'Mr. Gay' 2006: It's 'About the Whole Person'

One of the producers of the just concluded "Mr. Gay USA" said the weekend competition in Palm Springs, Calif., was much more than a contest about physical looks. In addition to the swimsuit and underwear modeling, there were interviews of the contestants and an athletic challenge, according to event producer Don Spradlin, because he said, "It is more about the whole person."

However, a spokesman for the American Family Association (AFA) said he was skeptical about the "Mr. Gay USA" contest. "When there is a competition designed strictly for the homosexual community, that tells me it's designed to get homosexuals together for sexual activities," Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the AFA, told Cybercast News Service.

"It is a case of birds of a feather flock together, similar to the Gay Olympic Games being held next July," Sharp said. "The homosexual community is looking for a way to get their kind together for different kinds of events. In other words, you want to get all of these studly homosexuals to have fun and games and try and make it legitimate by adding the air of a competition."

Similar contests had been held in many European countries, but this was the first "Mr. Gay" competition in the United States. It coincided with an international event and the same man, Jesse Bashem of San Diego, won both competitions. Full Story

Bashem? Bash 'em? No way.

If that's the guy's real name, it's almost a lock for Irony of the Year!
