“Hong Kong’s largest annual LGBTQ carnival has been cancelled for the second year in a row”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web search results confirm the cancellation of Pink Dot HK. One source mentions the event was cancelled for 2019 due to 'social unrest', and another reports a cancellation due to the inability to secure a venue. While the 'second year in a row' phrasing is not explicitly detailed in the snippets, the pattern of multiple cancellations is supported by separate reports.
