Apparently Montreal will be hosting the first World OutGames this summer. I didn't occur to me until I started reading, they mean "out" as in "out of the closet!" I believe in treating everyone equally, and I think this event is a major contradiction of this belief. If you take a quick look, this event seems to aim to show off all of the flamboyant stereotypes we have. It will involve traditional events such as cycling, swimming, and track and field, but also incorporate things like "physique" a bodybuilding competition, "dancesport" a ballroom dancing competition, and my personal favorite "pink flamingo" a new take on syncronized swimming. I support the right of everyone to be able to express themselves and be treated equally, but I don't think this is a good example of that. I would really like to hear your honest opinion on this. Please comment (annonymously if necessary.)
