Gay Games blog report, July 31
At the Chicago Gay Games, or any Gay Games for that matter, I am overwhelmed by the massive quantity of gay people milling about all over town.
There are gay people in every restaurant, every store and every train. You even get to a point where straight people start to appear gay to you. I fully expect the same thing to happen in Cologne.
On my flight to Zurich, I sat next to a straight boy named Jacob. I wasn’t even in Cologne yet and I felt the gay beast within taking over. Jacob was dressed like Indiana Jones and I was immediately smitten.
Kevin: Ooh, I love a theme party. Where are you headed?
Jacob: I am going to Nairobi to check out Collared Cats.
Kevin: Oh yea, wasn’t their last CD really dark techno?
Jacob: I am doing a research study on lions that have been collared.
Kevin: Oh, will you be staying at the Nairobi Ritz?
Jacob: I brought a tent.
Kevin: Oh, so you will be in a tent in the woods with boys?
Jacob puts his headphones on.
Let the games begin.

Sounds like your gay beast was already scratching at the surface! Meow.

Nothing better than having roles reversed for a while. We always have to suffer through embarassing questions as people assume we are straight… It is very good for them to have a taste of it – and yes, let the games begin!
