FLOORBALL PROGRAM WELCOME WORLD OUTGAMES DEAR PARTICIPANTS AND VISITORS As Mayor for Culture and Leisure, I am very happy and proud to welcome you to World Outgames, an event I have followed closely from the outset. It was a unanimous City Council which got the Outgames to Copenhagen, and the broad political backing is an expression of the liberal-mindedness which pervades the city. Copenhagen is an open, tolerant and diverse city. It is no accident that it was in Copenhagen City Hall that the fi rst same-sex registered partnership was entered into 20 years ago. That was both an important step in the campaign for equal rights for gays and lesbians and an event which caused many Copenhageners to boast about the city’s and the country’s liberal-mindedness. But there is still a lot to fi ght for. And alongside the sports, the concerts and the art, which all make World Outgames a festive event, the human rights conference during Outgames is therefore important. Because the sports and the culture take place against a serious background. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people are met with intolerance in many places around the world. At the conference, experiences will be exchanged about which political and activist approaches can make a positive difference. There is much to experience, enjoy and learn from during World Outgames, and I wish everyone welcome to a happy experience in Copenhagen.
