Sometime you get to meet real heros among us and we just have to celebrate their time here on the otherside. One such an occassion happened with me while "manning" the Federation of Gay Games booth at the Games Cologne VII village on August 2, 2010.
Steven and his friend approached the booth to find out what all of the excitement was about. In my usual manner I was again giving out materials of the Federation and somehow managed to attracted a large number of folks to the booth. His friend excitedly explamined how Steven was able to not only fit into his first Gay Games t-shirt, but that it was so preserved he was able to wear it into the Gay Games VII opening ceremonies. Steven participated in his first Gay Games five Games ago. He is writing a book about his story and was featured on the HBO special documentary "Rock the Boat". Definitely check him out.
Steven has a wonderful story and you can follow it by contacting him at rockovach@comcast.net.
