ABSTRACT
A woman neither of us knows worked last year for the Gay Games, a homosexual version of the Olympics, but one whose relationship to the “real” Olympics had to be legally decided. The Olympic committee, as some of you know, secured trademark control over the use of the word “Olympics” and hence the organizers of the identity-based sports extravaganza chose “Games” to accompany “Gay” as the alternative to the forbidden word. “Olympics” now legally stands against the fall into sexual sin and disgrace, officially protected from the homosexual, that bitter fruit.
