The Gay Games start this week in Chicago but all is not well in the arena of gay competition. Apparently a big dustup is happening between the Gay Games and the World Outgames organizers. The original Montreal host committee of the Gay Games told the original federation to go sit on it and started their own Outgames. And now we have two competing gay olympics.
The Gay Games will be held from July 15 to the 22 but the World Outgames will be held from July 24 to August 5 so there will be time for the athletes to head north from Chicago and compete in both events if they’d like. Here’s a thought, one organization could just shift their event by 2 years and then there’d be no competition between events. Double the gaiety! Sadly, Daffyd from Llandewi Breffi will not be attending either of the gay games.
By the way, famous athletes and entertainers attending the events will be Greg Louganis, Martina Navratilova, Margaret Cho, Liza Minelli and Michael Strahan. OK, maybe not Michael Strahan.
