I've been reading lots of comments about the Gay Games in various blogs and web sites. Comparing the Gay Games to the Olympic and if your not good enough to participate in Olympic why waste your time.
It all sinks of homophobia and self hate.
They goals of the Gay Games were very different then the Olympic the Gay Games the goals are Participation, inclusion and Personal best. Gay Games met these goals. I watched people from all over the world come together and Respect each other.
There is one blog where a man has picture of a guy covered with cum and then the next blog condemning gay pride as a embarrassment. Another blog from a guy who spends all day at gym calling the gay games a waste of time and poo-pooing their goals.
I wonder if these People remember where we came from? When I came out in the 70's there was more respect and were more accepting of indivilals life styles. Remember it was the drag queens that fought back at Stonewall.
Now it appears we slit into diferent sub groups each condemning the other and it will death of our freedom if it continues. Straights don't give a dam if your butch acting or a fem, a queer is a queer. I prefer to be proud of everyone.
The person I will remember the most is the guy from Iowa who arrived by himself with a set of Pink suitcases, dressed in a very effemiated way. He left the games with friends,silver metal and more confidence. Partipation, inclusion and Personal Best.
