    Gay Games A promotional piece for by Jim Buzinski the first Gay Games, then called the Gay Olympic Games, in 1982. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Courtesy Federation of Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Gay Games. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The Gay Games is a quadrennial sporting and cultural event designed for the gay and lesbian community. The brainchild of former Olympic decathlete Tom Waddell, the Games were first held in San Francisco in 1982. Some 1,300 athletes participated in the first competition. Since then, the event has become a lucrative attraction that cities bid for the privilege of hosting. The Games pump millions of dollars into the host city's local economy. Waddell had originally intended to call the competition the Gay Olympics, but nineteen days before the start of the first games the United States Olympic Committee obtained a restraining order, forbidding the use of that name. The USOC asserted that it had sole rights to use the name Olympics. Waddell, noting that the USOC had raised no objections to other competitions using the name, told Sports Illustrated: "The bottom line is that if I'm a rat, a crab, a copying machine or an Armenian I can have my own Olympics. If I'm gay, I can't.'' Waddell, who died from complications of AIDS in 1987, conceived the Games as a means of promoting the spirit of inclusion and healthy competition in athletics. As his biographer Dick Schaap explains, "Tom wanted to emphasize that gay men were men, not that they were gay, and that lesbian women were women, not that they were lesbians.

In the past three years, and especially in the past twelve ILLINOIS gala months, a great many transsexual celebrities, actors and activists have PAGE 26 exploded into the public sphere.” And this month, mainstream news outlets and websites across the United States have been focused on transgender news. Almost every moment of the life of sports celebrity Bruce Jenner had been detailed, scrutinized and commented on since rumors began to surface that Jen- ner was reportedly considering matching outward appearance to inner self. Then, on Feb. 7, Jenner was involved in a car accident in Malibu, California, and the attention became frenzied. TMZ noted that, despite the incident, Jenner’s reality TV series was still going ahead as planned. TMZ had been reporting on the incident to the point of a pathological obsession—posting photos and videos of the wrecked cars involved while People magazine carried a blow-by-blow account of the accident declaring that Jenner was given a breathalyzer test.

Morales, City Manager / FROM: James J. Sutter, Internal Audit~; y 1 DATE : August 14, 2017 7 // SUBJECT: Miami Beach-Miami LGBT Sports & Cultural League, Inc. Financial Review PERIOD(S): February 15, 2013 - June 4, 2017 This report is the result of a City Administration request to review the financial records of the Miami Beach-Miami LGBT Sports & Cultural League, Inc. (LGBTSCL) regarding the 2017 World 1 1 OutGames scheduled to be held from Friday May 26 h through Sunday June 4 h. This review primarily focused on identifying all provided sources of fund and expenditure destinations and whether the LGBTSCL properly managed these monies to stage the World OutGames Miami 2017. As this is not a recurring event, this report emphasizes the deficiencies identified but does not include recommendations and management responses to resolve these issues as found in most Internal Audit reports. INTRODUCTION The World OutGames are a sporting and cultural event hosted every four years to bring together lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender athletes (LGBT) from around the world for a celebration of sport, culture and human rights, in the spirit of true inclusiveness, regardless of sexual orientation. The first World OutGames were held in Montreal, Canada in 2006 with subsequent games taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009 and in Antwerp, Belgium in 2013. The World OutGames are licensed by the Gay and Lesbian International Sport Association (GLISA). Host cities are selected in a non-public process by its members.

  • Garage House Music Whats up with That
    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth.
