Just under three years after losing its bid to Hong Kong to become the host city for the 2022 Gay Games, the quadrennial international LGBTQ sports and cultural event, D.C.
has not submitted a bid to host the 2026 Gay Games, according to a statement released last month by the Federation of Gay Games.
The FGG, which organizes the Gay Games, released a list of eight cities that have submitted bids to host the 2026 games. D.C.
is not on that list. Among the cities on the FGG list are San Diego, the only U.S. city to submit a bid; and Guadalajara, Mexico, which along with D.C., emerged as one of three finalists along with Hong Kong in the bidding for the 2022 games.
