DCist Preview: Bebel Gilberto @ 9:30 Club
In an announcement today from Cologne, Germany — host city of the 2010 Gay Games — the Federation of Gay Games named Cleveland the host for their 2014 multi-sport event. Nearly one year ago, the organization selected Washington, D.C. as one of four finalists, pared down from 14 entries. D.C., Boston and Cleveland all submitted formal bids earlier this year; Miami, the fourth city, missed the bid submission deadline and was therefore no longer in contention.

That's so gay.
On the contrary, it's not nearly gay enough. DC will just never be gay enough for the Gay Games. They could re-animate the stinking corpses of Rip Taylor, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Paul Lynde and have them farting confetti in a daisy chain to the Weather Girls and still you're not even a tenth as gay as Oxnard.
Have you forgotten DC's own Wayland Flowers and Madame?
Rip Taylor isn't dead...
could have fooled me.
i'm assuming cleveland has a pretty large gay community then, is that the case?
I think you'll find that Des Moines, IA has a larger underground gay population.
My husband if from Cleveland, and says there really isn't a big gay population, community, or culture there.
We were both surprised that Cleveland was chosen.
Oh no, now waiting for the onslaught of "cleveland steamer" comments...
I'm more worried about the "Boston pancake" comments.
Whatever, dude. You don't have to be gay to enjoy taking a crap on someone's chest in bed.

Thank you, Oscar Wilde.
And thank you, Woody Allen!
I do hope these "games" will be held indoors and away from the children.
And a bad week for Jim Graham gets worse.
too soon.
I guess Miami was on gay time?
