    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.

  • Queer Theorists and Gay Journalists Wrestle Over
    PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES BY CALEB CRAIN QUEER THEORISTS AND GAY JOURNALISTS WRESTLE OVER THE POLITICS OF SEX 26 PLEASURE PRINCIPLES PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES Nearly two hundred men and women have come to sit in the sweaty ground-floor assembly hall of New York City’s Lesbian and Gay Community Services Cen- ter. They’ve tucked their gym bags under their folding chairs, and, despite the thick late-June heat, they’re fully alert. Doz- ens more men and women cram the edges of the room, leaning against manila-colored card tables littered with Xerox- es or perching on the center’s grade-school-style water foun- tain, a row of three faucets in a knee-high porcelain trough.

It might have been the Sex Panic flyer reading DANGER! ASSAULT! TURDZ! that drew this crowd. Handed out in New York City’s gay bars and coffee shops, the flyer identified continuing HIV transmission as the danger. It pointed to the recent closing of gay and transgender bars and an increase in arrests for public lewdness as the assault. And it named gay writers Andrew Sullivan, Michelangelo Signorile, Larry Kramer, and Gabriel Rotello as the Turdz.

  • Baird, Alison 2019
    IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE INFAMOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alison P. Baird Washington, D.C. April 15, 2019 IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE NOTORIOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 Alison P. Baird Thesis Adviser: Ellen Gorman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Studio 54, the infamous New York City discotheque open from 1977 to 1980, was a notorious site in New York City for not only being one of the most sought-after venues in nightlife, but also for its ruthless red velvet rope culture. Disco was a defining artifact in American culture in the 1970s and greatly reflected the social and political atmosphere across the country. With the culmination of various political upheavals such as the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal, many Americans simply wanted to party, use drugs, and openly explore their sexuality. Studio 54 was, arguably, the most influential and well-known of the many discos— admired and loathed by those within and on the outside of the disco scene. Many outsiders and eager spectators observed the club as exclusionary and dictator-like. This thesis deconstructs the red velvet rope culture and analyzes the innate behavior and qualities of the clubbers with the aim to understand how these people contributed to the tremendous popularity of Studio 54. Gossip columns, newspapers, tabloids and archived footage offers compelling insight to the way of the disco-door as well as the qualities and behaviors that club goers possessed as such to gain admission.

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.

Historical Note The Gay Games was an athletic event and festival first held in San Francisco between August 28 and September 5,1982. The event was founded by Tom Waddell, and it was first referred to as the Gay Olympics as it was modeled after the international Olympic Games. Controversy surrounding the event began when the U.S. Olympic Committee filed a legal injunction that succeeded in preventing use of the word "Olympic" as part of its name. As a result, it was known as the Gay Athletic Games that first year. Four years after the Gay Athletic Games were held in San Francisco, the Gay Games continued the tradition of a gay athletic competitions and festivals held, like the Olympics, in different cities at four-year intervals.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2006 APPROVED: Vern Kagarice, Major Professor Darhyl Ramsey, Minor Professor Tony Baker, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Yeager, Jonathan K., Interpretive performance techniques and lyrical innovations on the bass trombone: A study of recorded performances by George Roberts, “Mr. Bass Trombone.” Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2006, 82 pp., 18 illustrations, bibliography, 25 titles. Nicknamed “Mr. Bass Trombone” for his role as a prominent, trailblazing recording artist, George Roberts (b. 1928) has often been recognized as redefining the role of the bass trombone in popular music as well as setting new standards for technical refinement and expressive possibilities of the instrument. Through two interviews and a comparison between ten recorded performances by Roberts and corresponding lead sheets, I make observations about Roberts’ performance techniques and illustrate various examples of those techniques. The document includes 35 pp. of interview transcriptions. Copyright 2006 by Jonathan K. Yeager ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank those who assisted in the preparation of this document. Specifically, I would like to thank George Roberts for providing his time and thoughts; Vern Kagarice for his guidance and assistance in securing sources; Matthew Litwaitis for his help in locating resources; Ben van Dijk, Bob Hughes, and Douglas Yeo for providing comments; Keith Pawlak at the University of Arizona, John R.
