    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.

    Advanced Sculpture Students “De-Disneyfy” Fairy Tales Through Couture Costume Millinery

    Advanced Sculpture Students “De-Disneyfy” Fairy Tales through Couture Costume Millinery Liz Terlecki Introduction I am often aghast when students exhibit baffled looks at the mention of what I consider to be Blockbuster movies like Edward Scissorhands or Ghostbusters. Typically, the movies we all assume that everyone has seen are films that conjure only a few raised student hands verifying a one-time screening, or at least familiarity, with the movie. However, it rarely fails that Disney movies are those with which most students are not only familiar, but also well versed. This past year, Disney’s hit Frozen has all but taken over the world of animated films (and all merchandise born thereto) and now seems to dominate pop culture categories of “most watched” and “most referenced.” The fact that my students are teenagers in high school is certainly no exception to the rule, especially since cartoons like Adventure Time, Spongebob Squarepants, and even My Little Pony have begun to invade older age groups. Unfortunately, just as my students are mystified by references to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, so are they to the real stories that inspired many Disney classics. Just when I begin thinking that I do not have much in common with this generation of teenagers, I find myself admitting that prior to writing this unit, I, too, was unfamiliar with many of the real fairy tales that influence Disney films. I was surprised by the unexpected components of death and even gore—elements with which my students are all too familiar (and attracted to) considering the recent rising popularity of zombie and vampire television shows and teenagers’ inevitable natural draw to cheesy horror flicks.
