GAY RUGBY CHAMPNSHIPS BIRMGHAM

One of the thgs I love about terms of s gay scene is that ’s all very ncentrated currently one area. It's the untry's biggt ever gay gby tournament, takg place at Perry Barr's Paviln Birmgham Bulls are this years hosts, after wng the right to host Dubl openg ceremony kicked off last night (Thursday) at Birmgham's Town Hall wh match takg place all of today and over the year's event will also see the return of the women's programme wh women om across Europe petg the Anthony, Chair of the Birmgham Unn Cup Organisg Commtee, said: "Birmgham is known for beg a progrsive and clive cy – both to live and work .

” Dave is the chairman of Birmgham Bulls RFC, the cy’s gay gby club. The club tras twice a week, playg gay teams om other ci as well as “regular” teams around Birmgham.

GAY RUGBY TOURNAMENT SET TO BE UK’S BIGGT

Havg already played for the Cardiff Lns, a gay gby club his native south Wal, Dave set up the Birmgham Bulls (not to be nfed wh the Erdgton-based Amerin football team of the same name), one of 10 gay clubs across the UK. He says: “Gay gby clubs give an opportuny for people who wouldn’t normally feel fortable about gog to a “normal” gby club bee they n have que an timidatg atmosphere. “There’s this expectatn that you already know the l but wh gay gby clubs you are almost startg om scratch and provis the right atmosphere for those people who are new starters.

” The club has no creria for new members and wel both gay and straight players (currently s one straight player, who heard about the club through some of his gay iends, is retired wh an jury). The biennial Bgham Cup, beg held Sydney this year, wel gay gby clubs om around the world to gather together for a multi-natnal tournament. He says: “Gay people are out there playg what people see as a macho sport and showg other LGBT [Lbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Trans] people that sport is an area where they n participate, get active and be healthy whout worryg about havg to tackle negative ments or homophobia at the same time.

“There were a uple of gay slurs like ‘You bunch of puffs’ and that sort of thg. “A lot of guys have never met a gay person and they have a perceptn of someone a b flouncy, a perceptn of what you see on the TV to be a gay person.

“Wh a lot of gay characters on TV there tends to be a stereotype, and there’s nothg wrong wh that but that’s what’s picked up by the general public and sentially by the ffty-tuffty gby players, so they don’t expect you to tackle someone or to get a bloody nose and e back on like they do. ” In Northern Ireland the formatn of gay teams was labelled “apartheid sport” by Sports Mister Edw Poots.
