News From the Gay Sports Movement
There are two competing gay sports events set for 2006--Gay Games VII in Chicago, and what are now called the OutGames in Montreal. The latter is the result of a split in the gay sports movement after the Federation of Gay Games and Montreal could not reach an agreement on a contract for Gay Games. We are offering this page as a way to list the press releases that come from the various groups. We will provide a short introduction, then a link to the complete release. Any editorializing on the pros and cons of either event will be done elsewhere on Outsports, but not here. We will post releases as they come to us and they are subject to our editorial judgment. Please send us Word or text attachments, not just copying and pasting into an e-mail.
