London Olympics organizers will begin selling badges in support of the gay community on Saturday.
The badges, featuring the rainbow flag and London 2012 logo, will be on sale at the London Pride gay parade and on the London 2012 website.
Former Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas, who announced he was gay in December, complimented London 2012 organizers Friday for attempting to achieve greater inclusion in sports.
Games organizers plan to sell more pin badges in the next year based on other issues such as age, disability, belief, gender and ethnicity.
