Irony. Ironic that a majority white country like Australia is sending a Black candidate but the South African candidate, year after dismal year …

Ironic 1985minotaur. Even more ironic is that the non-white gays always complain about non-inclusion - but a handful enters these competitions ... (and attends Pride, gayu events etc.).

In reply to Rudi. Irony. Actually, that's not irony, Rudi (nor is anything in that song technically ironic!): that's just the consequence of the racism rifeamong the white queers in South Africa. As a white person myself I'm often in the presence of these people who think 'include' me in their jibes, remarks and Botha-era attitudes, and are quite shocked when confronted by this, or else dissemble about their "preferences".

I'm betting on Mr Norway, who at 50, may have more experience and a less D&G infected gaze on the issues affecting queers worldwide.

Colour. Guys, please! In a non racial society the white guy will sometimes win and at other times the black guy will win. It’s as simple as that………….

In reply to 1985minotaur. Mr Oz. Seeing that Australia has only about 700 000 blacks compared to 18 million whites, why don't you call them "not representative"??

The reason they can is because the have learned to look past colour and judge the person, a lesson I see you still have to learn.

To say all Mr Gay SAs, Miss SA, Mr. SA should all be black always because black people are the majority is just plain stupid and luckily will not happen as these competitions strive to find the best candidate not the "right" candidate ...
