This young co-organiser of EuroGames2012 surprised the audience of the VIP reception in Budapest with a speech that left many of us without words:
"Organizing this event has changed a lot in my life. Before, I was only able to speak about my homosexuality with my mother. With my involvement in EuroGames2012 I felt the need to be open with all of my family members. My parents came yesterday to visit me at the EuroGames village and told me that they were proud of me and I told them that I was proud of them. Even my grandfather got involved: he used to be a board member of the Hungarian Football Federation and later today he will be awarding the medals to the winners of the football competition of EuroGames2012."
Daniel's tears infected the audience. There were tears in the eyes of almost all the guests at the reception. Thank you Dani for this touching moment which was a highlight of EuroGames2012 for many of us!
