Do the Gay Games, in any way, hurt the way that gay athletes are perceived?
-ยป Quite the contrary. Participants have described the Gay Games as a positive life-altering experience. As the quote above from the Vancouver newspaper indicates, the Gay Games change perceptions for the better. London powerlifter Chris Morgan, for example, got his competitive start in the Gay Games and has gone on to achieve world class status in his sport, and widespread acceptance in his community.
