My name is Samuel Gouyet. I was born in 1970 in Normandy, France and I teach biology in Paris.
What gay and lesbian sporting clubs are you a member of and how long have you been with them?
I am a member of Contrepied (gay and lesbian volleyball of Paris) for 15 years. I used to be involved in the FSGL (French gay and lesbian sports federation) for 10 years. I have also been a member of the Freezone Volleyball Club for five years.
When did you get involved in the clubs and why?
I got involved when I was sent to Paris for my job. I read an article on Eurogames (European Gay Games) where I learned about the volleyball gay and lesbian association. I found the idea wonderful and wanted to be part of it. One year later I became president and stayed on the board for the following 13 years.
