Melbourne among seven cities on shortlist to host 2030 Gay Games

Melbourne has been shortlisted as one of seven cities in the running to host the 2030 Gay Games, which claims to be the world's biggest LGBTQ+ sports and culture event.

I'm getting some whiplash over whether we "can afford" to host international sporting events or not
It comes down to “will the cost of the game’s infrastructure outweigh the tourist cash we’ll get”
I know it all just boils down to cost-benefit analysis in the end, but I'm still understandably a little skeptical haha
This is fucking stupid, the Olympics is the gay games and the straight games.
