PB PERS Gay Polo

Palm Beach Perspective

Talked with Chip McKenney, Founder, Gay Polo League. Their mission is, "To inspire and empower those individuals who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender via the promotion of and participation in the sport of polo. GPL Polo Club promotes the sport of polo as a means to provide equality, pride, diversity, inclusion and confidence for those individuals who face discrimination simply due to identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, gay or other non-traditional sexual or gender identities. GPL works to create an atmosphere that affirms and supports the understanding and acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, sex, gender/sexual identity or sexual orientation and works to promotes goodwill and camaraderie in the community." This year they are supporting One Pulse charity in Orlando. This year's Lexus International Gay Polo Tournament presented by Douglas Elliman Real Estate will be from April 6-8 at the National Polo Center in Wellington. Polo is family and dog friendly. Other events are 18 years and up. To get tickets/event info, sponsor info, volunteer info, make donations, listeners can go to www.gaypolo.com, email [e-mail] or call 1-323-712-3514.
