Did you know that this summer’s Olympics is the first time that the Olympic Games have been postponed and rescheduled? Did you know Tokyo is the first city in Asia to host the Summer Games twice? Did you know there is now a comedy show for people who don’t “get” sports at all ? Well, there is! Did we mention it’s a (somewhat) educational show about queerness in sports? Well, now we did! Tuesday, August 3rd join comedian and host Cole Steffensen as the audience and guests learn about the rules, history, and the plethora of phobias and gynys that revolve around every single sport ever! Some of the questions you may hear at Sports for Gays (and Curious Straights) include:
What’s the history of queer athletes at the Olympics?
Who’s the most famous gay athlete?
If the Olympics was a person, would it be gay, and if so, why?
That’s a lot of questions that require answers! Your guests representing the nations of “Straight’ and “Gay,” respectively, at this pivotal event include:
Becca Stephenson (Buzzfeed)
and Otter Lee (Tooning Out the News)!
These guests/contestants will bravely “duke it out in Olympic-themed challenges to win the gold!” Questions will be answered and knowledge will be acquired this August at Caveat! Enjoy!
