I was actually lucky enough to attend the Gay Games as a chorus member. I was present for the Opening ceremonies. Just seeing the mobs of people there, the
12,000 athletes, the immense sense of community, the passion for acceptance. I met Megan Mullally, Margaret Cho, George Takai, Stacy Ann Chin (i kissed he on
the hand and she kissed my cheek), and i got to sing with Kim Kuzma and Billy Porter. It was such an amazing experience. I can't wait for Gay Games IX in
2010. It will be wonderful.

I too was a participant in the Gay GAMES VII in Chicago last summer. My partner/husband were part of "Team Saint Louis" from Missouri and
participated in the sport of bowling.
We were there as part of the opening ceremonies at Soldier's Field, the free concert at Millinnium Park (he was actually part of the band) and at the closing ceremonies at Wriggley Field. I cannot express the overwhelming feeling when we ran out onto the field in the opening ceremonies and saw just how big the crowd was that had been waiting......... TOTALLY AWESOME !!!! Chicago's Mayor Daley did our community right and also included free transportation via the subway..... (we left our marks in boystown !!!) I have my photographs posted on my website: http://www.jfpriv.com/games/games.html We are planning to do the same in Cologne Germany in 2010 as well. If any of you reading this blog, have the opportunity to participate, attend or volunteer at future games, I SOLIDLY URGE YOU TO DO SO. It will be NOTHING like you have ever experienced before.
