The Gay Games is the world's largest sporting and cultural event organized by and specifically for LGBT athletes, artists, musicians, and others. It welcomes participants of every sexual orientation and every skill level. Originally called the Gay Olympics, it was started in San Francisco in 1982, as the brainchild of Tom Waddell, whose goals were to promote the spirit of inclusion and participation, as well as the pursuit of personal growth in a sporting event. It retains many similarities with the Olympics, including the Gay Games flame which is lit at the opening ceremony.
The Gay Games is open to all who wish to participate, without regard to sexual orientation. There are no qualifying standards to compete in the Gay Games. It brings together people from all over the world, many from countries where homosexuality remains illegal and hidden.
The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) is the sanctioning body of the Gay Games. From its statement of concept and purpose:
The purpose of the Federation of Gay Games is to foster and augment the self-respect of lesbians and gay men throughout the world and to engender respect and understanding from the nongay world, primarily through an organized international participatory athletic and cultural event held every four years, and commonly known as the Gay Games.
Gay Games VIII were held in Cologne, Germany from July 31 to August 6, 2010.

Kelly is a student I met in Paris a while back. She was busying herself around a temporary photo exhibition denouncing racial discrimination. She gladly let me take a portrait but she was very shy. I took a few shots to get a lovely smile!

For the detailed challenge. Cody's white chin and hanging jowls, frosted and and snowy from a day in the snow.
Cody turned 3 years old last Friday, December 9th. I cannot believe how time flies!
I was on my way to pick up a friend to set up for the Kim Richey gig that Biddulph Up In Arms was putting on - there were no parking places in her street so I decided to go round the block to see if anyone might move. Turned the corner and there was a builder's lorry parked on the pavement. As I was slowly overtaking there was an almighty bang and my window shattered. Turns out one of the builders had been throwing heavy building rubble into the lorry and missed - hitting my car, smashing the passenger side window and damaging every single panel on the passenger side. Insurance will cover the repair, but I have to pay £350 excess - and get a strike on my no-claims (it wasn't a road traffic accident, so it came under 3rd party rules) - however, I have supplied the details of the builder who was responsible for the damage to my insurance company and their assessor will try to see if there is a strong enough case to make him pay.
The gig went ahead and went some way to alleviating the crappiness of the day. I wasn't injured, but somewhat shocked for a while after.
The car is currently with the repair company and I'm getting a courtesy car tomorrow.
Colby is this year's Christmas Blythe. She has amazing peachy-pink eyechips and blush and they really make her look all glowy in person. So cute!
