When to #watch #TeamLGBTQ #athletes at the #Olympics โ 10 #highlights coming up
The Team LGBTQ #representation at Paris 2024 grows. Cheer on these athletes who are all in action in the first full week of #competition.
#TeamLGBTQ (175 athletes) at the 2024 Paris Summer Games:
"This 2024 Olympics database includes profiles of the out #gay, #lesbian, #bisexual, #transgender, #queer and #nonbinary Olympians. The 2024 Paris Games mark a significant increase in #LGBTQ representation, highlighting the progress towards inclusivity and acceptance in the sports world. There are also a record number of out male Olympic athletes." https://www.outsports.com/olympics/team-lgbtq/
It's very difficult (even now) to "come out" in the world of sport, which is still dominated by a hetero-normative culture. And many competing nations are brutally oppressive with regard to diverse sexualities.
At the last #Olympics, it's estimated that there were just c. 180 #LGBTQ+ "out" athletes, but that they won 32 medals between them. #TeamLGBTQ would have been placed 7th.
Still considerable room for improvement? #Paris2024
At least 144 #out #athletes are headed to the #Paris #Olympics. Meet #TeamLGBTQ.
This milestone highlights a growing level of #acceptance in #sports.
