The Gay Games

Season 3, Ep. 132

Continuing on our sport theme, we take a look at the Gay Games, the biggest LGBT+ sports and culture event in the world, and more importantly we look at it's founder, Tom Waddell. Sarah and Jess also try and flex their language skills with some very poor French, in honor of the Paris Olympics!
