MEET MR GAY WORLD
The primary focus of the Mr Gay World pageant is to encourage diverse and progressive representation for the LGBTQIA+ community and to endorse change for the better through their ambassadors.
José López Duvont is a Puerto Rican model, actor and host who won the competition taking out the win for categories in Best Overall Social Media, Photogenic, Best National Costume, Best Swimwear and Sport Challenge.
The Mr Gay World organisers say, “López Duvont, who represented Puerto Rico in South Africa, presented a social impact project to address the body dysmorphia he suffered from as a child, and promote healthy lifestyles within the LGBTIQIA+ communities.”
Using his platform to promote healthy lifestyles, LGBTQIA+ rights and positive body image, López Duvont will now represent the organisation and their charity – the Mr Gay World Foundation.
