As Jerusalem erupts over the upcoming Gay Pride parade, the winner of the Mr. Gay International contest is….an Israeli!

Jewlicious clues us in:

A competitor from Tel Aviv, Israel, Nathan Shaked, 37, is the new Mr. Gay International after two days of competition in Palm Springs.
Prizes include a modeling contract, a Caribbean cruise and a trip to Puerto Vallarta.

Shaked assumed the title from last year’s winner, Jesse Basham of the United States.

This is the second consecutive year that the competition has been held in Palm Springs, according to a release from organizers.

Robert Tarroza of the Phillipines won the Mr. Congeniality title.

Congratulations to Nathan Shaked. You deserve to march at the head of the parade…

    2. Apparently this is one area where the world is happy to praise Israel. ;)

    3. Why does Israel care whether it is praised or not?

    Self-esteem ought to not depend on anyone but yourself. The Israel I was born into and raised during the 60′s and 70′s did not seek approval from anyone.

    How times have changed. Sadly, Israel today is a a weaker nation and maybe even, like the United States, sclerotic.
