nell and Leo Jan De Beer, qualified for the final by virtue of their achievement in Mr Mardi Gras. The rest of the regional competitions will be announced soon ? keep an eye on the website!

The final event will be something that will attract national attention. It will be stylish, glamorous, packed with celebrities and major sponsors ? and of course, entertainment of the best that South Africa can offer.

The Directors said that nothing but the best will do ? candidates, prizes, sponsors and the final crowning night.

An event the LGBTI community will be proud to be associated with.

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The idea was to get a gay role model or somesuch. Or that is the vibe one got from all the press leading up to the event.

But then you have the director’s choices or whatever guys that got put through…um rigged?

Then there is the ‘porn’/nudie pics issues. Let’s all think about it…. is someone who posed in the altogether really a role model? Will the whole ‘gays are promiscuous’ bull go away if we keep playing up to it?

Maybe professionals should run the competition next year? Ie people who don’t have ‘Rainbow Boys’ parties etc? Maybe get the people who run Miss SA? So they’re not gay – but maybe the competition would be above reproach then?

I’m disappointed – this could have been good but ended up being the same old same old…

He’s the last person we should be idolising in the gay world and looking to as a role model. Sleeps with anything that’ll drop its pants for him and doesn’t have any issue cheating on/with people.

Winner. So WHAT if the winner posed naked somewhere? What’s the problem with that? This wasn’t a competition to find the best Sunday School Teacher in SA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so hypocritical – I bet you have naked pics on Gaydar but don’t show your face???

Congrats to the winner!!!!!

Please, I know I’m a little non scene, but re: Enrique article…what are gay friendly antics??? Do you wear pink, mince and lisp loudly when passing Gay venues? Or perhaps often assume the classic ‘teapot stance’ while wearing a teeshirt that says ‘Gays are so nice, really, they are’?? Or wait, I think I’ve got it now…you get cute with a Gay boy once at a concert, (pretty transparent marketing knowing that a large percentage of your fans are Queer..) and some highly excitable third rate journalist (whose sword is clearly mightier than his pen..) coins a really lame term like Gay friendly antics, and applies it to you!! Silly me for not guessing outright…

I’d like to congratulate the organisers on a mostly-slick show. It’s hands-down the best Mr Gay SA I’ve ever seen – especially after last year’s horrifically-embarrassing fiasco!
I do agree though, with “Finally’s” comment about the judges – sponsor don’t necessarily make the best deciders. Beautiful boy Chris should’ve come in AT LEAST third. Next year we need more audience participation and maybe a Miss World-style onstage question so we can see how the boys perform onstage… ya?
