its rather interesting as i dident know they existed even tho im part the lgbt community as i am bi . and i think its awsome how they will do this and so on . but does this mean we can have all black games or all white games or does there have to be a line? rate hate and debate guys

 

[bill oddie]

How could they possibly be wrong?

"The Gay Games is open to all who wish to participate, without regard to sexual orientation. There are no qualifying standards to compete in the Gay Games. It brings together people from all over the world, many from countries where homosexuality remains illegal and hidden.

The purpose of the 'Gay games' is good, to further the understanding homosexual and bisexual people all over the world.

he purpose of the Federation of Gay Games is to foster and augment the self-respect of lesbians and gay men throughout the world and to engender respect and understanding from the nongay world, primarily through an organized international participatory athletic and cultural event held every four years, and commonly known as the Gay Games.

Sure, people can white games, black games or even Mexican games. As long as it doesn't promote racism and segregation.

I don't think this should be in the SFA forum.

I don't see anything wrong with having tournaments specifically for white people or specifically for black people.

 

I don't see the point. Homosexual people are allowed to compete in the global Olympics.

The straight games don't exist, why should their be a homosexual one?

Probably because some homosexual people wanted to make them in response to market pressure. Go and make the straight games if you want to.

I really dont see anything wrong with this, its not like its bad for the homosexual community is it?

 

[i noob killer i]

i just said this 4 a debate

 

[liverpoolfan]

this is so wrong because its like racist. thats like if they had a white game, no black people allowed that could cause a pubic argument, so y have a gay games with no normal people allowed

When i seen gay games, i actually laughed, not thinking it was about gay people or anything but i thought it was games labeled gay etc. yeah i seem like an idiot but yeah. Black / white Sections that's fucked up, needs to be equal...

 

It's not exclusively for homosexuals, and in that respect it's just a name. However, in many countries, it's illegal to be homosexual, Egypt for example.

Eh, it's legal in the where the Global Olympics are located. I still don't see why homosexuals need to have a special Olympics mainly created for homosexuals. As for those homosexuals located in Egypt, I doubt they'd be able to attend the Gay Games without prosecution.

You could argue the point "it's not exclusively for homosexuals", but let's be realistic. I'd say a good 95% of the athletes are homosexual.

I don't have anything against the Gay Games, but still do not see a valid reason for them. All this does is expand the differences between homo and heterosexuals.

The regular Olympics isn't exclusively for straight folks, any athletes can enter, regardless of their sexual orientation/clothing style. If a straight person was denied entrance to the Gay Olympics, that would be flatout discrimination towards heterosexuals. Much like how it would be flatout discrimination to deny a homosexual his or her rights to enter the regular Olympics. All this does is expanding the barrier of inequality and prejudice between heterosexuals and homosexuals.

Games really shouldn't be made like this. It is a major form of discrimination between straight and gay people, which is only pushing the two apart. It is sad to see that homosexuals are still not fully accepted in society, but this will not help anyone even slightly.

its wrong,... come on lol

I see reading comprehension isn't one of your strong sides, eh? You might to re-read my post, because nowhere did I state that society would 'go apart'.

 

[jaydizzler]

They can have black games but they would just have to let whoever wanted in in..

I totally agree, It's outrageous. If the olympics said only straight athletes are allowed to compete there would be riots.
