Gosh golly, I can’t wait until I’m in my 60s so I can start flexing my pickle ball skills! (PS WTF is pickle ball?!)

Sports aren’t just for the straight kids. If gender and sexuality don’t follow strict rules, neither should organized sport. If you’re part of the LGBT community, Get Out! hosts a hot list of individual and team sports from drop-in programs to single day tournaments and everything in between. Their next big free event is the Pride Games Day on June 29th at Maple Leaf Gardens.
