Orlando, FL

Orlando may be the hosting city for Gay Games 2018, according to an article by Central Florida Future. The sporting and cultural event aims to promote respect and social awareness amongst athletes. The activities are designed to increase participation, with varying skill and fitness levels. The Gay Games is the largest sporting event in its league. Ann Gynn, director of marketing and communications for Gay Games 9 in Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, said, “The games will bring $57 million dollars to the region.” Florida’s income relies heavily on tourism, so it’s an obviously welcome addition to the sunshine state.
