This week, Copenhagen is hosting the world Out Games. To those of you out of the "hoop", it's the same as the Olympics, but with gays. The marquee event is the 69 meter dash, in which 69 people compete to break the world record of 6.9 seconds. It's worth noting that in the gymnastics competition, the teams consist of the exact same individuals that participated in China last year. Which raises an interesting question - how does one actually qualify to be considered gay? What kind of proof are we talking about here?

The city is filled with competing athletes and their supporters. It's not uncommon to see men dressed in their team uniforms walking down the street. Saw two guys in Mexico sports outfits shopping. Funny.
