2006 Gay Games

The 2006 Gay Games (Gay Games VII), colloquially called the Chicago Gaymes, was part of a family of international sports and cultural festivals called Gay Games, sanctioned by the Federation of Gay Games and organized by the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender community of the host city of Chicago, Illinois in the United States. The competition took place July 15– July 22, 2006. The official Gay Games VII slogan was "Where the World Meets."
Actual athletic events were played in venues scattered throughout Chicago and its suburbs, all participating in the Gay Games through special permissive votes in their respective town or village councils. Cultural events included concerts and performances by the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Margaret Cho, Megan Mullally, among others added to the festival's feel and charm. Contemporary artists also provided exhibitions as part of the Gay Games.
Corporate sponsorship were key in planning Gay Games VII, garnering support for global advertising from large companies like Absolut Vodka, American Airlines, Ernst & Young, Fleishman-Hillard and Walgreens. Media relationships were created with the Chicago Sun-Times, New York Times, ChicagoPride.com and the National Broadcasting Company. Advocacy groups like the Human Rights Campaign offered substantial funding for the event, as well.
==Bidding Process==
Four cities submitted bids. Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Montreal. The decision was made September of 2001 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This was Chicago's first time bidding for the Gay Games. Chicago, as well as Atlanta and Los Angeles, provided an opprotunity for the Gay Games to return to the United States for the first time since the 1994 Gay Games in New York City.〔
Chicago's bid team published a 100-page brochure to impress the selection committee. Chicago's bid promised for "a celebration--a multiethnic, spirited family reunion of sorts." Ideas presented included dying the Chicago River rainbow in celebration of gay pride.
Chicago's bid placed an emphasis on Chicago's status as a hub of international travel.〔
Chicago's bid was backed by several corporate sponsors. These included include Miller Brewing Company, United Airlines and Third Coast Marketing.〔
Chicago's bid planned to feature 30 athletic contests. These included basketball, beach volleyball, flag football, golf, ice hockey, body building, rugby, soccer, swimming and diving, a variety of track and field events including a marathon, ballroom dancing and figure skating.〔
Proposed venues in Chicago's bid included Soldier Field (opening and closing ceremonies), McCormick Place (volleyball, wrestling, and martial arts), Northwestern University (diving), and the UIC Pavilion (figure skating). Events were also planned to be held at the yet-completed Millennium Park.〔
