Orlando and the 2018 Gay GamesThe Orlando Sentinal and Outsports are reporting that Orlando, Florida will be among the main bidders for the tenth Gay Games in 2018. The family-holiday capital will compete with at least three other cities–London, Paris, and an as yet unnamed city in Brazil — for the upcoming sportsfest.

The Orlando bid is part of the work of a new LGBT-focused Orlando visitors bureau called Orlando Gay Travel, which seeks to bring more homo holidayers–beyond the very successful but just once-a-year Gay Days at Disneyworld–to the tourism-driven city.

“I think the LGBT community tends to feel that Gay Days is the only gay-friendly event that is happening in Orlando,” Mikael Audebert, executive director Orlando Gay Travel, told the Sentinel.

Gay Games LogoOver in the UK, London got a boost in its bid for the 2018 Gay Games. Gay Star News reports:

This morning Nick Clegg, the UK’s deputy prime minister met with the FGG delegates at the Barn Elms Boathouse on the River Thames where a crew from the Soho Rowing Club were being put through their paces. It was a warm summer’s morning in London and the sun’s reflection dazzled off the river. ‘The weather in London is always like this!’ Clegg declared enthusiastically as he greeted the FGG delegates. ‘We’ve shown what we can do with the Olympics in 2012, but it’s through events such as the Gay Games that the legacy of the Olympics will live on for London.’ said Clegg.

Hey, by 2018 with climate change, the weather in London might actually be “like this” all the time! Also in the running – Limerick and Paris.
