Deutsche Welle: Gay Games skeptics?

Deutsche Welle is Germany's foreign radio and TV service. A leitmotiv in their coverage of Gay Games VIII was the notion that LGBT sport is unnecessary and constitutes segregation. In their coverage, they made frequent reference to people who believe this, but oddly enough, they were unable to provide anyone who actually says this, other than... an editor from Deutsche Welle (read HERE)...

Despite this bias, Deutsche Well did some good stories, including one on a Jamaican runner (read HERE), from which this extract:

Asked what the significance of the Gay Games was for places like Jamaica, James said they present a positive, healthy image of gay culture that goes against the negative stereotypes that are the cause of much of the homophobia in the world.

"The Gay Games does give gay athletes a chance to show everyone that it's not just about partying, sex, drugs and that kind of thing," he said. "They can be serious athletes. They can compete and they can be as professional as straight athletes."
