I discovered during the Outgames week that there were cases of cross pollination in the sports events. A friend of mine told me about the figureskating and the country western partcipants, and how both groups got inspired to watch and cheer for each other but also “hang out” and learn from each other after the competitions were over. I guess I wasn’t really that surprised, it just made me very happy to see that this was the case. I do hope that more groups of people from different sports have interacted with other sports groups, being it individual or team sports and I would like to know more about how you came to interact with them and what you have learned about them and their sports. I hope that your replies can help me get in insider view of why this event was necessary and what you have taken home from the event.
