Lawyers representing the 1986 Gay Games II say they have just as much right as the U.S. Olympic Committee to use a ”3,700-year-old generic word”

and asked a federal appeals court to let them use the term ”Gay Olympics.”

”Congress didn`t give the U.S. Olympic Committee unlimited use of the word for all purposes and all time,” attorney Mary C. Dunlap said Tuesday in asking a three-justice panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals to reverse an action by United States District Judge J.P. Vukasin.
