Schism in LGBT Sports Communities Over Gay Games VII
In 2001, the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) awarded the seventh edition of the Gay Games to Montréal, Quebec, Canada for 2006, but the FGG removed its sanction in late 2003 after differences arose between it and the Montréal 2006 organizing committee. This resulted in Montreal setting up the World Outgames, and forming GLISA as its sanctioning body. A new bidding process was set up, and Chicago, Illinois, USA was selected to host the 2006 Games. See the Schism in LGBT sports communities over Gay Games VII section of the Gay Games article.

Will midnight foot it steeply into dawn,
Dawn veer into day,
Nor the praised schism be of year split off year....””

“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I cannot be indifferent to the assassination of a member of my profession, We should be obliged to shut up business if we, the Kings, were to consider the assassination of Kings as of no consequence at all.”
—Edward VII (1841–1910)
