The Gay Olympics
Put on your short-shorts and rollerblades, here come Gay Games VII:
Just one month remains before Chicago plays host to Gay Games VII, an Olympics-like extravaganza expected to draw as many as 100,000 people from around the world for a weeklong celebration of sports, culture and gay pride.
Organizers, who have been preparing for the July 15-22 event since Chicago emerged as a possible host city seven years ago, are keyed up.
I especially love the (probably accidental) pun that the article-writer has near the end (emphasis mine):
Chicago’s organizers say the hurdles they’ve cleared represent the social change that might result.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t tell us which games are played: Are they somehow related to some kind of gay lifestyle, or are they just olympic sports played by gay people?
