And just WTF is a “Gay Games”? Is there some athletic sport in the normal relhm of athletics that a gay man or woman is prohibited from competing in? Hell, aren’t most figure skaters gay anyway? This is ridiculous.
Not only gay but tiny. In the 1990’s my first wife was a senior executive with John Hancock insurance, which was a sponsor of the Champions on Ice Tour so I got to have dinner with most of the big names in ice skating. I don’t know if they’d technically qualify as midgets or dwarfs, but my goodness were they small.
It should be noted that the IOC, notoriously zealous about the use of Olympics/Olympic, have allowed the Special Olympics and the Paralympics to use the term (or a portion thereof) but stopped this organization from using the term Gay Olympics. Possibly one of the few things they’ve done right.
As others have said, when a wildly disproportionate number of actual Olympians are gay or lesbian, this event is like a pickup football game held the day after the Super Bowl. Surplus to requirements, especially when any openly gay Olympian would get the star treatment from agenda-driven media outlets.
Their so-called solidarity with trannies could pose a major problem. If a male claims to be a female and walks to victory in the women’s 100 meters, will they cheer? Boo? Claim an unfair advantage?
Nobody can explain the requirements for entry beyond a verbal claim to sexual activities or preferences having nothing to do with competitive athletics - because there are none. ‘Gay for pay’ becomes ‘gay for play’ if someone is so inclined.
As usual, the ‘pride’ everyone claims to experience is fool’s gold - just like the meaningless medals they hand out.
