Mr Gay World 2019 (Pic by Neil Coulson) Mr Gay World says that it will allow all men to participate in the event, including transgender and allied heterosexual men who are not gay. “In an all-inclusive move, Mr Gay World has amended its policy to encompass the male-identifying spectrum within the LGBTQ+ community,” said the organisation in a statement on Tuesday.
The competition is now open to anyone who identifies as male, uses “him” and “his” as their pronouns and “collectively identifies as male.” The policy will be passed on to all licence holders around the globe and strict measures will be put in place to ensure compliance.
