The summer season of our bowling league is the twentieth season since the sport was added to the lineup of programming offered by Stonewall Sports Pittsburgh. The league is now officially the largest LGBTQ+ bowling league in the Pittsburgh region boasting an average of over 100 bowlers per season. Through the years, the league standings have seen an array of team names based on a variety of themes including pop culture references, innuendos, bowling slang and even some that appear to be nonsense.
