I can take part in the MGE competition because I was selected as Mr Gay Belgium 2008 I want to show to people that a gay man is not only a queer. (Not that I have anything against extravagant persons, but in my opinion, gays still have a negative and too feminine image in people's minds).

First of all I come from Bulgaria, right? My country was 45 years in communism. People are not ready for gays yet!! I want to show the young guys and their mums that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. I think it’s very important that nice guys can give an example on how gays can be nice too! I want to do this because media gives us wrong information. It’s not fair. We live in the 21st century! People need to live in a free country, with free minds and have respect for each other. I want to be a good example, nothing more, because Bulgarian guys are more beautiful when they're free.

City: Prague
Occupation: Sales Director / Management Student
Hobbies: Drawing, writing, taking pictures, business, philosophy, traveling, swimming, clubbing, laying in a grass and thinking about a human being as a part of "a world system"
Zodiac: Cancer

As each competitor I would like to represent a country I live in. I do not tell anyone to choose me as a winner, it is not in my interest. What I am interested in is a chance to become another gay activist in my country and be able to help young people still fighting with their sexual orientation mainly because of surroundings they need to live in. And I strongly believe this could happen even without a victory. I am not muscled, I have no "big parts" of my body, no expensive jewels and clothes, but I have a compassion, strong will to "change the world" and bad memories that became the fuel in my interest for changing "killing" judgements given every single day to young people. Maybe it is not enough for this content, but why not to try?

In the Netherlands most people are really open about their sexual orientation. We came a long way, but we are just not there yet! It really brakes my heart seeing gay people, their friends, parents, family or other people not accepting their sexuality. I´m really gratefull I can be openly gay in the Netherlands. I think it´s really important to move forward and stand strong together. So we can help gay people who are still struggling with their orientation. Everybody should have the same chance to be proud of themselves. Everybody should feel free to express themselves in any way they deem necessary. I'm convinced everyone is equal and should have the same chances. By joining this competition I want to show the rest of the world that I´m not afraid and will fight for our rights. And also probably help other people.

Wales

City: Caerphilly
Occupation: Health Store Manager
Hobbies: Weight Training, Swimming, Sailing
Zodiac: Pisces

I would like to take part as I have worked so hard to get to the place I am today. The experiences I gained I believe would be very helpful to all gay men, young and old, being able to help them with advice and caring, but not telling them what to do, but to support them in any decision they make. A Mr. Gay Europe needs to be able to take each individual situation and be able to give the best advise he can to help and support that person.
