Equality. Diversity. Freedom. These are words that define us, our values and our mission.

LAVO embodies community, inclusion and promoting the power of sports to unite.

Our values are centered on teamwork, respect and integrity. Our humble contribution to society relies in producing multicultural LGBT sports events that inspire, educate and celebrate our diverse community. In searching for opportunities to have greater impact, we feel it is an honor and an obligation to take on the role to launch the bid for Los Angeles to host the 2022 Gay Games.

We envision a future that levels the playing field, where all are treated equal.

The bid for Los Angeles to host the 2022 Gay Games is an extension of the LAVO mission to support and empower the LGBT sports community worldwide and create lasting memories for a new generation of athletes. Our commitment upholds the Federation of Gay Games’ guiding principles of Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best™.

We are one unstoppable team with one passionate dream.
