First Impressions
Certainly quite a 'gay' image. There's a street sign, it's very colorful, your title reinforces the Challenge - I guess you made it over the line. However, there's not much interest in it for me to hold my attention.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I see you've selected the Humor gallery for this and I imagine many folk find this an amusing image, however it doesn't have that appeal for me. Composition wise, especially for this Challenge, it seems too 'squashed' into the frame. More street, more pose, more context would likely have allowed other elements to come into play more and create more interest and story. The image also looks like it may benefit from straightening.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
59/135 is pretty good for this Challenge and the score of 5.28 seems about average. Your commenters all seem to like it and enjoy the frivolity of the image.

Summary
Cropped this close the colors clash a little in my opinion and I can't help but imagine a richer scene out of the frame. It's a moment captured, but the character looks like he has more of a story than this crop is allowing to be told.
