 No one involved with the first Gay Games — organisers,
participants, supporters or spectators — knew quite
what to expect beforehand, but the opening ceremony at Kezar
Stadium on Saturday, 28 August, proved to be one of the most
uplifting events in gay and lesbian history. That day marked
the beginning of a week of spirited competition in 17 sports
by about 1,350 athletes from 12 countries. Lives were changed,
and it was clear the Gay Games would be held again.
