Germany wins Mr Gay World 2015



Klaus Burkart, a 21-year-old milk technician from Germany, is the new Mr Gay World.

He has just won the title at Mr Gay World 2015 in South Africa.

Burkart says he would like to be a role model for young gay men all over the world and help them with their coming out and also change young people's opinion of homosexuality.

“I would like to lead the world to a point where it is not essential to even have a coming out.”

He says he is planning a campaign to visit schools and talk about how to avoid bullying and gay bashing.

“It is my dream to share my campaign with delegates and supporters all over the world. I would really like to work together with them to create similar campaigns adapted for their own countries.”

The win comes three years after German Mr Gay New Zealand Andreas Derleth won Mr Gay World.

In the top five this year were Iceland, Belgium, Finland, Germany and Hong Kong.
