Between 26th September and 1st October, the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) held its Annual Meeting in Cologne. One of the most exciting topics on the agenda was the selection of the Gay Games 2014 organisers. Among the three final candidates - Boston, Massachusetts, Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, D.C. (all USA), Cleveland's bid was the most successful. Another important part were the FGG Board elections. The new 20-member board comes from Europe, USA and Australia.
EGLSF male Co president, Pepe García Vázquez attended this meeting on 1st October. He exchanged views with FGG representatives, mostly concerning the future of LGBT sport. In this sense, a meeting was held about on 2nd October and FGG has drafted a report, incorporating the input from the meeting held in Copenhagen last August, within the framework of the Conference held in parallel with Outgames.
EGLSF Co President also met with Gay Games Cologne 2010 female Co president Annette Wachter. The meeting was about issues of mutual interest and cooperation to the event by EGLSF (contract, outreach and potential conference).
During the meetings as well as during the charity dinner EGLSF was mentioned at several occasions in a very positive manner.
