They can have barrel racing... The rest of it bites.

Life got to hectic for me to keep doing it, but it sure was fun while I did! As a child I was a fan of old-school wrestling. My little brother and I used to watch in black and white TV and just laugh and laugh (it was like slapstick violence to us, ya know? ;-) ... Our favorites were Pat Patterson and Rocky Johnson. It made me smile ear-to-ear about a year ago or so when I learned that Rocky Johnson is the father of "The Rock" (whom I've never seen wrestle, but he is SOOOOO yummy!)

IGRA, in collaboration with member associations, assist these associations in raising and donating thousands of dollars to charity in their communities each year. The Gay and Lesbian Communities of the United States and Canada have been enriched by the educational efforts of IGRA through its sanctioning and sponsorship of the various events and activities which are a part of what we call "Gay Rodeo".
