Description
The pandemic-delayed Gay Games will kick off in Hong Kong on Saturday -- the first time the LGBTQ-themed sporting event will be held in Asia -- despite opposition from some local politicians.
Organisers say 2,381 people will compete in 18 sporting categories this year under the theme of "unity in diversity".
"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," says Gay Games Hong Kong co-chair Lisa Lam. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
