To be yourself for 4 days, who wouldn't want that?

The EuroGames 2011 Outreach program can make it happen for gays from countries where they are not accepted for who they are.

From July 20th until 24th, thousands of athletes enter into the arena in Rotterdam at the EuroGames 2011. Lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals and transgender from all over Europa will participate in more than twenty sports tournaments. A number of these athletes live in countries where they are not accepted because of their sexual identity. Also these participants cannot afford their travel expenses because of their country's lower standard of living. EuroGames Rotterdam has developed the Outreach program to help these athletes to take part in the games. This will allow them to be themselves for 4 days and to experience what it is like not having to hide your identity. And to find the strength and inspiration necessary to commit to gay emancipation when they are home again. Because everybody has the right to be who they are: gay rights are human rights.

Many friends support the Outreach program financially. However we need many more in order to comply with all requests for financial support.
