Mr Gay World started in Canada in 2009, and this year, South Africa stepped up to host the competition. This year Andreas Derleth, a 32-year-old German living in New Zealand, took the crown, with South Africa's Lance Weyer first runner-up.
Homosexuality is illegal in 37 African countries, with the death penalty applicable in Mauritania, northern Nigeria, Somalia and Sudan. Nigeria did not participate in this year's probably because of fears that the legislature frowns at it. In my opinion, i think bringing the competition to Africa will encourage Nigerian Gay's to come out and participate in future gay pageants.
Wendelinus Hamutenya, a 25-year-old nurse and midwife from Namibia (pictured on the left) and an Ethiopian graduate student named Robel Hailu, (pictured on the right) whose family disowned him after they found out he was planning to participate in the gay pageant .
Wendelinus Hamutenya came out as gay when he was 16. His father called the police and sent him to hospital for psychiatric treatment.
Now 25, Hamutenya was proud to represent his country, Namibia, at the Mr Gay World competition night – the first time the event has been staged in Africa.
they where the only 3 African countries that participated in this year's "
According to Guardian UK, South Africa is the only country on the continent to legalise gay marriage.

Celebration of immorality. May God have mercy on them.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this report indicating Northern Nigeria? Media is playing big role in this country's tragedy!
ReplyDeletei pity them all.. they are all lees than animals... the days of Sodom and Gomorrah is here again
ReplyDeleteI foresee Doom for south Africa!
ReplyDeleteJesus is the Governor of all the nations including Africa,the devil can only stall Africa belongs to Jesus!
ReplyDeleteA day s coming when you Nigerians will repent of your hypocrisy, if you are secured in your sexuality then you don’t have any reason to fear homosexuals. In a world where we have seen Gay Bishops, ignorant people are posting rubbish here and claming Jesus and God to back their hate and homophobia. The earth is the Lord and its fullness, read your religious books and stop interpreting it to mean that God is hate, No God is love and Inclusive.
ReplyDeletei expect someone like to speak so as to defend ur immoral act,i surely know that God is Almighty God He will search everyone of you out and destroy every evil controling ur lives
ReplyDeleteI think what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah can still repeat itself if south africa refuse to repent. God judgement was upon them and the whole nation perished bcos of this immorality. we dey watch!!!!
ReplyDeleteHomosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality; whatever name its called, is wrong!
ReplyDeletealso against nature (check the animals when mating).
But its unfortunate and sad that its just a matter of time till we "GET USED TO THEM" and maybe "LET THEM BE!".
But that sure wont change the Maker's judgement when we close our eyes in death!
(70 or 90yrs of perverse fun ON THIS PLANET IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ABOVE 100MILLION YEARS IN ETERNITY!)
The end time is surely near more than we ever expected, those who have ears let them here, may the almighty God have mercy on them all.
ReplyDeleteOnly a fool will copy animals in doing anything.
ReplyDeleteGod made homosexuals as surely as he made you and he loves homosexual's as surely as he loves you.
The Bible and the Quoran both condemn homosexuality. Therefore it is sinful.
But I swear to you, hear in Lagos, where I live, there are more sinners than there are the faithful
Oh shut up. Religion is a disease that plagues mankind more that homosexuality. I'm not gay and i don't condone the acne, but religion is way worse than it. All you guys do is spread your hate for anyone that is against what is written is an ancient book. The bible is a fable, nothing more. And Islam is crap too. Use your common sense and quit judging people.
ReplyDeleteCONSCIENCE IS THE BEST RELIGION.
ReplyDeleteThank you... Igbo boy
ReplyDeleteIF YOU DON'T PUT THE PRESENT PHYSICAL LIFE IN GOOD PLACE,HOW CAN YOU LIVE COMFORTABLE IN THE UNKONOWN LIFE TO COME.IF ANY OF THOSE CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIM PREACHERS HAVE REALLY TASTED HEAVEN OR PARADISE,BELIEVE ME THEIR PREACHING WILL BE LIMITED TO THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY,BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE HAPPY TO SEE AN OUTSIDER IN THAT PARADISE OR HEAVEN. OH!,MY CONSCIENCE IS MY RELIGION.
ReplyDeleteThose that believe the bible is a myth, should rethink about their words, the book may be acient, but it reflects ur everyday live on earth, whatever is condemed in that book is quite bad, so don't open ur mouth and say something that will bring course on.
ReplyDeletePls my people lets watch our tongue when discussing issues likes this ooo! may be your are not a homosexual but your tongue can cause you to receive the same punishment with them. so be watchful and pray.
ReplyDeleteplz peeps, in all of ur comments be careful wt words relatin to d Bible or Quoran, these aint jst books,myths or ancient stories, the info therein are revelations.....our words in thoughts or spoken, justify or implicate us......
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on them..
