The current Mr Gay Wellington, Michael Gray, is about to lose his crown and title.
The next Mr Gay Wellington pageant, to be held at The Garden Club on Labour weekend, will see a new man take the reigns.
But who will it be? Who has what it takes to represent Wellington as Mr Gay Wellington?
The event will be produced and hosted again by Aaron and Andy, with a hinted special performance from Wellington drag troupe The Glamazons.
“We hear they’re commissioning an all-new video especially for this event,” Aaron says. “We’re super excited!”
Entries for Mr Gay Wellington will be opened shortly.
Well they might get more entrants and a better competition if they ditch the “must have a talent which can be performed on stage” and the whole auction process where the highest bidder gets a date with the winner..

Heya Scotti,
We’ve organised this competition for the past three years and have never had a talent section for Mr Gay Wellington, and we’ve never had an auction for a date with the winner.
We’re a bit confused about your comment…
Thanks for posting!

Then someone advertised it incorrectly last time then!! I remember reading it and deciding not to enter for that reason!!

Mr Gay Wellington SHOULD have a special talent, to set him apart from every other gay man in Wellington. If you’re saying that someone is special, they should be special for a reason or reasons.

what a poorly titled article, it should say mr gay’s reign is going to come to an end, not mr gay about to lose crown.
lose has different inferences
if u are going to try and be respected writers, think about nuances and when to use words and not when to use certain words.
poor
Hot debate. What do you think?

Duh… Aaron and Andy arent dumb there just attention whores. AKA the title draws people in thinking ‘oh i wonder what Michael Gray has done to deserve to BE FIRED?” but actually his term is ending. its called journalism – sensationalist headlines to get attention.

We’re very aware of the inference of this story’s title, but thanks for pointing it out anyway.
The poster who replied to your comment has it spot-on.
Thanks for your comment.

No it doesn’t dumb arse!! hahahaha, as I said I have a degree in marketing and PR, and you have…..hmmmm….you have…… oh gosh……it’s coming to me……you have…… oh dear…….nope……sorry……not happening…… Although I would suggest consulting with the voices in your head before writing it down, as more times than most, most of what you write is garbage and nonsensical. Just a thought!

A title isn’t information and therefore it isn’t misinformation. FUCK OFF.
If thats unprofessional well then so are most of the sub-editors in the world of journalism. Wait, they ARE the profession, so actually it’s not unprofessional it is entirely professional, you just don’t like it because your a douche.

the title is a message therfore it is information, and please use citations as examples from ‘most sub-editors’ you talk of?
