Community Stories: Seattle Quake Rugby Team

10/19/200911:40

Seattle Quake Rugby Football Club became the first gay rugby team in Seattle in 2002. With its mission to bring the sport of rugby to gay men and men of color, the Quake competes in Division III of the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union and provides a fostering and competitive environment to communities that have traditionally been unrepresented in this "hooligan`s sport, played by gentlemen."
