The Noble Beast Foundation, in collaboration with organizers of the Mr. Gay
Competition, are thrilled to announce that Philadelphia will serve as host city for the
United States National Mr. Gay contest. Foundation President and Mr. Gay Founder,
Don Spradlin, will collaborate with Bruce Yelk and Nightlifegay.com, Philadelphia’s
premier LGBT event promotions company, to coordinate and execute this year’s
Competition. Scheduled to take place on November 13th, 2010 at Voyeur Nightclub
(1221 St. James St), the United States National Mr. Gay Competition is an exciting
addition to Philadelphia’s calendar of special LGBT events.

Competition Finale. This year’s Philadelphia Mr. Gay contest will take place on
Saturday, April 17th, at Voyeur Nightclub.
Due to the way in which the local LGBT community has embraced and supported
Philadelphia Mr. Gay over the last several years, in addition to the city’s rising profile as

Grand Finale. The IMG Competition is the largest and oldest running international
contest to select an ambassador or spokesman to support the mission of the
sponsoring nonprofit Noble Beast Foundation.
The Mission of the Foundation, explains Spradlin, 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. We are especially concerned
about the damage done by our society’s acceptance of the ‘gay stereotype’ to
define all gay people. We showcase real gay men to show that we are not the
‘other’.”
“I’m thrilled that the national organizing committee has selected Philadelphia to
host the National Mr. Gay Competition,” said Bruce Yelk, President of Nightlifegay.
com. “This is a testament to the support of our local LGBT community, and I’m
incredibly excited to help coordinate what’s certain to be one of Philadelphia’s
most innovative special events.”
