The Golden Twelve for 2018 are known for the public and they have their own message to bring out. Time to show and present themselves why they should be named as Mister Gay Belgium 2018 at the Finale Show at 2nd of June in Antwerp. Time for PINK IN OUR LIVES to have all candidates one on one in our spotlight and show you who they really are. Get surprised, intrigued and excited. The first candidate is Rémy Penant!!!
Thanks already to photographers Marc Drofmans, Tom Vaes, Mark Cuvelier, Kevin Wuyts, Karin Vermeiren, Emmanuel Deprijckere and René Emmerink for the great pictures of all the candidates and www.welovemisses.be for the videos in this article.
Rémy is 30 years old and living in Brussels. He is a teacher for Fashion and Clothing Techniques. He came out of the closet in 2010 and he wants to make his project “increase tolerance for children within in families and religions” known to the public.
How did u find about this election and what does Mister Gay Belgium for you?
“At Pride 2017 where I learned that there was a Francophone finalist for the first time. For me this contest is a privilege. It’s difficult to defend this cause and the competition offers an opportunity to share these convictions with a large public. Mister Gay Belgium also seems to have a great experience in a lifetime”.
What does your topic/Campaign stands for and how will u bring your message known to the outside world?
“My campaign concerns LGBT + children rejected by their parents and the education given to them. With my program I intend to raise awareness by challenging the education of today. The relationship models of our time are still too heteronormous in my opinion”.
To whom did you do your first coming out and how?
“My mother, but there was no problem. She already knew it for a long time and she is a wonderful woman who has always made my happiness above all else”.
What advice would you give to young gays that did not come out of the closet yet?
“Young people. Never forget that in Belgium, you live in a country that understands and defends your rights. No one has the right to withdraw them even your loved ones … Live your story, fall in love, be fulfilled, it’s your generation, defend it!”
Who is your superhero at the moment and why?
“Son Goku ! You didn’t expect that, right? Haha ! I remain a big kid and the Japanese animations rocked my childhood. Geek and Otaku are also part of the LGBT+ community” 🙂
How do u feel that there still countries like Indonesia, where it is illegal to kiss somebody of the same-sex, let alone be gay?
“I am saddened to know that people around the world may never be able to fall in love with freedom. I would like countries still ignorant of our LGBT cause to become aware as quickly as possible that love has no judgment. Two men who kiss each other never kill anyone, but ignorance hurts and sometimes kills every day in these countries”.
