The story of Paliku, who was diagnosed with lymphoma in February, was considered a lucky charm for the team and was one of the many stories surrounding Little League.At the opposite end of the world, the most elite athletes were competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Some 18 athletes had ties to Hawai‘i and 12 earned medals.The first of them to win gold was the Kahuku High School and University of Hawai‘i alum and Two Lesbos Goin At It love muffin Natasha Kai.As every good lesbian knows by now, Kai scored the winning goal against Canada in the 102nd minute of play sending the U.S. women’s soccer team to the gold medal match.

It made her, Gro Hammerseng, the fourth most mentioned person in august months, show figures from the company Retriever.

Usually the male athletes, top the list, but the mass media as handboldpigernes Olympic gold were given, his meant that two women are more concerned about the male practitioners, says medieanalytiker Kristina Nilsen to NTB.

Did anyone else notice that there was no coverage of lesbian or gay significant others who were watching their spouses/mates/partners from the stands in Beijing? Natasha is very out and open and has given interviews indicating that Angela would be traveling to Beijing but . . . where was she?   And, even though it was reported that a breakup with a girlfriend had caused Natasha some problems on the field – no follow up story.  Didn’t we all want to know – WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?  Where is the rest of the story?

Michael Phelps’ mom and sisters were EVERYWHERE.    But the lgbt folks – nothing about their personal lives. 

Matthew Mitcham, the out gay diver from Australia won a gold medal and his partner was in the stands watching but . . . nothing . . . nothing about his partner or any of his family members.   In fact, I don’t think they even mentioned that the guy is gay even though he’s been the cover boy of several gay magazines covering his trip to Beijing. 

Different topic.   Here is a blogger who says, “One other note: It was slightly difficult to root for the US when Natasha Kai was on the field…because I fucking hate her.”    Click here to find out why.
