C*A*R*G*O to rejoin (indirectly) the FGG

C*A*R*G*O, the Lyon-based multisport club that co-hosted the 2006 FGG Annual Meeting, was unable to maintain its membership in the Federation of Gay Games, but will soon be rejoining the Federation in an indirect fashion, as a member club of the Fédération sportive gaie et lesbienne (FSGL).

This move strengthens the claims and the ability of the FSGL to represent LGBT sport not just in the Paris area, but throughout France, and allows C*A*R*G*O to be represented in organizations such at the EGLSF and the FGG, when its own human and financial resources make such a representation difficult.

In any case, the FGG is delighted to see our friends in Lyon again, and congratulates them and the FSGL on this partnership.
In addition to C*A*R*G*O, the FSGL has received a membership application from the organization behind "Face à face", the St Etienne gay and lesbian film festival. A first contact was made during a screening of Take the Flame several months ago, and we look forward to the next edition of the festival, which will be devoted devoted to sport and homosexuality, capping a year of LGBT film festivals in France in honor of the 2010 Gay Games.

The action of the festival goes beyond screening films, with their participation this month in a major operation on racism and homophobia in football entitled "Tous différents, tous gagnants" (We're all different, we're all winners).
