Check this guy out -- he's running with a giant colorful flag in what's fittingly called the Rainbow Run... that kicks off the 10th Gay Games. Nearly 13,000 athletes from around the world competing in anything from soccer to tennis while raising awareness for gay and transgender rights. This comes as France is now grappling with a surge in anti-gay attacks, jumping 15% from 2016 to 2017.
