Hello Pennsylvania,

 

For those who may remember me I am Gary Ariel Washington, the reigning "Symbol of Excellence" for the state of Pennsylvania. I have spent the past year and 3 months building the Mr. Gay Pennsylvania America program.

I have made networking strides with the reigning Miss Pennsylvania USA & top 15 finalist Kailyn Marie Perez and am trying to build relationships with all Pennsylvania title holders from all systems. My last appearance in Pennsylvania was serving as head judge for the Miss Gay Philadelphia America preliminary, alongside Joey Gallagher & Gunner Montana. I was last spotted in sash at Miss Gay United States, where I competed for the Mr. title, and placed 4the runner up..I've spent majority of time over these past few months focusing as a Pageant Coach of Team ICONS (@TEAMICONSFANPAGE), and working on making them shine on stage. Also, I started working as a contributing writer for Rochester Womens' Magazine, and I featured Pennsylvania heavily... I am hoping that in 2020, I see my dream opening, farewell, and successor happen. Until then, let me leave you with "trust in your own star power, never doubt that you are enough!"
