    LGBTQ2S+ Softball CalgaryCalgary Apollo Softball Associatn (CASA) is an pennt, muny-led, and muny-driven lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer or qutng, and two-Spir (LGBTQ2S+) softball league. In 2013 Tourism Calgary supported Apollo, Friends Sports as they hosted the North Amerin Gay Volleyball Associatn Calgary, showsg how strong lol relatnships n lead to further event opportuni. Along the way, we will explore jtice, changg queer culture and the polics of the gay and LGBTQ2+ muni, past and prent.

    For the most part, a lbian’s life do not look the same as a gay man’s life, which do not look the same as an tersex person’s life, which do not look the same as a nonbary person’s life.

    Acrdg to s webse, Apollo Friends In Sports is "a volunteer-operated, non-prof anizatn servg primarily members of the Gay, Lbian, Bisexual & Transgenred muni but open to members of all muni." The primary foc of Apollo is to provi s members wh well-anized... * apollo calgary gay *

    So, ’s not helpful to pretend we all live a homogeno experience. Terry and Stephen found that the past, at clubs, gay men and lbians generally each did their own thg on a night out, needg time wh their own people before all g together for bnch the next day. They see Goliath’s as one such place where gay men n be around other gay men a gay, mascule, sexual, and social environment.

    Currently, the gay sexual experience often centr on msagg and meetg om datg or hookup apps wh ltle teractn beyond that or perhaps meetg somewhere like a gay club.

    In the past, to meet other gay people, one need to meet them first real life, eher at a bar, bathhoe, muny anizatn, or some other physil space. Further back to the AIDS crisis, the gay muny was vastated om the vis’s effects but socially was at s strongt.

    They remembered Gayl (support/unsellg phone le), a gay fathers group, gay and lbian youth group, AIDS Calgary (now HIV Communy Lk), Apollo Friends Sport (still active), the gay roo, CLUB Calgary (wboy leather uniform buddi), OffCentre, two gay choirs, Camp 181 monthly danc, and more. The equent funerals were another social bondg aspect of gay life at the time. Now, wh HIV posg ls of a threat, relatively easy accs to sexual partners via apps, and greater acceptance to general society, beg gay is easier than ever.

    However, the necsy for physil meetg spac has cled and wh the sense of nnectn to the lol gay muny.

    Goliath’s is still active, and cisg still exists, but they hold a ls proment posn gay sexualy now than before, wh our sexual liv movg more to the private doma than the munal. Another likely reason that the role of the bathhoe has cled is that gay men are creasgly more assiated to mastream society rather than beg a distct subculture. The tensn between assiatnist and liberatnist schools of thought gay polics is longstandg.

    There are only a handful of non-profs Calgary's gay muny that are long storied. In 1981, four members of GIRC created an athletic social group and lled Apollo Friends Sport. Volleyball was their gural sport. Apollo players issued a challenge to a siar group Edmonton and the Wtern Cup was born.… * apollo calgary gay *

    Assiatnists aim to have gay people accepted to mastream life, and liberatnists reject nformg to tradnal liftyl, aimg to create an alternative liftyle accepted as equal. There are benefs to today’s level of assiatn: gay people n get married should they wish, we face ls discrimatn at work, and ’s gettg easier to be accepted by fay and iends.

    The ncept of a dited place for men to have gay sex wh each other simply bee they want to is such a radilly liberated ia that ’s at odds wh almost everythg tradnal society, which is exactly why is important.
