The team behind the first Gay Games in Asia is pushing forward with the planned November event in Hong Kong despite the efforts of five human rights activists to cancel it. Not backing down: The Gay Games Hong Kong (GGHK) team announced in a statement published on the event's official website on Monday that they are rejecting “any calls to cancel the Games” this year, adding that the team members are “dismayed and disappointed” that “people outside Hong Kong” are allegedly trying to sabotage the event. What happened: GGHK published its statement in response to a commentary written by five activists — Alex Chan, Clark Leung, Lorraine Pan, Adam Nelson and human rights activist and lawyer Samuel Bickett — on Outsports on June 7.
