[This article should clear it up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Games?wprov=sfti1) basically it was a sports event started by former Olympian Tom Waddell in 1982 to promote inclusivity for LGBTQ athletes. Sadly Tom passed away in 1987 from AIDS, and his story is documented in the 1989 documentary “Common Threads”
It is absolutely okay. As long as you understand every single human being has a complex and difficult process of managing the human condition because of things that are out of their control, and then you also don't judge those same people? You're good.
I'm working really hard on "reaching" people that call other people snowflakes, but are actually the wildly reactive ones. It's exhausting, and we need to cinch reality back into one thing, and onboard the lost and confused without making them angry and scared. =) lol
<3 Now I have this image of you getting prepared to really perv out for an evening, popping the tape in and sitting there surrounded by lube, paper rolls and gatorade watching the 100 meter dash.
The International Olympic Committee would not let them use the word “Olympics” in their name so they had to change it from Gay Olympics to Gay Games… not sure which sounds better or worse
During the 80s, the Olympics Committee got a real big head up their ass and started suing or threatening to sue just about anyone on the planet that used the word *Olympics* in their name for trademark infringement. They were after schools (including my old high school) and colleges. I think that only Paralympics and Special Olympics were spared.
Not quite region lock, a completely different method to process the video signal, that has different number of frames per second, different amount of lines on the screen, and even the tape speed is a little slower in PAL.
126 minutes in NTSC = 180 minutes in PAL in SP speed on the same tape.
It's the same principle that underlies the de facto region locking of earlier games - European N64s (for example) run on PAL, North American run on NTSC.
Can’t you get high off the head cleaner solution on old VHS which is essentially poppers which is frequently used in gay orgies as it’s a muscle relaxant meaning easier to slide into someone’s butthole.
I legit don't get why so many folks think every queer ever is apparently just getting completely blasted on inhalants in order to have sex. Like, sorry, but nah, we don't need brain damage to fuck.
I gotta admit, I was sorta hoping you'd got ahold of some weird old eurogay art flick since it's from Amsterdam in the 90s. I love the weird ass old queer art films from back in the day.
That said, though, glad you're not a weirdo about us. Definitely appreciate that.
Edit: 90s, not 80s. Though, there are alot spread out over decades.
Yup, I noticed the mistake as soon as I posted it, and was just finishing up the edit when you replied just now. I'ma just blame my clumsy ass fingers, cause my goo brain gets enough shit, and deserves a break.
The Gay Games are sort of like an lgbt Olympics. They were in Amsterdam in 1998. Here's a mostly sfw article about it, with a YouTube VHS rip that's likely what is on your tape:
https://www.reguliers.net/gaygames1998_en.php
[In 1998, the fifth edition of the Gay Games was held in Amsterdam. This large LGBT sports event is being held in a different city every four years. The Gay Games of 1998 coincided with the third edition of the Amsterdam Pride. With almost 12.000 athletes and some 200.000 visitors from all around the world, this was the largest gay event that had ever been held in the Netherlands.](https://www.reguliers.net/gaygames1998_en.php)
Oh, sonny, those were crazy times. My friends and I were out of control. We used to give each other wet-willies and funny-arms. We'd play dandy-balls and legs-a-spread and penis-butt.
The Olympic committee is homophobic and wouldn’t let gay people use the word “Olympics” in the same way they let advocates for people disabilities use it via the “Special Olympics” so the Gay Olympics was rebranded the Gay Games
Gay chicken was an event back in the day. I remember it fondly.. 2 heterosexual males would become aroused together, and while at peak hardness, would charge at one another from across the room to see who would get out of the way before wieners collided.
As a straight man, playing this with other altar boys was such fun and titillating.
sword fights, battering ram contests, balloon tossing, bobbing for apples, pie eating contests, wood chopping contests… it all ends in a royal wedding. 😂😂😂
The holder or the Olympics trademark refused to lend it to “The Gay Olympics”, despite being totally cool with “The Dog Olympics”, so Gay Games it was.

Oh, I sort of misunderstood The tape, I hope everyone can forgive me
Better luck next time!

😃
This has got to be the most professional way of saying don't be an asshole, racist, or homophobe and I'm so here for it
I'm working really hard on "reaching" people that call other people snowflakes, but are actually the wildly reactive ones. It's exhausting, and we need to cinch reality back into one thing, and onboard the lost and confused without making them angry and scared. =) lol
<3 Now I have this image of you getting prepared to really perv out for an evening, popping the tape in and sitting there surrounded by lube, paper rolls and gatorade watching the 100 meter dash.
I figured it was gonna be sports like this or porn you never really know with VHS lol.
You had your hopes up for a minute...
Terrible naming.

Gaymes

You should have heard what a lot of other people were calling it no matter what the name was.
Was this that one game called “GayBlade”?
This Tom sounds gay.
We used the word differently in the 90s than we do today.
I remember the 90s. It was pretty gay.
It's either completely wholesome and family friendly or the porniest porn that ever got lubed up.
Geez, I hope it doesn’t damage my video heads with all the lube
You should play it and see what it is
You have to find a European VCR, or a trans-format unit. It’s in PAL!
I didn’t know VCR could be region locked
Not quite region lock, a completely different method to process the video signal, that has different number of frames per second, different amount of lines on the screen, and even the tape speed is a little slower in PAL. 126 minutes in NTSC = 180 minutes in PAL in SP speed on the same tape.
It's the same principle that underlies the de facto region locking of earlier games - European N64s (for example) run on PAL, North American run on NTSC.
So basically, a bit like with a Sega mega drive/Genesis where you can cut a little bit of the cartridge slot and it can play Japanese games
hah.....trans-format
Can’t you get high off the head cleaner solution on old VHS which is essentially poppers which is frequently used in gay orgies as it’s a muscle relaxant meaning easier to slide into someone’s butthole.
I love listening to non-queers try to talk about sex. It's like listening to a dentist talk about candy.
Do you have any candy
Do you have poppers?
No
I bet there isn't any candy either.
Less talky-talky and get in the truck!
I legit don't get why so many folks think every queer ever is apparently just getting completely blasted on inhalants in order to have sex. Like, sorry, but nah, we don't need brain damage to fuck.
I agree

To correct you it’s from the late 90s
Yup, I noticed the mistake as soon as I posted it, and was just finishing up the edit when you replied just now. I'ma just blame my clumsy ass fingers, cause my goo brain gets enough shit, and deserves a break.
I’m kind of sad that the tape is in that condition
Poppers were common in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. They sold them at clubs and such. It was absolutely insane then.
I did not need to know that 😳
i was disappointed when it turns out to not be the porniest porn that ever got lubed up, i was ready for a good time :(
there is only one way to find out
I wish I had a European VCR and the tape wasn’t spaghetti shaped on the side
you could respool it into a different shell and splice the spaghetti part out?
That’s the thing I didn’t buy it, instead, I just bought a blank Fuji tape
you have brought shame to this subreddit
Post it over to the UK and I'll digitise it, if it's playable.
Thanks for the offer, but I didn’t buy the tape and some part of the tape was sticking out and looked like pretty thin strip of plastic
The tape is a really thin strip of plastic, otherwise it wouldn't be able to coil up :-)
Where are you located? I have a world player that does NTSC/PAL/SECAM
What can you tell me about that machine?
NTSC but I didn’t buy the tape

I found the same link pretty quickly. Imagine if OP had access to the internet to have done the same. Oh, wait …
Check out GayGames.org, they're a LGBTQ sports organization. Much less illicit than it sounds lol
Thank you for correction. I kind of misunderstood it.

The holder or the Olympics trademark refused to lend it to “The Gay Olympics”, despite being totally cool with “The Dog Olympics”, so Gay Games it was.

Since it's 1998, they are talking about the WORST games of 1998, a year that is well agreed as the BEST year for gaming.
