Brent Minor on the disabled list!

It is with great regret that the FGG has learned that Brent Minor will not be attending Gay Games VIII. In addition to our loss of his enthusiasm and good company, we will not be able to use this opportunity to publicly display our appreciation of his leadership and contributions to LGBT sport and the Gay Games movement.

Brent was to be recognized at our Tribute to Gay Games bidders, our attempt to thank the many men and women who have worked tirelessly to offer the Federation such outstanding choices for potential host cities. Brent left the FGG to take on duties of director of Washington Metropolitan Gaymes, which bid for the 2014 Gay Games.

Brent has been a board member and co-president of the Federation, and a leader of Team DC. For these contributions, he will be recognized as a finalist for the Tom Waddell Award, the highest honor granted by the FGG to those who have made outstanding lifetime contributions to the Gay Games movement.

Unfortunately, Brent has suffered an injury which requires surgery and prevents him from traveling to Cologne. The FGG particularly appreciates his generous offer to transfer his personal registration in Gay Games VIII, and his lodging, to a scholarship recipient.

We look forward to seeing Brent among us as soon as possible, and wish him the best of luck for a speedy recovery!
