For those of you wondering if the Gay Games and Outgames will be merging, it won't be anytime soon. The Gay and Lesbian International Sport Association has announced a deal that will place the 3rd World Outgames in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2013. Antwerp has been the prefered spot for those games for a while and now the deal is locked up. In the meantime, continental Outgames will take place in Vancouver, Canada and Wellington, New Zealand in 2011.
