Why Do Sports and Development Need to Focus on LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Sports?
LGBTQ+ people:
Are less likely to participate in sports than heterosexual and cisgender peers
Drop out of sports more frequently than heterosexual and cisgender peers or feel that medical interventions are necessary to continue participation
Experience social isolation if they remain in toxic sports environments
Wished they had more role models when they were young
Greater economic inclusion is proven to benefit emerging economies. We help activists ensure that LGBTQIA+ people have the resources and protections they need to succeed in the Sport Industry.
