What impact do the Gay Games have on athletes and cultural 
participants?
A
For more than two decades, supporters of the Gay Games 
have brought together thousands of athletes every four years 
to show the world their pride, their poise and their passion. 
Every four years Gay Games participants converge to 
celebrate the empowerment of individual achievement and 
the triumph of collective cooperation. A primary legacy of the 
Gay Games has been the athletes and artists themselves, 
enabling the genesis of countless LGBT athletic and cultural 
organisations. 

The Gay Games have always worked for and are committed 
to social activism through sports and culture. Creating safe 
opportunities for LGBT persons to participate in sports and 
culture is where the Gay Games (and the FGG) have had their 
biggest impact. The Gay Games is primarily designed to 
empower the participants, but certainly the great social 
legacy the Gay Games has had is in the molding of 
perceptions.
