PUBLIC VOTING FOR MR. GAY WORLD OPENS

Choose your favourite! The public has been officially invited to vote for their preferred Mr. Gay World 2012 contestant on the competition’s website.

The votes do not count towards the selection of the main title winner (that’s up to the judges) but will decide which contestant will take the People’s Choice Award title.

South Africans have been urged to vote for Mr. Gay South Africa 2011, Lance Weyer, who is competing in the contest.

Weyer is a 24-year-old local councillor in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality.

Only one vote per person in a 24 hour period is allowed and voting ends on 7 April at midnight, 20 hours before the Grand Finale takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa.
