Allegro Non Troppo – World Dwarf Games

Society & Culture

As homosexuals we been put down for years, we’ve had people making fun of us in serious and offensive ways (Sam Newman, John Laws, Sasha Cohen –Bruno).
Gay people can though, blend in and not be noticed (Well at times), but this is not the case for Short Statured People. One can understand if they are frequently dismayed by the way they are portrayed in popular culture.
In March this year we told the story of Margherita Coppolino, a short statured lesbian who, went on a personal trek to Italy to find her birth mother.
Since then, Margherita has been on another adventure, she has been to the World Dwarf Games in Ireland, a magnificent event: where the Australian Contingent won 12 gold Medals, 9 Silver and 3 bronze, not bad medal tally for a team of only 14 Australians.
Today to talk more about their lives and the celebration that was the work dwarf games we have Margherita Coppolino, Adam Cullen.
