Gay Games V - Friendship '98
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Some estimates said a quarter of a million visitors from all over the world
attended the first Gay Games in Europe during August 1998. The City of
Amsterdam welcomed participants like no other host — the yellow flags
with the Gay Games V tulip-and-triangle logo were everywhere. Out of 13,038
registered participants, 11,949 athletes contested 29 official and 4 demonstration
sports. Of the 1,089 participants in the cultural festival, 850 were in
the choral program. Women made up 42 percent of all participants, the first
time that had happened since Gay Games I. |
