11/4/2002: Gay Games open

[jaguar]

But when they do, if they don't closet themselves, they're asking for all kinds of trouble; they must carefully keep their gayness hidden.

I'm yet to see any evidence of this. As for your normal olympics comment, what woulld you prefer i call it, the striaght olympics? The evil olympics for the repressive majority?

As for dave's post i think its just the gay games remind him about society, thats always depressing. As for alientation maggie, not there, sorry. My closest 3 freinds are all bi and I've got plenty of gay and lesbian friends, while ill avoid the gay bars purely becase it pisses people off lots of the parties etc i go gay/mixed, it just doesn't phase me in the slightest, generally it tends to be more fun coz the music's better. I guess its becase i live where i do and mix with the people that i do that i don't really notice much of the discrimination, in public here its the abusers of gay couples that cop the dirty looks.
