PAGEANTS AND COMPETITIONS
Mr. GAY COMPETITION
The USA Mr. Gay Competition was originally established in San Francisco in 2004, when it was called The Cutest of the Castro Contest. The popularity of that event saw it grow rapidly into a national and then an international competition that has attracted interest from all corners of the globe. Produced annually by the nonprofit Noble Feast Foundation, their tag line reads “A Contest of Global Proportions.” From their beginning in 2005 with seven European Delegates, the Foundation has now established alliances with over 20 international producers.
Part of the national competition involves a fund raising reception to support the Foundation and its mission, which is to “Advocate International Equal Rights by confirming the essential nature and contributions of gay men to a healthy society where gay is not a stereotype.” The competition searches for everyday guys from gym-bunny to math geek with a passion to lead. Sure six-packs are hot, but so are great smiles, sparkling personalities and funny, down-to-earth guys. What we are looking for are the future leaders of the gay community. You don’t have to be up on a float in the gay pride parade in a pair of speedos and body glitter to stand out in our eyes. We like regular guys who want to make a contribution by being outstanding in whatever they do in their everyday lives – the unassuming average Joe who just may be spectacular. The Mr. Gay Competition is especially concerned with gay men as “other,” as outsiders to the rest of the world. We feel that gay men who excel at school, sports, the arts, or in their careers demonstrate to the rest of the world the ability and humanity of gay men.

偶像
My heroes are my grandparents and parents who taught me to believe in myself, follow my dreams and that hard work and perseverance were the tools to accomplish anything.
My sister who was my partner in childhood “mischief” but who gave me the confidence to grow up and be my own person.
My wife who has been my rock and foundation for 25 years. She has always loved me unconditionally and supported my vision and my dreams. I have never met anyone with her patience and tenacity to accept individuals for themselves and to give of herself unselfishly.
My nephews and my niece who are the “apples of my eye” and the “beat of my heart.” Two of my nephews, Derek and Jozef, have taught me courage, commitment and being an honorable servant to our country as part of the military.

關於我: Peter O. Porras is the owner of Peter O’Porras Productions. Before venturing into the entertainment industry, he spent 25 years as a healthcare executive. During his youth, he modeled internationally and appeared in television commercials. He and his sister periodically appeared in a locally televised dance show similar to American Bandstand.

During his career, he learned how to market and promote events but his true love with productions has always been lighting, sound and set design and creating a memorable experience for the patrons.
In 2007, after investigating some of the systems, Peter decided to become a city promoter for the USA Mr. Gay Competition which is also internationally affiliated through the Noble Beast Foundation.

BENEFICIARIES
One of the primary goals of this production company is to develop, produce and promote events that bring integrity, dignity, respect and pride to the world of pageants, modeling and entertainment. Creating this production company was also the springboard to provide an avenue for philanthropic opportunities to give to not for profit agencies serving the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) community and the community at large with the primary focus on HIV/AIDS awareness and mentoring at risk youth. The objective of the pageants is to help young men and women build self confidence and promote self worth and value to their lives.
