I had the chance to speak to Canadian blogger, Brian Webb, about his involvement in the 2012 Mr. Gay Canada Competition. I quickly noticed his zest for life and passion to help the LGBT community. I think he would be the perfect candidate for the MGC title. I urge all of our readers to vote in support of such a kind spirited individual.

The Mr. Gay Canada Competition’s purpose is to provide an opportunity to create a positive image for young gay men in their respective communities. Through public performances, outreach, and education, Mr. Gay Canada raises awareness of issues including bullying, self-acceptance, safer sex practices, and more.

The competition will take place over an intensive three-day session that coincides with the 2012 WinterPRIDE Festival in Whistler, BC. There will be various challenges that each delegate must complete including runway, swim suit, sports, public speaking and promotional outreach where they are able to work with local charities. The winner of MGC will go on to compete in the 2012 Mr. Gay World Competition in South Africa.

As a proud Canadian, Brian is very passionate about educating the world by sharing real-life stories from the LGBT community. Growing up in the rural town of Armstrong BC, he learnt that smaller communities require more knowledge so youth will know they live in safe environments – ones where they’ll be accepted for who they are. He has volunteered his time as a peer counselor for gay youth and helped many individuals deal with the pressures of bullying and coming out. Brian further contributes his time by attending Pride festivals all over North America to promote LGBT education.

Brian believes that a healthy mind and body go hand in hand. While he strive to maintain his educational growth to stimulate his mental health, Brian works hard at maintain his physical health by working out five times a week and training for marathons. Over the last few years, he has participated in eight competitive races including 10km, half and full marathons. Brian is aware of the many youth who follow his blog. Understanding he is a role model to them, he hopes his journey eases their pathway into the LGBT world.

The competition will be held from February 9 – 12, 2012

A promising career has come to a sad and tragic end. Champion freestyle skier Sarah Burke passed away peacefully in a Salt Lake City hospital on Thursday following a crash during training on January 10th. She was 29.

The incident has once again raised the issue of the need for helmets to be worn by skiers and snowboarders.

Sarah, a native of Barrie Ontario Canada, suffered a ruptured vertebral artery in the accident, which sent her into cardiac arrest. She had no pulse and was not breathing on her own when emergency personnel arrived. Following surgery to repair the artery, she remained on life support, but had already suffered irreversible brain damage as a result of oxygen deprivation and blood loss.

Her publicist released this statement:

“The family expresses their heartfelt gratitude for the international outpouring of support they have received from all the people Sarah touched.”

At her own request, Sarah’s organs and tissues have been donated in order to save others.

Say what you will about Madonna, but she has done more for pop music in the last 30 years than GaGa ever will. Madonna has been chosen (over GaGa no less!) to be the headlining performer at the
Super Bowl XLVI 2012 halftime show!

Is the NFL trying to reel in the gays to watch football?

The Queen of Pop will collaborate with longtime choreographer Jamie King and Cirque du Soleil for the performance. I can’t lie, I can’t wait!

It’s so nice to see the actor showing some hometown pride!

Glee star Cory Monteith was named the grand marshal in the Grey Cup Parade on Sunday in Vancouver. He rode in the back of a pickup truck waving to fans while sporting a BC Lions jersey.

Great to know that he hasn’t forgotten his roots!

Don’t they?

C’mon! It’s difficult to deny it!

The Olympic gold medal winner loves to drool flirt!!!

Smartest decision she’s made in her life!

After her win at WrestleMania XXVII last weekend, Snooki has decided that she’s had enough of wrestling. And plans to NEVER return again!

Here’s what she had to say —>

“I’m done with wrestling. I have too many other things going on right now with Jersey Shore that I gotta concentrate on. I don’t think I’ll ever get into a ring again.”

Never say never, Snookers!

Your fame whoring ways will probably get you back into the ring again someday. I’m sure of it. And if I’m wrong, well, I’ll let ya body slam me.

Deal???
