Inclusion in Sport for Young LGBTQIA People

Education, Personal Journals, Sexuality, Society & Culture

Tonight we talked all things sport!

In Melbs we have seen footy people getting pretty excited over the last couple of
weeks with the grand finals.

So I thought that now would be a good time to raise the question: “What’s it like for a
young LGBTQIA person in the sporting world today?”

We know that there are so many benefits to be gained from playing sport, from health & fitness to social inclusion and community. But research shows that some LGBTQIA young people are turning away from sport.

Tonight we explore what it is currently like out there for LGBTQIA young
people in sport. Why are some young same sex attracted or gender diverse
people dropping out? What could we be doing to make a safer, more inclusive environment within clubs? And what sports are at the forefront for inclusion!

Thanks to our guests James, Cameron and Jack for appearing on the show!
