    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.

The measure also bans armed forces’ discharges based on sexual ori- entation from the date the law is enacted, at the same time the bill stipulates that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guard members previ- ously discharged under the policy be eligible for re-enlistment. “For too long, gay and lesbian service members have been forced to conceal their sexual orien- tation in order to dutifully serve their country,” Burris said March 3.

  • A Journalistic Series About Homosexuality in Sports
    WHO’S ON THE PLAYING FIELD?: A JOURNALISTIC SERIES ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY IN SPORTS Brian Conlin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Chapel Hill 2010 Committee: Adviser: Walter Spearman Professor Jan Yopp Reader: John Thomas Kerr Jr. Distinguished Professor Richard Cole Reader: Professor Karla A. Henderson © 2010 Brian Conlin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BRIAN CONLIN: Who’s on the Playing Field?: A Journalistic Series about Homosexuality in Sports (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Dr. Richard Cole and Dr. Karla Henderson) The number of openly gay and lesbian athletes has boomed since the 1980s. The Gay Games is one example of this. The first Gay Games in 1982 had 1,300 participants. By 1994, the Gay Games drew 11,000 participants. In three articles, this master’s thesis examines various aspects of gays and lesbians in sports. The first article covers the Gay Games. It includes information about its supporters and protestors, a brief history and a look ahead to the upcoming Gay Games and beyond. The second article profiles a rugby player on the Carolina Kodiaks, one of two gay rugby teams in North Carolina. The third article examines how journalists, especially those in sports departments, cover LGBT issues. The thesis aims to explore the issues of the gay and lesbian community as they pursue sports and to show that LGBT issues in sport will become more important as society becomes more tolerant.

Abstract Many members of the LGBT community have viewed the Gay Games as an opportunity to challenge dominant ideologies concerning sexuality and sport participation. Members of the mass media, however, play a potentially important role in how the event is perceived by the general public. Therefore, the primary purpose of the current study was to examine how the Gay Games have been framed in newspaper coverage. A total of 646 articles published in the United States covering the eight Gay Games events held during the 32-year period of 1980 to 2012 were analyzed in terms of three aspects of framing: (1) the types of issues highlighted, (2) the sources of information cited, and (3) the manner in which either episodic or thematic narratives were employed.

  • December 2009 Adoptive Parents Aren't Second Best
    NEWSLETTER - VOLUME XI - No. II – December 2009 Adoptive Parents Aren’t Second Best By Robert Leckey Professor of family law at McGill University This week, Quebec's Minister of Justice, Kathleen Weil, tabled a draft bill proposing (among other things) sweeping changes to the province's adoption law. The minister framed the changes as a progressive response to societal changes. The proposals are complex and call for careful study during the consultations by the National Assembly. A key feature of the draft bill is a distinction between “open” and “simple” adoptions. Intentionally or not, the proposal for simple adoptions marks a serious departure from Quebec's established family law and advances a conservative view of family. In open adoptions, adoption would still cut the legal tie between children and their birth parents, replacing them with the new adoptive parents. But the adoptive parents could sign an agreement allowing for continuing contact between the birth parents and the child. Open adoptions reject the traditional model of confidentiality and secrecy that mattered much more when society stigmatized children born out of wedlock as illegitimate. Many children adopted today have been in child or youth protection. These kids know their birth families. They know that they're being adopted, so the secrecy of the old closed model can't apply. The proposal for open adoption requires an examination of its potential to undermine the adoptive parents' relationship with their child. But at least it responds directly to the minister's concern about social changes. The more troubling proposal is the option of simple adoption.

  • The FA Action Plan for Including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans
    The FA Action Plan for including lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGB&T) people in football 2012-2016 ‘WE ALL HAVE A COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY’ Over the past 15 years football has made enormous progress tackling racism from the grassroots to the highest levels of the nation’s favourite game. We can rightly be proud of the excellent work of the football family and our partners, but just as we remain committed to combating racism, we all have a collective responsibility to eradicate all forms of discrimination from the game. Since becoming Chairman of The FA, I have been impressed by the commitment of all in football, from the grassroots to the professional game, to ensuring that football remains accessible to everyone. As the nation’s favourite game it is essential that football is open to all, irrelevant of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality or any other factor. It is this essential commitment that underpins The FA’s Equality objectives and I am pleased to share with you our Action Plan for Inclusion and Anti-Homophobia. This plan highlights not only The FA’s belief that football must be accessible to all, but that any form of Homopobia or Alex Horne, FA General Secretary (centre) with Richard Bevan, left, Chief Executive of the League Managers Association and Greg Clarke, right, Chairman of the Football League at the Prime Minister’s Transphobia will not be accepted within our game. The plan will see the football family work in partnership with the reception at no.10 Downing Street to discuss homophobia and transphobia in sport (June 2011).
