Why do you want to take part in MGE22

To be an inspiration and a guidance to my rainbow community leading the way towards brighter days of awareness and inclusivity in our society. And as a pro body builder myself I wanna bring more inclusivity into that world and industry where discrimination, toxic masculinity and machoism reign. I wanna make my community and my birth country proud of me, raising the rainbow flag, high, mighty and proud.

What is the biggest LGBT challenge in Europe today
