12795425_516046455233948_6731549340993049660_nA new year, a new name!!! It is time again as we showed you in February for a new edition of Mister Gay Belgium (formerly known as Mister Gay Flanders). The twelve contestants for 2016 are known for the public and are looking forward to take over the reign of mister Gay Flanders 2015 Skelte Willems. They have their own message to bring out to the world and show why they should be named as Mister Gay Belgium 2016 at the 28th of May in Antwerp. Time for PINK IN OUR LIVES to put all candidates separately in the spotlight and give a taste of who they are. The seventh candidate is Dominique Goedvriendt.

12795425_516046455233948_6731549340993049660_nWAS YOUR COMING OUT EASIER OR MORE DIFFICULT THAN EXPECTED AND WHY?12642625_1232165980133120_8178325757765090101_n

β€œMy coming out for me was easier than expected, because my family and friends stood behind me and supported me. I have never felt or had problems where they said to me that they think I am strange or not normal. It felt good that I had support from people who take me as I am”.

β€œMarc Coucke. Why? tvwe7577_600That man is someone I look up to and not because he has a lot of money and everyone knows him in Belgium. But because of the reason that he made himself from selling shampoo door to door to something really huge and building a complete company out of it ”.

13076612_543711072467486_6999812143043887542_nWHY IS YOUR THEME/PROBLEM SO IMPORTANT? 01

β€œIn Belgium the LGBT rights are very high and respected. We have Belgian Pride in Brussels in May and Antwerp Pride in August. The transgender rights are here unfortunately pretty low and that is what I want to change. Everybody deserves the same rights, no matter their gender, religion, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Everybody is the same and I will fight for this!!!”
