Overview
Project Summary:
Mr. Gay Canada (MGC) was created in hopes of creating a more positive image for gay men to make a ‘difference’ and be accepted as human beings with equal importance along with their straight counterparts. Through education and public performances
MGC’s goal is to help create positive, authentic and empowered role models that will be a champion for Gay Human Rights within his own community as well as, on a global stage. Through these public performances, outreach and education MGC also raises awareness of Homophobia, Human Rights and HIV/AIDS.
The competitions will take place in cities across Canada with the Final Mr Gay Canada competition taking place in Vancouver. Competitions include various challenges including a photo challenge, sports challenge, fashion show/runway challenge, swimsuit challenge, public speaking and a local outreach challenge where MGC is able to work with a local charity to give back to the community hosting the competition.
