Washington, D.C. is trying again for a chance to host the Gay Games in 2022 after losing out to Cleveland in 2014.
Held every four years, the Gay Games serves as an Olympics of sorts for non-professional LGBT athletes from around the world. The Gay Games, which will take place from July 16-23, 2022, is expected to draw anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 athletes, and between 80,000 to 100,000 spectators to the lucky host city. The event will next be held in Paris in 2018.
