By Gary N. Reese In 1996, I was ready to hop on a jet to Munich, rent a car and drive up into the mountainous foothills of the Bavarian Alps to Lake Starnberg where Leni Riefenstahl lived. In semi-retirement. Semi, because Leni Riefenstahl never stopped working. She was the director of Olympia, the most famous […]

If you ever wanted to know the deep dark secrets of a lesbian tennis player, you may get your wish. Martina Navratilova has ended a eight-year relationship with her partner, Toni Layton, and now the partner is threatening to tell everything she knows. Navratilova apparently offered Layton $200,000 as a settlement of their affairs. That […]

At right is a picture of me (wearing the Outsports cap) with Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, taken at the Phillies Phestival charity event in 2003.

The story of Sarah Gronert has been at the back of my mind for a while, and a new Advocate article has finally spurred me to post about her. She’s an intersex (the I in LGBTQQI) player who has been cleared to play on the WTA Tour. The case is a first of its kind […]

The Football Association and the Professional Footballers Association have teamed up in England to send every guy a message: Play with your balls. Oh those crazy Brits Their ‘Keep Your Eye On The Ball‘ campaign is aimed at preventing “male” cancer, most notably testicular and prostate cancers.

With the NFL Draft looming, I’m surprised no one has brought up the pictures of Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford that were taken several years ago at Talladega. Back when the NFL prospect was a freshman, a friend snapped pics of him spooning and nuzzling with another guy; Of course, that friend then posted them on […]

By Patricia Nell WarrenOutsports.comThe end of Women’s History Month is a good time for Outsports to celebrate the first female to wear a victor’s crown of olive leaves at the ancient Olympic Games. In […]

All weekend, according to Amazon.com, the writings of Hitler and sexually graphic straight novels were fine, but any gay-themed books, including “The Outsports Revolution,” were not. In what the online retailer is calling a “glitch” that is being fixed, all books in the “gay and lesbian” category were removed from sales rankings and in some […]

This just about leaves me speechless. Among the possible bidders for the Montreal Canadiens (as well as the Bell Centre arena and a concert promotion division) is none other than singer Celine Dion. I assume the arena and concert promotion angles are really what interests her. Montreal fans will remain loyal to the Canadiens — […]

The Gay Bowl is also, apparently, an annual football game held every Thanksgiving in Eureka, […]

There isn't a heck of a lot of information on the Web about Norwegian Greco-Roman wrestler Kim-Idar Molnes. We know he's from Oslo and that he's 20 years old. Aaaaaaand that's about it.

Thanks to Sportinlife for the tip on this video montage of French rugby players Clément Poitrenaud, Frédéric Michalak and Vincent Clerc. It looks like a lot of images are from the Dieux de Stade calendars. It was posted a while back, but my guess is that most people haven’t seen it. Thanks to Sportinlife for […]
