WHISTLER, B.C. — A 37-year-old Irish man has been crowned Mr. Gay World at the debut of the contest in Whistler, B.C.

Max Krzyzanowski, who won the Mr. Gay Ireland title in Dublin in October, vied for the title against 19 other hopefuls from around the globe.

The contest included fashion shows, photo shoots and even a wilderness survival course.

Krzyzanowski, a security guard and martial arts coach in Dublin, will now travel the world as a goodwill ambassador for the gay community.

He says his first message is to young people who need to stop feeling afraid of how other people judge them.

Mr. Gay Paraguay was the first runner-up, with Mexico placing second, Australia third, New Zealand in fourth position and Canada fifth.
