You can be involved in leather pride, a tango festival or go see representatives from Tel Aviv, Rio, Mexico City as well as Melbourne.

Uffe Elbaek, the CEO of this year's World Outgames plans to share the games with the people of Denmark. It will not be held behind closed doors rather events will be in popular public venues.
