Organisers of next year’s international Gay Games have said the event will now be co-hosted with the Mexican city of Guadalajara due to Hong Kong’s strict coronavirus-related travel restrictions.
Founder and co-chairman of the Hong Kong event, Dennis Philipse, who spearheaded the city’s successful bid to play host, has also announced his resignation. He will continue in an advisory role on the Games committee.
Philipse described the decision to co-host with Guadalajara as the best solution to ensure the event could take place and allow people to attend.
