[GLOSS News] Copenhagen World Outgames 2009: You are invited!

[GLOSS]

Ready, set, go... to Copenhagen

Copenhagen is World Outgames 2009 and you are invited

Copenhagen, Denmark - Although known for openness towards sex and  
acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)  
lifestyles, Copenhagen remains a mystery city of fairy tales and  
Vikings to many LGBT men and women. We are going to change that!

Under the banner "Love of freedom, freedom to love", World Outgames  
2009 will take place in an atmosphere of friendliness and inclusion  
where lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender people, their friends,  
families, supporters and even the curious will be able to meet in a  
spirit of tolerance to enjoy and learn from the richness of human  
diversity.

We have room for at least 8,000 registered participants in 38 sporting  
disciplines, a diverse cultural program and a human rights conference.  
In addition, many thousands of tourists are expected to attend.

The first World Outgames were held in Montreal, Canada in 2006 and  
attracted more than 12 thousand registered participants from 111  
countries.

Fittingly, the World Outgames 2009 in Copenhagen will also celebrate  
the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York that  
sparked the coming out of millions of LGBT people in the US and around  
the world. Stonewall Veterans'' website www.stonewallvets.org.
