Has the Gay Games been picked up by any of the TV networks or stations? The photos are great, but they really don’t help the cause in bring the games to the attention of the world population. Give us folks that can’t travel to these events the opportunity to see these games. Surely they can be shown on one of the many cable stations and advertised to the populus.
