A class action lawsuit has been filed against the 2017 World Outgames organizing entity, the Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association (GLISA), and the two of the Miami Outgames staff members, Ivan Cano and Keith Hart. The lawsuit has yet to be certified by a judge as a class-action.

The news of the action was reported in the Miami Herald. The lawsuit seeks $5 million in damages although a City of Miami Beach audit indicated there was no money left for participants, and the organization was short US$1 million of the US $2.3 million budget at the time of the cancellation on 26 May 2017.
