QUEER OF THE YEAR: BEHIND THE SCENES COMMENTARY
The “Queer of the Year” has been an international search for the brightest star under the rainbow. Last week, five contestants were flown into Montreal to spend a week competing in various challenges, only one gaining the official title of “Queer of the Year”!
