The National Gay Bowl XXI is being hosted by the Mile High City for the first time, and Denverites are gearing up for a weekend of athleticism, competition and community camaraderie.
Colorado is known as an athletic state – from fitness freaks to sports fans – and that rings true when it comes to local sports leagues. In Denver, Gay and Lesbian Flag is surging.
I’ve found myself learning the stats, subscribing to Twitter updates, reading articles and passionately rooting for my favorite athletes and top teams. I’ve never understood why I felt so enthusiastic for these sports events and not professional sports.
The Venus de Miles is Colorado’s only all-women road-ride, promoting the message: “A celebration of sisterhood” and a fundraiser benefiting the local community.
This is Denver’s second annual SportsFest, to highlight LGBT sport leagues and to promote Denver’s bid to host the 2015 North America Out Games. It’s a chance for you to get an extra week out of Pride season by starting the party a weekend early, and also a chance to break a healthy sweat.
