Gays Love Games. We Love k.d.

Last week Chicago. This week Montreal.
Confused? We were, until we did a little research. So if anyone asks you why there are two homosexual sporting events within one week of each other, the answer follows....
In 2003, there was some tension between the Federation of Gay Games and the group responsible for choosing Montreal as the site. After some hemming, hawing, processing, and meetings about everyone’s feelings, the Canadians took their ball and went home, starting a rival “gay sporting organization.”
Because that’s what gay rights is all about: solidarity.
But all seems to be fine, and not surprisingly there are enough homosexuals in the world for two big events.
But at the opening ceremony, there were issues.... Even in liberal Canada.
The audience was forced to resort to chanting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” at a Canadian Public Works Minister who was sent as a stand-in for conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the grumpy old man recently elected to the post. Not that the gays really wanted him there. After all, he’s the guy trying to overturn gay marriage in the one place we all hope we can move to one day.
