The Gay UK Issue 2 : MR GAY UK | Page 105

2014 INTERVIEW THEGAYUK FEB/MARCH INTERVIEW MR GAY UK If you think beauty pageants are just for girls staring vacantly into the middle distance, where every answer is “world peace”, over-the-top tiaras and feeding starving pandas, you’ve not clapped your eyes on this year’s Mr Gay UK. Step up Hunky Stuart Alexander Hatton, the smouldering, 28-yearold, Star-Trek loving dance teacher from Newcastle Upon Tyne who is the UK’s Mr Gay! If Mr Gay UK had superhero powers what would they be? If Mr Gay UK had super powers this Mr Gay UK would want the powers of Mystique from X Men. To be able to be anyone in the world would be rather cool. I think I would secretly morph into a Hollywood A-Lister on the night of a red carpet launch and strut my stuff down the red carpet for the night.   Do you feel you represent all of the Gay UK? I like to think that I represent a 21st Century Gay UK Gentleman. I am of the generation where prejudices don’t come in to play when discussing someone’s character, where it doesn’t matter what part of the country you live in as we are all connected instantly to each other via the world of wi-fi and social media and I believe that I am doing it for all those Geeks out there too.   105
