Hong Kong – The Gay Games, an international sporting event, will take place for the first time in Asia this Friday in Hong Kong. It will feature both LGBTQ and heterosexual athletes, will see 2,381 people compete in sports including football and badminton — as well as Hong Kong dragon boat racing and mahjong — and aims to promote diversity through sport and culture. “We all need this platform where it doesn’t matter who you are, how you identify. We all come together in this culture of respect and acceptance,” event co-chair Lisa Lam said at a press conference recently.
