I joined Berlin Bruisers – Germany’s first gay rugby club
Rugby. It seems that I have joined the Berlin Bruisers; Germany’s first gay rugby club. We had the club’s first meetup last night. Yes, we are creating the club from the start. Join us!
Being in a rugby club excites and surprises me both. I’m excited to play a challenging game with a bunch of soon to be friends. I’m surprised in myself to be taking up a new aggressively athletic sport at 42. But like my wise Aunt said, “Do it while you’re young. ‘Cuz when you old, you’re tired and hurt.” My friend Trinity (a natural athlete, coach of several sports, and DJ) told me I shall learn to love the burn. I’m going to remember that and repeat it over and over while having fun on the pitch.
Dave Egan tells us that for the moment, the group is made up of expats, but they welcome any Germans who would like to join in. He also says that although the still small group includes only men, women are very welcome. Berliners and visitors can meet them as they march in the Christopher Street Day parade on 23 June.
