LGBT push for London
Queer sports enthusiasts need not confine their involvement in major sporting events to the Gay Games or OutGames.
LGBT sportspeople and organisations are currently being encouraged to volunteer for the next installment of the world’s largest sporting celebration; the Olympic Games.
Organisers of the 2012 London Olympics will have a real push for diversity amongst their projected 70,000 volunteers, or ‘Games Makers’, and this includes drawing upon committed volunteers from the LGBT community.
Those interested in volunteering can first take a questionnaire on the website to see if they’re up for the challenge.
Volunteer registrations open today, September 15, and it’s understood there will be a section in the application process for prospective volunteers to include their identities – ticking the box L, G, B or T when prompted in their application.
Who knows? You could be given the taxing task of towelling off Matthew Mitcham after his dive…
