I love it when the press picks up stories about the diversity within the LGBT community. This weekend hundreds of gay rugby players from around the world came to New York for their international tournament and Reuters got some video.
Mark Ames, an event organizer, told the reporter that there is a divide between masculine gay rugby players and the wider gay community. "What this is try[ing] to do is combine those two communities, make [them] sort of join up as one and make people aware that actually being gay doesn't mean you have to be sort of camp."
After Ames says this in the video it cuts immediately to what must be the only feminine rugby player at the event as he flames out. I can't exactly say bravo to the video editing (which Reuters labels a 'rough cut,') but I love that the story was covered.
