Whoever is brave enough to do so, quite often has to bear defamation and abuse. Especially lesbians are affected. Most homosexuals choose the strategy to be silent and to hide in order to be accepted. This way lesbians and gay factor out an important part of their lives. While heterosexuals openly talk about their day-to-day life at home, lesbians and gays circumvent the topic of relationships. This is humiliating – and the EuroGames are campaigning to change matters. As a lesbian-gay big event the Games are not only a tournament of likeminded people that will show that lesbians and gays in sport do exist and that they do sport like everybody else. The EuroGames have a political statement as well: against intolerance, ostracism and violence they promote the statement: “Everybody is welcome irrespective of their origin, sexual orientation, religious or political alignment. In the last 20 years a lot was achieved. But we can barely talk of complete equalisation. Depressing is especially the situation in rural areas outside of Western Europe’s main cities or in Eastern and Southern Europe. The recently planned parade of homosexuals in Cracow had to be abandoned because the police could not guarantee for the safety of the participants. And also in Germany the protests of some self-appointed upholders of moral standards at the Christopher Street Day in Altötting (Southern Bavaria) end of June has shown how deep the Bavarian province today can still be. It is a cliché that women and gays can’t play football – a cliché that will definitely be disproved of during the EuroGames in Munich.
