Despite flak, Argentina wins gay soccer world cup

Argentina's Los Dogos beat the defending world gay soccer champs Stonewall
(from the UK) to become the world's top gay soccer team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But it doesn't mean there haven't been a few bumps along the way.
On Friday, according to La Capital, a Buenos Aires councilmember
asked the Buenos Aires Human Rights Commission to officially denounce the tournament.

Councilmember Facundo Di Filipo, chair of the Human Rights Commission,
 called Enríquez' statements homophobic and said that it exposed a point of
views that should have been left behind in the 20th century.

In the meantime, the absence of a Brazilian team at the tournament was blamed
by some on an unwillingness by Brazil to support a gay or lesbian team and on
generalized homophobia in a land that is supposed to be not only soccer-crazy
but also tolerant of gays and lesbians. (Gaynewswatch.com, 30 de septiembre, 2007)
