A Labor of Love

I

@CompeteEric

love putting together our annual swimsuit issue. When we did our first swimsuit issue in 2007 we made a point to photograph outstanding athletes who were making a difference just by being who they really were. And I am proud to say the same holds true for our ninth annual swimsuit issue.

This year’s participants are truly outstanding individuals as you will see from their photos both in swimsuits and in their athletic gear.

West Hollywood Dodgeball sent two of their own dodgeball greats to the photo shoot, Chris and Allan. Besides dodgeball, Chris played soccer growing up and Allan wrestled and played baseball. As sports lovers, they joined WeHo Dodgeball early in the league’s formation.

Arizona was also well represented by two amazing athletes. Trent is a triathlete and runner who is a member of the Phoenix Frontrunners while Baylen runs with the Frontrunners and also plays for the Arizona Gay Volleyball Association.

All our athletes shine on their respective fields, courts, tracks, etc. In fact, this year we decided to include pictures of the swimsuit participants in both their active wear and swimsuits. This is something we may make a part of future swimsuit issues.

As always, it takes many talented people to produce a photoshoot of this caliber and we want to extend our deepest appreciation to our photographer Leland Gebhardt and our stylists from TUC Shops.

We are very proud to work with so many amazing organizations that include professional athletes, amateur athletes and weekend warriors in their membership. They are changing the face of the old homophobic atmosphere in sports to one of diversity that’s welcoming to all. And we are already looking forward to making an even bigger splash with next year’s 10th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue.

Sport On,

Eric Carlyle Chief Executive Officer eric@competenetwork.com

e’re now officially into the spring season, meaning it’s time for our ninth annual swimsuit issue. This year is part of a return to our original idea of honoring real athletes—gay or straight­—who love sports and are participants in changing the face of sports into a more open, accepting culture simply through their love of whatever game they play.

We got so many positive comments on last year’s use of regular athletes that we decided to use regular athletes in this year’s photoshoot as well. Now this isn’t saying that our readers don’t appreciate looking at perfectly chiseled swimsuit models; they’re just happy to see bodies that look more like theirs. So if you haven’t gotten your body into swimsuit shape yet, it’s time to start!

In addition to the swimsuit eye candy there are stories on the Phoenix Frontrunners 17th Annual Pride Run & Walk and a fun night-time fluorescent cycling event in Palm Springs—their bi-annual Cycledelic Festival & Ride that promotes bike safety. It’s also a free event and while supplies last, bike lights and glow in the dark decorations will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. And if you missed the rodeo in Arizona, fear not.

We’ve got rodeo action in Las Vegas so get your cowboy/ cowgirl on and mosey on over to Vegas.

Don’t miss our expanded travel section written by our travel editor Brian Raymond from Out Destinations.

He’s got some great information in this issue on scoping out the great city of Seattle. No matter where you want to travel, Brian provides great travel information, especially on a location’s gay-friendly locations and attractions.

So no matter where you are, get ready—EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL! Keep Smiling,

I found a home and a family here.

Teri, D.A.P. client

D.A.P. treats and supports the whole person I was so sick when I came to D.A.P. the first time that my case manager called an ambulance and sent me to the hospital— and then visited me there to finish my intake, so I could get the services I needed so much! When I was released, I was homeless...but my case manager set me up with an apartment and made sure I was back on the right track to good health. Although I’ve had other case managers since that first visit, D.A.P. has always been there, helping me every step of the way.

This and more...all under one roof Thanks to your generous support, Desert AIDS Project has been saving lives for more than 30 years.

SPEED READ GAY GAMES 9 LEAVES A POSITIVE LEGACY

N

OW THAT THE VARIOUS sports competitions and cultural events of Gay Games 9 are fond memories for its participants, spectators and community members, the organizers have announced that this was the most financially successful Games in the organization’s 32-year history.

As the largest world-class inclusive sporting and cultural event held every four years, the Gay Games gives athletes from across the globe the opportunity to come together under its founding principles of “Participation, Inclusion and Personal Best.” Held during August 2014 in the northeastern Ohio areas of Cleveland and Akron, the next Games will be held in Paris in 2018.

According to the Cleveland Foundation, lead sponsor of the Gay Games, here is a numbers breakdown of the recent event: • 20,000 athletes and visitors • $52.1 million economic impact • $6.8 million revenue raised (from sponsors, civic organizations, participant fees) • 36 sports spread across 40 venues to continue efforts for a more inclusive and diverse community in Ohio’s northeast community.

• 3,000 volunteers • 200 credentialed media • $120,000 donated to create a new Gay Games LGBT Legacy Fund at the Cleveland Foundation to continue efforts for a more inclusive and diverse community in Ohio’s northeast community.

Thomas Nobbe, executive director of Gay Games 9 said at a recent forum on the lessons and legacies of the Games that another $27,000 will go toward boosting the Gay Community Endowment Fund of the Akron Community Foundation.

Nobbe gave credit to generous corporate sponsors for the economic success of games and also praised event organizers who were committed to

| COMPETE | April 2015

leaving the Cleveland and Akron areas with a gift that will help to continue the Games’ legacy. He also noted that the board leadership of Gay Games 9 placed importance on operating in a fiscally responsible manner, saying that the “event planners learned from previous games, which offered elaborate—but very expensive—opening ceremonies.

We were advised not to go overboard,” he said.

The Opening Ceremonies in Cleveland saw a huge rainbow flag rolled out while thousands of athletes from over 50 countries and representatives from across the United States proudly marched to officially start Gay Games 9. Presenters and performances included Greg Louganis, Lance Bass and the Pointer Sisters and also included chorale groups and the Gay Games Team Marching Band as part of the week-long celebration.

ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY ADDING MORE SAFETY BARRIERS

F

OLLOWING KYLE BUSCH’S accident during the recent NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Daytona International Speedway (DIS), Atlanta Motor Speedway and NASCAR officials reviewed existing SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barriers and other walls at the track and decided to add a total of 130 linear feet of extra protective barrier.

Busch sustained a compound fracture in his lower right leg and a mid-foot break in his left foot, the result of a multi-car wreck that caused his No. 54 Toyota to strike a concrete wall at nearly full speed. Joie Chitwood III, DIS president vowed to add SAFER barriers to “every inch” of the DIS facility.

Meanwhile, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer Steve O’Donnell took responsibility for the accident, telling FOX Sports “As promised, we expedited a review of potential safety advance-

ment at each of our racing venues.” He continued to say that “We’re pleased with the additional safety enhancements Atlanta Motor Speedway will be making leading into our events this weekend. As we’ve stated, NASCAR and its track partners remain steadfastly committed to safety.”

According to multiple reports in addition to Atlanta and Daytona, more SAFER barriers are also being added to Talladega, Superspeedway and Kentucky Speedway.

SPRING TRAINING INCLUDES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EDUCATION

S

PRING TRAINING INCLUDES some new training this year for all major league baseball players on 40-man rosters according to an Associated Press report. This is being coordinated by Futures Without Violence, a San Francisco-based organization in agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Following the bad press received by the NFL’s handling of domestic violence issues of several of their players, the report indicated that MBL officials started meetings with groups to work on an effective policy to address how baseball would handle the problem.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said that “… we’re not going to settle for something less than that.” Manfred also said that he was hopeful an agreement would be reached before opening day, saying he’d be “disappointed if we were not able to come to an agreement.” Opening day for the 2015 season is Sunday, April 5.

While the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) doesn’t define discipline for players charged with “physical force or violence, including but not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, resisting arrest, battery and assault,” it does permit for punishment to be imposed by the commissioner or the player’s team. A clause of the CBA also provides for players to get treatment for alcohol-related and off-field violent offenses.

GRANDSTANDING LETTERS TO COMPETE MAGAZINE SLAM DUNK [March 2015] Glad to see so many basketball greats honored in Compete Magazine’s April issue. It seems like I almost forgot about people like John Amaechi and Rick Welts.

The contributions those two made early on sure made a difference for people like Jason Collins, Brittney Griner and assistant coach Becky Hammon. Let’s not forget those that came out early on.

PHOENIX FRONTRUNNERS HOLDING 17TH ANNUAL PRIDE RUN & WALK

BY DAN SHABRA PHOENIX FRONTRUNNERS, INC. (PHXFR) announced its 17th annual Pride Run & Walk which will occur on Saturday morning April 11, 2015 in central Phoenix, Arizona over Pride weekend. For those who are so inclined, there is an option for participating in a Friday night pre-race dinner party at downtown’s historic “ICEHOUSE—Phoenix.”

PHXFR is again stepping up its game in 2015 with the introduction of new professionally-timed USATF-certified courses supporting five events, including a half marathon, half marathon relay, a 10K run, 5K run and 5K walk. In addition, there is a noncertified, chip-timed 3K walk.

“This is going to be another exciting year for us,” said Kurt Gross, president of the board of directors for PHXFR. “We’re expanding our offerings again this year so everyone at all fitness levels can find his or her unique experience built on a foundation of quality and professionalism.”

To coincide with the individual run and walk options, PHXFR is introducing “Team Challenge” this year where you are able to participate as a team. They are introducing a half marathon two-person relay option, too.

In addition to the run and walk options, there will be entertainment and an Adventure Expo that is open to the public whether participating in a run or walk event or not. So it’s a great way to bring a cheerleading squad that won’t get bored while you’re running or walking. It seems that PHXFR is very serious about producing an elite running and walking experience in the industry.

In addition to the more standard expectations like tech shirts, swag and refreshments, the organization has upped the ante, including more unusual perks like finishers’ medals and chip-timing in all events, including

28

| COMPETE | April 2015

their walks. Also being introduced are pacers for the half marathon to help runners pace themselves relative to their completion goals and hopefully, help them accomplish a new PR (personal record).

More importantly, at its core the organization is staying true to running and walking. PHXFR has designed courses taking advantage of central Phoenix city streets, all of which have been mapped to be flat, fast and interesting.

As a nonprofit running and walking organization, PHXFR is focused on community health and education.

And while it is LGBT-identified, a main reason it produces its Pride Run & Walk event over Pride weekend, this event should not be considered a “gay only” event. “We have people from all walks of life participating in our events and for many different reasons,” said Dan Shabra, vice president and treasurer of the board of directors for PHXFR. “You’re right,” said Gross. “When someone chooses to run or walk in our Pride Run & Walk, we want it to be because it’s a great event that is fun for everyone. And we are very proud to bring this amazing sporting event to Phoenix that also focuses on equality and inclusion and promotes acceptance and diversity for everyone.”

PHXFR was recently honored with an award from Compete magazine at its 2015 Compete Sports Diversity Awards for helping to fulfill the publication’s mission of uniting the world through sports.

The organization’s weekly run and walk schedule includes Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at Dreamy Draw Park, Thursdays at 6 p.m. at Tempe Town Lake and Saturdays at 8 a.m. at Papago Park/Phoenix Zoo. To learn more about this upcoming Pride Run & Walk event or the weekly events, visit the Phoenix Frontrunners, Inc. website at phxfr.org.

BI-ANNUAL CYCLEDELIC FESTIVAL & RIDE Promoting Bike Safety in a Free Night-Time Event PHOTOS BY JEFF HOCKER THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS’ Office of Sustainability in cooperation with the Palm Springs Bike Coalition, Hot Purple Energy and Hocker Productions will present Cycledelic. This colorful, fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark bike ride and vendor festival will take place Thursday, April 30, coinciding with the weekly Villagefest in downtown Palm Springs—all part of the non-motorized transportation initiative to encourage more bike riding.

Cycledelic is a FREE, fun and easy downtown loop bike ride suitable for all ages. All bike riders are required to wear helmets and obey all traffic laws, signage and routes for Cycledelic. Bike riders will gather at the festival area located at the Northwest corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way situated between Palm Canyon Drive and Belardo Road starting at 6:00 p.m. Pilates Plus will host stretching and free spinning classes onsite to get warmed up for the ride.

Big Wheel Tours will offer bike rentals and PS Cyclery will offer bike valet service.

While supplies last, bike lights and glow in the dark decorations will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. A short instruction seminar will be given at approximately 7:15 p.m. focusing on bike safety, tips to navigate vehicle traffic, locking your bike and what gear should be worn for nighttime riding.

Cycledelic would not be possible without the support of City of Palm Springs Office of Sustainability, Villagefest, Hot Purple Energy, Palm Springs Cyclery, Pilates Plus and Chandler Coldwell. Also supporting the event are Arrowhead Spring Water, Big Wheel Tours, Nature’s Health Food and Café, CREE Network, EOS Fitness, Palm Springs Police Department, Mix 100.5 FM, Compete Magazine, City of Palm Springs Park and Recreation Department and Friend’s of CV Link.

Riders will ride over the Richard M. Milanovich Memorial Bridge and continue on Belardo until they reach the curve just before it intersects with South Palm Canyon Drive, doing two loops to complete the seven-mile fun ride. PS Cyclery will provide bike valet until 10:00 p.m.

SPORTS NEVADA

BIGHORN RODEO COMING TO LAS VEGAS IN MAY

BY IAN COLGATE

Q. A.

What organization was formed in Las Vegas in February 1992 by a handful of country-western fans?

If you answered the Nevada Gay Rodeo Association (NGRA), you answered correctly.

What started as a small southern Nevada-area group quickly turned into a state-wide rodeo association that now boasts over 125 active members. An affiliate of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA), NGRA produces the annual BigHorn Rodeo, one of the largest rodeos in IGRA’s rodeo circuit.

This year’s BigHorn Rodeo will be held at Horseman’s Park in Las Vegas on May 9 & 10 with official events beginning on May 6th. In addition to traditional rodeo events there will be Pride Family Bingo, BigHorn Rodeo Pool Party, Two Chicks 4 D Barrel Race, Homorodeo.com MeetN-Greet and the BigHorn Rodeo 2015 Awards Ceremony.

Host hotel for the event is the non-gaming Alexis Park – All Suite Resort which is located directly across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel.

For those who have only experienced the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, a rodeo may seem like an anachronism—an event that feels like it’s out of time and space. But Nevada has a rich gay rodeo history. The first gay rodeo was produced in Reno in 1976, many years before NGRA’s formation. Although it took the new group two years to hold a rodeo, since 1996 NGRA has produced 17 of them.

32

| COMPETE | April 2015

This year’s event will include an array of traditional and specialty rodeo events. Starting at 11:00 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, the running order (subject to change) is as follows:

• Steer Decorating • Calf Roping on Foot • Team Roping • Chute Dogging • Pole Bending • Grand Entry • Steer Riding • Bull Riding • Mounted Breakaway Roping • Goat Dressing • Wild Drag Race • Barrel Racing • Flag Racing If you love the country-western lifestyle, the BigHorn Rodeo and the other IGRA-associated rodeos across the country are at the heart of keeping it alive and well, even in the dazzlingly beautiful neon-lit world of Las Vegas. And the bonus is that the wonderful participants’ efforts benefit their local charitable organizations.

STYLE

Using the COLOR Wheel M

By Alfonzo Chavez

any people stick to wearing neutral colors because they have no idea how to coordinate colors. For some people, wearing all black can be flattering and sophisticated but it can become boring and tired. A nicely colored accessory can bring your solid black style choice to life. If you wonder how to put colors together to create a flattering outfit, the good news is that it is something you can easily learn by using a color wheel and a few other concepts.

Do you remember learning the basics of the color wheel in grade school or art class? It begins with the three primary colors—red, blue and yellow. These colors go very well with each other and are commonly used in company logos and team colors.

Next are the secondary colors— orange, violet and green. They are produced by mixing together two primary colors. Finally there are the tertiary colors—purple, red-orange and yellow-green. These are produced by mixing together a primary and a secondary color.

Once you understand this it becomes easier to apply the next part using the color wheel. We’ll begin with complementary colors since this will be often used. Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel and yes,

34

| COMPETE | April 2015

they complement each other. Examples are purple and yellow, orange and blue, and red and green.

Another interesting fact is that mixing two complementary colors produces brown, a neutral color. But oddly enough, silver and grey can have varying levels of blue pigments.

Analogous colors are neighboring colors, like red, pink and orange or blue and violet.

The last thing to know is which colors are warm and which are cool.

The warm scale has colors of red,

orange and yellow shades and the cool scale has green, blue and violet shades.

Take this information and have fun putting colors together and making your wardrobe or home more interesting. Don’t be afraid to play with different color combos and even break the rules every now and then. Also, note that neutral colors like brown, grey, black and white go with pretty much anything.

GLUTEN-FREE RECIPES IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS

BY MIRIAM LATTO

G

LUTEN SENSITIVITY is a growing problem for many adults and children these days, gluten being a naturally occurring protein in wheat and other related grains, such as barley, rye, kamut, spelt and triticale. According to the Food Allergy and Research Education (formerly the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network), approximately 15 million Americans suffer from true food allergies. In addition to celiac disease, an inherited autoimmune problem that affects digestion, autism and food-triggered asthma can also be your body giving you a signal to shift to a gluten-free diet.

If you are glutensensitive and looking to improve your health this year, try this new recipe book

by Carol Fenster, “100 Best Quick GlutenFree Recipes.” The cookbook not only has some tasty recipes, they’re also quick—they can all be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

As the former associate food editor at “Living Without” magazine, Fenster has been a master of glutenfree cooking for over 25 years. She

38

| COMPETE | April 2015

is the author of 11 gluten-free cookbooks, including “Gluten-Free 101” and the award-winning “1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes.”

This book offers 100 quick, delicious and easy recipes that minimize your time spent in the kitchen. It

makes meal planning easy by outlining how to stock a gluten-free pantry so you have all the necessary ingredients on hand when you’re ready to cook. And it also provides ideas on how to combine recipes in the book, such as making a weekend brunch, a

Southwest meal or an All-American quick dinner.

Perhaps the most valuable for the new gluten-free cook will be the information Fenster includes on measuring for success, savvy label reading, gluten-free, dairy-free ingredients and a list of gluten-free brands she used in testing these recipes.

The five chapters are organized as follows: breakfast and breads; soups, salads, sandwiches and snacks; grains, beans and pasta; main dishes and desserts.

Some of the recipes include quick favorites like Microwave Muffins in a Mug, Breakfast Pizza, Garlic Breadsticks, Chicken Parmesan and Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes.

There are also beautiful full-color pictures showing what your upcoming culinary masterpiece should look like. All told, this book will become a favorite “go-to” book for gluten-free cooking.

For more information on Fenster, her gluten-free recipes, cookbooks and videos, visit her website at savorypalate.com.

TRAVEL

ALL-STAR

BY BRIAN RAYMOND, OUT DESTINATIONS

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE IN SEATTLE WITH A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN FULL OF TRENDY restaurants and shops, majestic mountains as your backdrop, vistas galore and miles of waterfront, Seattle is an ideal vacation spot. OK, maybe it is a bit overcast and drizzles too often, but it is a beautiful and modern city.

The downtown is constantly changing with new hotels, condos and apartments replacing older buildings. To see some of Seattle’s historic past, you’ll need to visit its neighborhoods such as the area surrounding Kerry Park in the Queen Ann Hill neighborhood. There you’ll find its Victorian homes and some of the most iconic panoramic photos of downtown including the Space Needle and Mount Rainer (on one of those few clear days).

Seattle is a friendly city. People are approachable and willing to help if you need directions or suggestions. It trends toward a younger age and embraces the avantgarde. Since it is built into the mountains, it requires lots of vertical walking and an active lifestyle.

Stay downtown if you are looking for action, food and fun. But don’t look for a good mass transit system. There is one light rail from the airport to downtown. One monorail with one stop. A streetcar which goes only a few blocks, and a confusing bunch of separate bus lines. Walking or a cab is the best way to get around. Seattle has a strong and active gay center in the Capital Hill area with several gay bars and cafes.

There is a wide variety of hotels from luxury five star properties down to very clean and affordable hotels— something for every budget. Foodies will appreciate that Seattle was ranked #8 in the “Best Food Cities” by Condé Nast. You don’t have to spend top dollar to get incredible food. Some of the best restaurants are located in its neighborhoods, offering affordable and delicious meals.

With over 200 local breweries, Seattle is also a top destination for craft beer lovers.

If you aren’t familiar with Seattle, one of the best ways to get to know it is a ride on the “Ducks,” which are amphibious vehicles. While you’ll see them in other cities, here they have become a local institution. As you board the Ducks, you might feel a bit foolish and awkward. But the drivers are showmen and know the city inside and out. While you learn the history of Seattle and see its iconic landmarks, you can’t help but get caught up in the moment as your Duck travels downtown blaring its music with the locals waving and dancing on the street as you

Photo by Kent Christianson pass by. Even the toughest curmudgeons will break into a smile—it’s so infectious. After touring the city, you launch into Lake Union for a breathtaking view of the city from a completely different perspective. The once individual towering buildings you looked up to while in town, blend into a perfect postcard of the city with the mountain background.

After the Ducks tour, spend time in the Seattle Center, a 74-acre park built for the 1962 World’s Fair. Of course its most famous feature is the iconic Space Needle; below the observation platform is a rotating restaurant. In the park you’ll find several worthwhile museums, performance venues, plus the park is great for relaxing or people watching.

Seattle and Tacoma are glassblowing hubs. The Seattle Glassblowing Studio (SGS) is located downtown and offers a glimpse into the art of glassblowing. You can watch master craftsmen create unique gorgeous masterpieces, or take a class where you’ll learn how to mix colors and shape glass. After you’ve learned glassblowing, visit the Chihuly gallery and gardens next to the Space Needle to see his incredible glass creations.

Any visit to Seattle must include a stop at Pike Market Place downtown, a marketplace where you can watch them throw and catch fresh fish to entertain customers, find locally grown fruits and vegetables, choose from several booths of fresh flowers, or select from a variety of locally produced gourmet food products.

Finally, Seattle is the starting point for many Alaska cruises where you can see up close the pristine beauty of the Pacific Northwest. If you haven’t taken a cruise to Juneau and seen the Mendenhall Glacier, the salmon run, or whales breaching the surface, an Alaskan cruise is something you must experience.

To visit Seattle or for help in planning your own or group travel, you can contact Brian Raymond at: brian@OutDestinations.com or 866-217-2341.

HEALTHYOUT

Trying to eat healthy is a great goal but eating out at a restaurant can be difficult. But the HealthyOut app can help you find something that’s good and still good for you. After you install the app you have to sign up for an account to use it. And once you do, you can tell it the type of diet you’re following—low-cal, paleo, balanced or any other choice. Then when you don’t want to cook or have a meal out, the app can find restaurants near you, making suggestions based on the diet you’re following.

You can also customize a search based on the type of cuisine, on delivery or on specific ingredients. There’s also the opportunity to override the app suggestions or directly view the restaurant’s phone number, location or other details. HealthyOut is free and is available in the iTunes App Store and at Google Play.
