A look back at Opening Ceremony

The entrance of the FGG flag in RheinEnergie Stadium was one of the important moments at the beginning of Opening Ceremony. This year, the flag was born by men and women whose contributions to the Gay Games were recognized by Legacy and Volunteer of the Year awards.
