The start of the Gay Rodeo Association may have began in the hearts of calf ropers and bronco riders many years prior but in 1976 Reno, Nevada hosted the National Reno Gay Rodeo and a dynasty was born. The momentum from this event spurred on local gay rodeo associations to be formed in Colorado, Texas, California, and Arizona. 1985 saw Oklahoma join a new confederacy which would be called The International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA). Today 20 regional Gay Rodeo Associations form the IGRA.
