Found this guy's bravery really inspiring. There's nothing sadder to me than when gay men, who should know what it's like to be bullied and rejected, turn around and laugh at, bully or reject one of their own. This story really touched me and left me feeling sad, though luckily there were some beautiful parts to it in The Black Cap pub in London, which I used to go to sometimes......video here...http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/video/2014/dec/08/what-happened-when-a-30-stone-man-entered-mr-gay-uk-stavros-louca-video

Exactly Dennis. That crowd in the Black Cap was the best of the gay scene and the contest sponsors were the worst and most shallow. To take away the prize was bad enough; to utterly airbrush out what actually happened was disgraceful.

Very sad indeed. The procedure was to let the audience decide the winner in the last round and they did. The committee actually broke their own rules by taking the win away from him on a technicality that they made up.....pathetic! Just as pathetic was the way they published the story covering the event.
