Goddard, who works as a bartenr at Five Sixty, is gettg a kick out of all the straight guys who regnize him om the show and have no ia he’s gay. “All the guys e up to me and say, ‘Oh, you’re that guy om The Amazg Race’ wh all this bro energy bee we’re beg portrayed as the mascule guys — and then they’re gog to fd out about Mr Gay Canada and all that stuff.

It don’t take much diggg to disver that they are popular members of Vanuver’s gay muny (and if you’ve seen them whout their shirts on, you know why). The home team is so popular Vanuver’s gay village that more than 150 people joed them for a screeng of the premiere episo of The Amazg Race at The Junctn on July 8.
