Reykjavik World Outgames 2017 – Bid Video
This introductory video accompanies Reykjavík’s bid to host the World Outgames in 2017.
**Imagine a country where the LGBT community enjoys the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts**
**Imagine a country with one marriage law for all, regardless of sexual orientation or identity**
**Imagine a country with an openly gay Prime Minister**
**Imagine a city where a straight mayor dresses in drag and heads the gay pride parade**
**Now imagine half the population of that city, young and old, showing their suport at the annual pride parade**
**Welcome to a country that celabrates rather than tolerates its LGBT community**
**Welcome to a city that never sleeps with 24 hours of daylight in summertime**
**Welcome to a compact city where most sport venues are within walking distance**
**Welcome to a city that lives next door to nature**
