Gay Friendly Pride House Set for
Vancouver Whistler 2010 Olympic Games!
Alpenglow Productions presents the first official
Whistler 2010 Pride House for the Olympic Winter Games! According
to Metro Vancouver newspaper’s Kristen T., the location
is now secured and the dates are set by Alpenglow Productions
for the first ever gay friendly Olympic Pride House for the Vancouver
Whistler winter games in February 2010. The guests and visitors
are certainly now guaranteed a great show up in Whistler Resort
during the Olympic Games and now all that is required are sponsors
for the gay friendly Whistler 2010 Pride House.
According to the president of Alpenglow Productions, the Vancouver
Whistler 2010 Pride House will set the tone for debunking numerous
myths about homosexuality in the sports arena. Although homophobia
is still very prevalent in the sports world, and especially during
the international Olympic Winter Games, the Whistler 2010 Pride
House will be gay friendly and will welcome and educate people
from around the world. With sexuality being such a hot topic these
days, the Pride House in Whistler will allow gay and lesbian athletes
to feel more secure and have a place for them to hang out and
make new friends without the scariness of going abouts everything
themselves. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games,
a host city now will have a Pride House. The definition of the
Whistler 2010 Pride House is simple: a explicitly gay friendly
place for athletes and visitors – whether hey are gay, lesbian,
straight or other – to hang out and feel safe about their
sexuality. According to the Alpenglow Productions president, The
gay friendly Whistler 2010 Pride House will be at the Whistler
Pan Pacific Hotel where athletes and visitors will be welcomed
at the hip lounge space within this five star accommodation. Dan,
president of Team Vancouver athletic society, a non-profit that
promotes gay sports and culture events, said that the Pride House
Whistler Pan Pacific Hotel is a ‘wonderful idea.’
