We often hear some misnceptns about the Gay Gam and about LGBTQ+ sport general.
Gam for gay people? The Olympics don’t discrimate agast homosexuals, so why don’t you pete there?
The bt gay and lbian athlet the world already do pete the Olympics (wh a large majory of them the closet). But the Olympics, and mastream sport general, rema a very difficult place for homosexual athlet to pete, and certaly to pete whout hidg their sexual inty. There are untls potential champns who unr-perform, or simply don’t participate, mastream sport bee of homophobia.

Another misnceptn is that the goal of the Gay Gam is to fd the bt LGBTQ+ athlet the world. The Gay Gam do not aim at intifyg the bt gay athlet, but simply at regnizg the bt athlet who pete at the Gay Gam, a sportg event open to all. The Gay Gam are about allowg everyone, whatever their level, participate a major ternatnal petn.
Sport has nothg to do wh your sexual orientatn, so why have Gay Gam?
There is nothg special about sport for gays and lbians, so why sgle them out wh a Gay Gam? What is most special about LGBT+ sport is that offers a safe and welg environment for homosexuals to practice their sport. In certa sports, there are events that, due largely to homophobia and prejudice about genr rol, are not found outsi the LGBT+ sport.
