FAQ / If you’re going to have Gay Games, why can't there be “straight games”?

From our series of answers to Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re going to have Gay Games, why can't there be “straight games”?

In practice, most sports events are already “straight games”, where the assumption is made that all participants are straight, and where homosexuals must hide their sexual identity.

But the Gay Games are themselves “straight games”. Everyone is welcome, whatever their sexual orientation. It is estimated that about 10% of participants in each edition of the Gay Games are straight, often friends and family members of LGBT participants who participate to show their support and solidarity.
