"Kicking up their highest heels, thousands of participants from 77 countries
jogged, strutted and danced in a colourful pageant to mark the start of the
Sydney 2002 Gay Games on Saturday.

"Hello strange and beautiful family," bellowed Canadian songstress KD Lang
before serenading the estimated 25,000 athletes, aides and spectators at a
Sydney cricket field.

Lang's rendition of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk alone" was one
of the breaks from an endless string of disco tunes welcoming athletes from
around the world.

The organisers gave passing nods to the struggles of the gay activists of
previous generations and the impact of AIDS on the gay community, with pictures
of such high profile AIDS victims as the actor Rock Hudson and the rock singer
Freddy Mercury flashed on a giant TV screen.

But flying under the banner "participation, inclusion and personal best" the
games, the sixth in 20 years, are clearly a celebration of sport and hedonism.

Mixing aerobics and same-sex ballroom dancing with traditional sports,
organisers hope to draw 30,000 people and $100 million to Australia's biggest
city, home to the 2000 Olympics and the flamboyant annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi
Gras.

Wild dance parties and a cultural festival featuring the irreverent "Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence", former "Golden Girl" Bea Arthur and scores of plays,
exhibitions and performances are on the agenda for the less athletically gifted.

Australian crooner Bob Downe kicked off the seven-day event with the
lyrics "God Bless Australia, skiing all summer and surfing all winter,"
referring to reverse seasons of the Southern Hemisphere. Behind him
transvestites boogied in hot pants printed in the Australian flag.

Those seated were given pom poms and candles, the latter employed by some as
hand warmers after temperatures dropped to unseasonable levels.

But no one was complaining as a constant stream of entertainers took their turn
on the field.

The athletes, aged 18 to 89, proved just as entertaining, many garbed in
outlandish takes on national costumes or prancing near-naked hand in hand to
cheering spectators.

Representatives from the Netherlands wore giant clogs on their feet, while a
team from Florida donned pink flamingos on their heads.

A group of Australian Aborigines were dubbed the "Out Blacks".

Some of the loudest applause was heard for the small contingent of Indian and
Pakistani athletes, who opted to march together in a show of gay solidarity.

Participants from countries where homosexual relations are outlawed or
otherwise proscribed, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, were also given a warm
greeting.
