Gay Games

Every four years since 1982, in some city on the globe, athletes and activists have come together to promote inclusion and diversity in athletics. These are the Gay Games. Whether the sport is synchronized swimming, table tennis, or squash, this event keeps promoting its values: diversity, respect, equality, sharing, and solidarity. While sports do carry the aura of an exclusive, masculine world, the Gay Games provides a vision of the world where dignity and inclusion are the cornerstones of athletics. So tune into the next Gay Games!
