British pop star Andy Bell of Erasure will perform at the Gay Games VII Opening Ceremony, scheduled for Sat., July 15. Bell is just the latest celebrity to join a historic line-up that includes everyone from Margaret Cho to Megan Mullally.
In another announcement last week, GGVII organizers said Gatorade will be the official sports drink of the Games and will provide sideline hydration at all sports events. Tropicana and Quaker will be feeding the athletes and volunteers breakfasts and snacks throughout the week. In addition, sports network ESPN is now the official sponsor of the Opening Ceremony fireworks. The spectacular display will be visible throughout the Chicagoland area and will be videotaped by cameras aboard the MetLife blimp that will fly overhead.
