Only about 7 years too late.. some pics from the Gay Games 2002 opening ceremony and from the volleyball comp.  I was talking with Tracie the other day about other sports I've played, and of course volleyball was top of the list.  And that got me thinking of the 2002 Gay Games.  Somehow, I wound up carrying the banner for Brisbane, and since we were the host nation, Australia was last out into the arena.. so I was the first of the Australians out there.  Oh.  My.  God.  The sound of cheering was deafening.  The screaming, yelling, clapping, horns blowing etc.  It was out of this world.  And for once.. just once in my life.. I felt like the world's biggest sporting superhero.
