It's called being a proponent of gay rights.
Human rights are directed at all people. Whether black or white, muslim, or Jewish. Where as gay rights are directed mainly at transgenders, gays, lesbians and so on.
There are many ways gay people are denied their rights. As of 2013, Gay people are still denied the right to marry in 36 US states. Many of those states also ban gay people from adopting or visiting their partners in the hospital. Gay people can also be fired from their jobs for being gay in 31 states.

The motto of Mr Gay World is 'Human Rights - Equality - Respect - Opportunity'.
