Josh Rimer spoke to 604 Now about what this moment means to him.
“As a long-time volunteer and activist for a number of LGBT-related organizations, I’m looking forward to putting more of a spotlight on them and the great work that they’re doing” said Rimer.
It’s safe to say he’s ecstatic for the upcoming Mr. Gay World competition.
“I can’t wait to proudly represent Canada at the Mr. Gay World competition later this year in South Africa and bring my viewers along with me on my journey!”
