So there shouldn't be women's and men's events?
Are you insinuating that gay men don't have the same athletic capabilities as straight men?

0.01 of the clergy doesn't not constitute being full of them.
Dude, they have been exposed..

I do agree with you, however, that sexual orientation doesn't add or subtract to the athletic abilities of someone as much as gender has an impact. But the Gay Games and efforts like the gay softball league started when homophobia prevented people from doing sports. This was an outlet for them. I concede it's usefulness is dimished now as homosexuality is more widely accepted. Just in time for the Gay Games to be ineffect at bringing people and dollars to cities that host it like Cleveland in 2014 Man that city can't cut a break can it?

Maybe I should have said are there black vs. white sporting teams. Or left-handed vs. right-handed sporting events.
I understand that when society had forced segregation upon homosexuals that they were proficient enough to create their own parallels. I just don't see how saying the segregated course will prove positive for the homosexual community.
That's the thing....we don't think those should exist either
It doesn't.
I can see pride parades continuing, but certainly the World Gay Games among other events I don't know about.
There actually are black vs white sports?
I just want to express my happiness and joy over a discussion of Gay sports having my name on it. I'm feeling fabulous.
OMG let me slow down and explain myself I am confusing you and Coqui.
Having gay sports teams that self segregate is like having an all-black only-black team or all-lefthanded only-lefthanded team. It doesn't make any sense because those characteristics have nothing to do with athletics. But while being treated unequally, there were black leagues and white leagues. Of course those went away after the Civil Rights movement. Gays haven't had theirs yet.
Gays are having their civil rights movement as we speak. It just hasn't been fully resolved.
Heck, it took over 100 years for blacks to fully escape slavery, and we still have a way to go to fully shore that one up.
No matter how hard you try though, there will always be prejudice.

Yeah it's (non sport comparison) like BET. Black Entertainment TV. When I first came to the US and saw that on TV I literally said WHAT THE FUCK out loud. They want to be treated the same, yet they keep portraying themselves as different.
"Barb Davis White, a Tea Party activist and Republican candidate for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, prompted shocked gasps from the packed hearing room when she said, 'Rosa Parks did not move to the front of the bus to support sodomy.' Her testimony involved accusations that the movement for marriage equality is hijacking the civil rights movement. 'There is no difference between a black person and a white person other than their skin color when there’s a tremendous difference between a man and a woman,' said White, who was the GOP’s endorsed candidate against Rep. Keith Ellison in 2008. 'Allowing a black woman and a white man to marry does not change the definition of marriage. However, allowing two men or two women to marry would fundamentally change that definition.'"
