Men, Fighting Persecution In Their Speedos (Photos)

Twelve hot men from 11 different countries stripped down to their speedos for the 2018 Mr. International Freedom Calendar.

Proceeds from the calendar support The LGBT Asylum Project, a San Francisco based nonprofit that provides pro bono legal representation for LGBT immigrants who are fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in the U.S. In the two years since its inception, The LGBT Asylum Project has helped 35 LGBT immigrants on their journey from persecution to freedom.

The calendar men represent Brazil, China, Colombia, France, Mexico, Morocco, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, and the U.S.A. They competed in The LGBT Asylum Project's 1st and 2nd Annual Mr. International Freedom Contest, the organization's major annual fundraiser. The calendar may be purchased online (for $30 including shipping and handling) at: lgbtasylumproject.org/store.html
