September in Brazil saw the second Gaymada Interdrag Championship—which is basically a dodgeball competition where most of the players are in drag. The event took place in the city of Belo Horizonte and attracted about 2,000 attendees. Teams included the Pokémonas (which in Portuguese slang means “gay Pokemons”), the TransUrsos (“TransBears”), and Góticas Suaves (“Soft Goths”).
