IS THERE ENOUGH GAY MEN IN THE MODELLING INDUSTRY?

There is a growling tension between those who feel they are discriminated against and those who feel somewhat favoured by a perception. I am in the mist of gay friends and one of them feels that there aren't enough gay men in the modelling industry. Well, I honestly feel that there are enough gay men in the modelling industry. Times are changing and greater acceptance of "The Gays" has led the way for gay men to excel in traditionally straight male fields, but real-world examples remain few and far between-often only in cities or countries where gays and lesbians enjoy greater equality with their straight co-workers.

Gay culture rewards creativity. The heroes in the gay community are generally not the rugby players or the fireflighter, although they do exist, but the drag queens, musicians, filmmakers, writers, actors, artists and dancers. This is partly due to the fact that these were once the only careers gay men could excel in while still maintaining a sense of who they are and an exuberant pride in what they could accomplish.

Back to the question, is there enough gay men in the modelling industry? Many gay men tend to be image-concious in a similar way that heterosexual women are because typically their objects of affection are stimulated visually. The modelling world is somewhat more accepting of stereotypical "gay tendencies" and gay lifestyle therefore a gay individual may feel more comfortable working as a model and making that a goal. Yes there is enough gay men in the modelling industry and have a variety of competitions or activities like the Mr Gay World (http://www.mrgayworld.org/), which is an annual contest for gay men seeking to establish ambassadors for Gays and Human Rights.
