Meet The Mr. Gay Taiwan Finalists: Allen (王傑)

The third annual Mr. Gay Taiwan is happening this October 29! After three categories — formal wear, casual wear and swimwear — and a question round, the winner will be sent to the Mr. Gay World 2017 competition! We’re taking a look at the hosts and all the contestants. Mr. Gay Taiwan is proudly sponsored by the gay social app Hornet.

It’s important to remember, as with all pageants, the Mr. Gay Taiwan finalists are more than just a pretty face — they’re real people too. To that end, we sat down with Allen to find out a little bit about him.

I’m a proud citizen of this beautiful country. I’m a proud member of the gay community.

What challenges does the LGBTQ community face in Taiwan?

The fact that we are seen as second-class citizens and acceptance is an issue that I would like to address if I become Mr. Gay Taiwan.

What are your likes, dislikes and hobbies?

 l like to play basketball and run. My hobby is writing in my notebook and walking my dog.
