A gay police officer named Mr Gay UK.

Charlie Parker from Queer Planet UK says:

Blackpool's Flamingo Club played host to this year's final of the Mr. Gay UK contest, where Mark Carter, aged 23 from West Yorkshire was crowned the UK's most desirable gay man.

Judged by a panel consisting of Big Brother's Lea and Dickie, Su Pollard, Rowetta and Anita Dobson, Carter won £5,000 worth of prizes, not to mention the photo shoots and personal appearances which come with the title.

"I am absolutely 100 per cent over the moon. Two years ago I used to cry myself to sleep at night, I was so daunted by the prospect of coming out, but when I did, it was the best thing ever. I was so happy I could finally be myself" Carter revealed.

"I came from a very straight background and upbringing, I played football, I was a sports captain, I had girlfriends. I thought telling people I was gay would mean no-one would want to know me, but at the Mr Gay UK final I had more people together, supporting me, in one pleace, than I've ever had in my life."

"Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
