Gareth speaks of his experience of joining a gay sports clubs and about his visit to Reykjavík IGLA Championships last year.

Changing the World of Sport - One Gay at a Time It sounds hyperbolic to say that joining a gay sports club has changed my life, but it's true. Not only have I made great friends, improved my social life, and sharpened up my fitness, but I've grown in confidence, and discovered a love of sport.

Happy new year darling friends! Thanks for the most amazing time in 2012!

Our fabulous mayor, who you all saw during the Opening Ceremony of IGLA Reykjavik in May, is a very active human rights advocate! Check out this public letter he wrote to the mayor of Moscow this fall!

It is important for city authorities, state authorities, individuals, yes, everyone, to be initiative and doers in issues concerning peace and human rights.
People should be active in taking a stand advocating peace and human rights. Here is a copy of a letter I sent to the Lord mayor of Moscow.
