First Gay Games in Asia set to begin, despite pushback
Quick Glance: Asia's First Gay Games Overcome Resistance in Hong Kong
  • The Gay Games Hong Kong (GGHK) commenced as the first of its kind in Asia, despite facing opposition from anti-LGBTQ lawmakers and human rights activists.

  • The opening ceremony began with a march-in by the GGHK, Federation of Gay Games, and delegations from around the world, followed by performances such as the Hong Kong lion dance.

  • Lisa Lam, co-chair of GGHK, emphasized, 'The Gay Games have always aimed to create a sports, arts, and culture festival that celebrates participation, inclusion, and personal achievements.'

  • The government did not send any officials to the opening ceremony and cautioned the organizers in August that the Games must be conducted in a 'lawful, safe, and orderly manner.'
