Tyron Jackson viewed the first ever Mr. Gay Orange County competition Saturday as something more than simply a pageant.

He saw the event as a way to further champion the causes of the gay community.

And, now as the newly-crowned Mr. Gay Orange County, Jackson, 28, plans to do just that.

Jackson, a lifelong resident of Tustin, emerged victorious among six contestants in the competition, which was held at the City Club in Orange with about 125 in attendance.

The event raised $4,700, which will go to AIDS Services Foundation Orange County and The Center Orange County.

Funds were raised from raffles, an auction of a seven-day cruise in Hawaii and from the contestants themselves, who were required to raise at least $200.

Jackson also captured the title of Mr. Community for raising $500, the most among the contestants.

"It's super exciting," Jackson said of his new title. "It shows that with heart and determination you can do anything. It's a big platform, but I can handle it."

Jackson receives a three-night stay at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas and an all-expenses-paid trip to Philadelphia in November to compete at the United States National Mr. Gay contest...
