Mr Gay USA: Or The Fetishisation Of AmeriKKKa's Military-Industrial Complex

For the first time in history, a United States Marine has taken the title of Mr. Gay USA.

Nevada’s buff and beautiful Matthew Simmons won the pageant, meaning he’ll represent America as he competes in Mr Gay World.

For the competition, Simmons stripped down to his Speedos and posed in his uniform, normally a no-no for those in service.
“I dream to inspire my peers to overcome the tough obstacles in their life,” he says adding that he wants people to “strive to be the best person they can, never giving up on their dreams and never losing sight of who they are.”
Of the 25 contestants from across the country, Simmons picked up the title. Next stop? Mr Gay World in Belgium on Aug. 4, 2013.
“Traveling to and living in many foreign countries for the better part of my childhood has allowed me to gain a respect for people living in other parts of the world that may not be as fortunate as many Americans are,” he says. “I believe this makes me relatable to a diverse range of men, giving them someone they can easily look up to.”

Mr. Gay USA is more than just a typical beauty pageant.

“The Mr Gay World USA competition is a prime example of activism meets entertainment and we are so proud to see each of the competitors stick to their platforms and grow as individuals,” says Executive Producer and Pageant Judge Jarl Haugedal. “We want to turn the competition into a showcase that uses gay for good.”

Finuxe.

Oh, the despair.
The sense of utter, utter overwhelming despair.
Words fucking fail me.
Bye.
