The Milwaukee Gay Sports Network (MGSN) is dedicated to promoting inclusivity and encouraging active participation in sports. MGSN offers a variety of sports leagues, including bowling, darts, rugby, softball, volleyball, and tennis. Additionally, the network actively supports LGBTQ causes, creating a welcoming space for LGBTQ individuals and anyone who enjoys sports.
Peter Nys, a regular participant in the MGSN’s bowling league at Classic Lanes in Greenfield, Wisconsin, joined the league to meet new friends. He credits MGSN for helping LGBTQ sports leagues in the Milwaukee area feel connected and united as a family. Jake Putman, the current president of MGSN, emphasizes the importance of getting more people involved in MGSN leagues and supporting LGBTQ causes through athletic competition.
Both Nys and Putman highlight the welcoming atmosphere that MGSN provides for LGBTQ individuals and sports enthusiasts alike. They emphasize inclusivity and support for participants of all skill levels, with older members helping to mentor and include younger generations. Nys and Putman have found a sense of community and belonging through the MGSN, and they hope that others can find the same sense of connection and support.
