Germany wins Mr Gay World 2015

Klaus Burkart, a 21-year-old milk technician from Germany, has won the title Mr Gay World 2015 in South Africa at the weekend.

He faced a week of various activities and challenges in the elaborate Mr Gay World 2015 competition, facing stiff competition from guys hailing from across the globe. It’s a beauty pageant, but contestants must prove their worth in charity activities, sports, art and speech tasks also.

Burkart says he would like to be a role model for young gay men, to help them with their coming out and also change young people’s opinion of homosexuality.

“I would like to lead the world to a point where it is not essential to even have a coming out,” he adds.

He says he’s planning a campaign to visit schools and talk about how to avoid bullying and gay bashing.

“It is my dream to share my campaign with delegates and supporters all over the world. I would really like to work together with them to create similar campaigns adapted for their own countries.”
