The seven-day event features sports, exhibits, a downtown outdoor festival, cultural competitions and more. Co-hosts Orie and SaRea traveled to the games during opening weekend to check out the opening ceremony, mingle with spectators and participants and check out the nightlife. We talked to Clevelanders at Festival Village, the heart of the games, and we popped in to the Old School Iron Gym in Brook Park, Ohio to check out the power lifting competition. We'll bring you the story of a woman who overcame breast cancer to participate in lifting at the games. And she has a pretty cool motorcycle.
We also talk to Co-Host Emeritus Deo and Guest Reporter Jason Bourde, live from Cleveland, about their adventures to Gay Games events around the region. And we have an interview with gold medalist Mason Caminiti who participated in Bodybuilding. Caminiti shares his personal story on becoming a bodybuilder and participating the games.
Then, we expand the discussion on LGBT people and sports with a crosstalk featuring New York Daily News Sports Reporter Madison Hartman. Hartman discusses some of the key figures in LGBT sports news, LGBT players in professional sports and more.
Plus, the latest LGBTQ news from around the nation and around the world.
