Despite condemnation by a conservative Christian group of corporations sponsoring next month's Gay Games the number of companies lining up to put their names behind the event continues to grow.

The latest big corporations to become sponsors are ESPN and QTG - the maker of Quaker Oats, Tropicana juice and Gatorade.

Gay Games organizers announced the additional sponsors at Mayor Daley's annual Pride reception Monday night.

Chicago-based QTC has become a Global Gay Games Sponsor. Gatorade will be the Official Sports Drink of the 2006 Gay Games and will provide sideline hydration at all Gay Games sports. In addition, Tropicana and Quaker will be feeding the athletes and volunteers nutritious and wholesome breakfasts and snacks throughout the week.
