Message to Adam Carolla: even you are welcome at the Gay Games

In a recent podcast, humorist Adam Carolla suggests a way to "screen out straights" from the Gay Games. While we're glad that "Gay Games" is top of mind for Mr. Carolla, we do want to remind him that however much he might enjoy participating in the screening process he suggests, there isn't one. The Gay Games are for everyone.

The next edition of the largest sporting event open to all will be held this summer from 31 July to 7 August in Cologne, Germany. Men and women, gay and straight, beginners and Olympic champions: all are welcome to compete in a spirit of Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best (tm). The FGG would like to extend a personal invitation to Mr. Carolla to come to Cologne.

This perception that the Gay Games is only gay and lesbian and transgender is something we need to work to change. We have many many hetrosexual participants. Fathers, and sons, brothers and sisters often join us in our events. We just provide a safe space for LGBT people and their friends to compete and perform.
