Chicago, IL -
Chicago Games, Inc., announced today that it will bid to host Gay Games® VII in 2006. The organization issued a short statement:
"We are grateful to the many members of our community - both here in Chicago and beyond - who have stepped forward in the past two months to support our vision for the 2006 Gay Games®. Organizations representing thousands of Chicago GLBT athletes have expressed full support for our bidding effort as have athletes from all over the world. We are also grateful to those who identified the challenges before us. This feedback will help ensure that our proposal to the Federation of Gay Games will be even more thorough and complete, enhancing our future success should we be awarded the Games. We wish our competitors in Los Angeles the best of luck as they prepare their bid materials. Finally, we want to say to our brothers and sisters in Montreal that we also wish them only the best as they prepare for their own event in the summer of 2006. The worldwide GLBT sports movement is enhanced by a spirit of cooperation and we commit ourselves to a relationship that is constructive and forward-thinking."
