For Interpride magazine, LGBT sport starts with Tom Waddell at 1968 Olympics

The 2012 Interpride magazine features 16 "Game Changers", "16 amazing Americans who are giving their
all to promote equality on (and off) the court". Their timeline gives pride of place to the Gay Games, starting with Dr Tom Waddell's participation in the 1968 Olympics, then his feature as the first gay couple in People magazine's "Couples" section, and Gay Games I in 1982.
