A documentary film crew followed several teams heading into the 2010 Gay Bowl in Phoenix, Ariz. The crew was headed up by NYGFL player Seth Greenleaf, a theater and documentary film producer.

Real Housewives of South Boston’s Super Bowl message; Peyton leaves Brady a voicemail
As a ‘Real Housewives’ fan who grew up in Massachusetts, I am in love with the Real Housewives of South Boston. And they don’t hold back with their Super Bowl message. Not only does the entire video have a super hot shirtless guy (Mahky Mahk’s cousin) doing push-ups who seems like anal sex (at 1:40), [...]
Rudy Galindo snubbed by U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame. Homophobia or racism at play?
U.S. Figure Skating has again snubbed openly gay former U.S. champion Rudy Galindo for their Hall of Fame (video of his amazing championship 1996 performance is below). And some are wondering how many different prejudices have come into play this time. For the Mexican-American, openly gay skating champion who publicly disclosed he has HIV, there [...]
Rick Welts talks about ‘fear of the unknown,’ says he never experienced homophobia
Rick Welts gave an interview to LZ Granderson at a forum for the 2011 Out & Equal Workplace Summit in which he talked about coming out at work. When asked about what made Welts think he couldn’t come out of the closet in the NBA for so many years, he reiterated what we’ve been saying [...]
David Beckham’s Super Bowl H&M underwear ad and America’s Fear of the bulge
You don’t have to wait for the Super Bowl to see soccer hottie David Beckham’s underwear commercial for H&M. Whether you see it on TV or YouTube (after the jump), one thing you won’t see is Beckham’s famous bulge. There’s been a long-standing fear of the bulge in American culture. Why do so many American [...]
Ferris Bueller stealing the Super Bowl show
While the Super Bowl, pitting the New England Patriots against the New York Giants, will threaten to be the most-hyped football game in memory, the commercials are giving the game a run for its money. We previously reported on a Volkswagen commercial featuring Star Wars dogs and an underwear commercial featuring the best side of [...]
Andrew Goldstein, America’s first out pro team-sport athlete, issues a challenge
When we put together our list of the 100 most important moments in LGBT sports history, we knew we’d probably overlook something. Maybe an Austrian hurdler came out in the Eighties, or some Slovakian soccer player had said something horribly homophobic and damaging. And we may have missed something like that. But I was incredibly [...]
Video: Body transformation in just a couple months
This is an old video but I just stumbled across it. It’s a testament to the power of determination. This guy Chris Krueger obviously had a really nice body at some point before his injury, and he wanted to get it back. In 70 days he lost a boatload of weight and looked fantastic. When [...]
Video: Is this the ‘Best of gay sports?’
OMGay.tv has put together what they call the “Best of Gay Sports” videos. No, it’s not the finals of the latest Gay Softball World Series. You won’t see any thunderous dunks from the Coady Roundball Classic. Failing to make the cut were any of the hard hits from the Gay Superbowl. No, the producers decided [...]
Star Wars Volkswagen Super Bowl teaser is something to howl about
Thanks to Towleroad for tracking down this fantastic Super Bowl commercial teaser (video after the jump). Yes, the Super Bowl has gotten so big that the commercials have teaser trailers. Insane. As a long-time Star Wars fan, this one certainly has me excited. A dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes bark the Imperial March [...]
Fantastic ‘Gay rights movement’ video doesn’t include sports
A fantastic, moving video was posted on YouTube earlier this week that chronicles the ups and downs of the gay rights movement. From being outcasts in the ’50s to defeating Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, it touches some of the more powerful moments in gay-rights history. While the video includes references to politics, entertainment, youth, housing, [...]
Video: Anderson Cooper talks with Kye Allums
A few weeks ago, Anderson Cooper featured transgender youth on his program. For the last few minutes of the show he chatted via Webcam with trans former George Washington basketball player Kye Allums. Allums talked about his struggles being accepted, particularly by his mother. Video after the jump. Allums comes in at minute 36:00. Share [...]
Michael Irvin’s favorite Madonna songs are like Tim Tebow’s: ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Like a Prayer’
With the announcement that Madonna will stage the halftime performance for Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Marshall Faulk asked Michael Irvin what is his favorite Material Girl song. Well probably the same one Tebow has, you know. Probably ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Like a Prayer.’ Share on Facebook
Video: ‘Gymnast and diver’ sells real estate
Almost everything — like 99.9% — of what we post on Outsports is sports-related. With that in mind, I want to point your attention to the fact that the man in the video below 1) lifts weights in a gym and 2) dives into a pool. With that out of the way, we present this [...]
Gay-positive sports-fan video getting some play in Montenegro
Marc Naimark of the Federation of Gay Games tracked down an interesting video from Eastern Europe that shows…cover the kids’ eyes…two gay sports fans kissing! The video was produced by Danilo Marunovic, who lives in Montenegro’s capital city of Podgorica. From the video’s YouTube page: Video clip “We are part of the team!”, by Danilo [...]
