Rights Group Fears Overseas Participants May Face National Security Risks, Urges Cancellation of Hong Kong Gay Games
人權組織憂海外參加者或面臨國安風險 籲取消香港同樂運動會
The 11th Gay Games, also known as the Games for the LGBTQ community, will be co-hosted by Hong Kong and Mexico in November, marking the first time the event has been held in Asia. Recently, however, human rights organisations and LGBTQ rights advocates separately expressed concerns over Hong Kong’s National Security Law and called on the Federation of Gay Games (FGG), the US-based official body organising the event, to cancel the Hong Kong Games. Light Media learned that two Taiwanese athletes, after considering their personal safety, may shelve plans to travel to Hong Kong to compete as individuals.
第十一屆同樂運動會（Gay Games，又稱同志運動會）將於11月由香港及墨西哥合辦，亦是首次有亞洲地區舉辦該運動會。然而，最近有人權組織及關注LGBTQ權益人士分別表示，基於對香港《國安法》的疑慮，呼籲主辦同樂運動會的官方機構、總部設於美國的「同志運動會聯合會」（Federation of Gay Games，FGG），取消在港舉辦同運會。《光傳媒》獲悉，有兩名台灣運動員考慮自身安全後，可能擱置以個人名義到港參賽。
