===Travel=== The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world to deny entry to visitors infected with [[HIV]], a condition which causes [[AIDS]]. The Federal government ruled that non-United States citizens with HIV or AIDS would be allowed to travel to attend the Gay Games in Chicago. The provision of such a waiver had the support of [[Mayor of Chicago|Chicago's Mayor]] [[Richard M. Daley]] and Illinois-elected [[US House of Representatives|Representative]] [[Jan Schakowsky]]. Waivers for travel restrictions regularly have been provided for events such as the [[Olympics]] and international conferences. The previous Gay Games in the United States, the [[1994 Gay Games]], received a similar waiver from then-[[President of the United States|President]] [[Bill Clinton]].<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Agrees to waive HIV/AIDS travel rule |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-02-07/business/0602070163_1_gay-games-hiv-or-aids-human-immunodeficiency-virus |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |location=[[Chicago]] |date=February 7, 2006 |access-date=November 9, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304095810/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-02-07/business/0602070163_1_gay-games-hiv-or-aids-human-immunodeficiency-virus |archive-date=March 4, 2016 }}</ref>
