Caroline recently gave her full support to London's bid to host the 2018 Gay Games when she attended a parliamentary reception launching the campaign. Joining her in supporting the bid were Jo Swinson, Liberal Democrat MP for East Dunbartonshire and the Minister for Women and Equalities, and Stephen Gilbert, Liberal Democrat MP for St Austell and Newquay.
Explaining why she is supporting the bid Caroline said:
"The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were an immense success. The organisation, sporting infrastructure, transport system and most importantly the welcome provided by Londoners were factors that all received international acclaim. These important factors, combined with the incredible diversity and inclusive nature of London, will help ensure the 2018 Gay Games obtain similar levels of success.
"London should now have the opportunity to prove to the world that it can provide the most welcoming, inclusive and successful Gay Games to ever take place."
