Hong Kong’s biggest LGBTQ carnival was cancelled for the second successive year after organisers said they had failed to get the necessary licences and lost access to their venue weeks before the event.
Organisers of Pink Dot HK said in a statement on Monday that this year’s outdoor carnival, scheduled for 14 June, would no longer go ahead after the venue operator, Link Reit, withdrew access to Stanley Plaza and Murray House, where the event was due to take place.
