The 2018 Gay Games, also known as Gay Games 10 or Gay Games X, were an international multi-sport event and cultural gathering organized by, and specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) athletes, artists and musicians. It was held from August 4 to August 12, 2018, in Paris, France. Approximately 10,000 athletes from 91 nations participated in 36 sports and cultural events.[1] It was the first time they took place in a French-speaking city. The motto was All Equal.[2]
It was an international sporting and cultural event, which was intended to be open to everyone. The objective was to fight against all forms of discrimination (sexual orientation, gender identity, disability)[3] through the practice of sport,[4] to show the diversity of the LGBT community and the general population. 40,000 visitors were expected.[5]
