About the study
It is also the first to take an in-depth look at the experiences of gay, lesbian and bisexual (LGB) people, including athletes, in sporting culture. The study included trans and gender diverse participants, but the focus was on sexual minorities and gathered data on levels of participation, discrimination, victimisation, as well as the perceptions of safety, acceptance, and inclusion.
