Federation Of Gay Games

The purpose of the FGG is to foster the self-respect of gay men and women throughout the world. Also, to engender respect and understanding from the non-gay world. Primarily through an organised, international athletic and cultural event held every four years. The mission of the FGG is to promote equality through the organisation of the Gay Games.
