The Gay Games is an important piece of new social history,
examining one of the largest sporting, cultural and human rights
events in the world. Since their inception in 1980, the Gay Games
have developed into a multi-million dollar mega-event, engaging
people from all continents, while the international Gay Games
movement has become one of the largest and most significant
international institutions for gay and lesbian people. Drawing on
detailed archival research, oral history and participant
observation techniques, and informed by critical feminist theory
and queer theory, this book offers the first comprehensive history
of the Gay Games from 1980 through to the Chicago games of 2006. It
explores the significance of the Games in the context of broader
currents of gay and lesbian history, and addresses a wide range of
key contemporary themes within sports studies, including the
cultural politics of sport, the politics of difference and
identity, and the rise of sporting mega-events. This book is
important reading for any serious student of international sport or
gender and sexuality studies.
