"Mr. Gay World" was just held in Johannesburg.
And the winner is...
Mr. New Zealand.
...
For some in the competition it was life-altering but not in a good way:
Namibia's representative, 24-year-old Wendelinus Hamutenya, was hospitalized after being attacked in early December. Ethiopian contestant Robel Hailu, a 25-year-old student in South Africa, received death threats and was disinherited by his wealthy family.
South Africa, which won the contest in 2010 and 2011, was represented by a white local councilor from the Eastern Cape, Lance Weyer.
Said 24 year old Mr. Weyer, "The African delegates are very brave. No one in the West or even in South Africa can get close to understanding the extremely high levels of persecution on this continent. I am proud to be part of a generation of Africans that is prepared to stand up for who we are."
