Chris McNaghten is an openly gay<\/a> strongman from Ireland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the first openly gay<\/a> strongman to come out in the UK and Ireland, possibly even Europe,\u201d 30-year-old McNaghten tells the Irish Sun.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what he wants to be known for.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI want to be Ireland\u2019s strongest man<\/a>,\u201d he explains. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be Ireland\u2019s strongest gay<\/a> man<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shock that people have that you\u2019re gay<\/a> \u2014 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something that matters to me. I generally just think it\u2019s gossip.\u201d<\/p>\n

McNaghten says he\u2019s noticed\u00a0more than a few parallels between being a strongman and drag queen performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrag is about putting on a performance and about performing for people. It\u2019s the exact same way whenever I\u2019m on stage competing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He adds, \u201cI absolutely love drag queens. They\u2019re the mummies of the gay<\/a> world.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for coming out, McNaghten says that took some courage, especially when coming out to his strongman peers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was one person who was a coach to me and had been a best friend for a long time and it was important for me that he was okay with it and he accepted it,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was just as nervous about telling him about it as I was about my dad. It was a wee bit emotional, that was just a massive weight off my back.\u201d<\/p>\n
