We are all equal. We have blue eyes, we have green eyes. Some of us are straight, some of us are gay," he said. "That’s not something we can change. I would like to promote, ‘so what, I’m gay’. I would like to leave a legacy behind to show everybody that we are all the same.” Suave Mr Gay Cyprus finished second and bubbly Mr Gay Ireland third. New Zealand’s Troy Williams did not appear in the final 23. He is believed to have pulled out of the competition.
