Contrary to popular belief, sports aren&#;t just for cishet males &#; Queer people enjoy sports as well! This fact is made evident by the amount of LGBTQ+ Sporting Events held each year around the world.
If you are into sports, here is a list of some of the most popular LGBTQ+ sporting events around the world that you should be planning to attend!
EuroGames
EuroGames are Europe’s premier multi-sports event that celebrates diversity in sexual orientation, sex characteristics, and gender identity. The main goal is to provide a safe space for everyone to enter together and play sports, which is why it is not mandatory to be a member of the LGBTQ community to participate. While EuroGames are primarily geared towards LGBTIQ athletes (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer), they are open to everyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and skill level. Diversity is key!
Visit the EuroGames&#; website for more information about this year&#;s event, the dates, and how you can get involved.
