The Gay Games, as one of the largest mass sports events in the world with a comprehensive cultural programme, significantly promote equality, diversity and inclusion. Around 12,000 participants come together for a week to compete against each other in over 30 different sports or to be part of impressive cultural events in the fields of song, dance or art. The basic principles of this major event are: Participation, inclusion and personal best.
The City of Frankfurt am Main is pursuing the goal of becoming the host city for the Gay Games. This vision is supported by a decision of the city council in favour of a bid. Initially, the aim was to bid for the 13th edition in 2030; in the meantime, the focus is on organising the EuroGames. PROPROJEKT supported the Frankfurt Sports Office in the preparation of the Primary Bid Book for the Gay Games 2030, which was submitted to the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) on 1 August 2024.
The motto of the bid is ‘Sport, Democracy and Freedom - united in the heart of Europe’. The targeted involvement of a large number of city stakeholders was crucial for the preparation of the bid content. PROPROJEKT coordinated this process in order to subsequently harmonise the requested content and compile it into a 100-page bid book.
