LGBT+ inclusion in football in Victoria
Previous research shows that sport is an environment where LGBT+ people typically do not feel safe to participate. Homophobia, transphobia and other discriminatory behaviours have been found to be commonplace across many sports. How LGBT+ inclusion (or these discriminatory behaviours) appears in the sport of football, particularly within community-level football, has previously been unknown. Thanks to the generosity of VicHealth, Football Victoria (FV) commissioned Proud 2 Play to complete research into LGBT+ inclusion in football in Victoria. The following questions were answered: 1. What are the attitudes of the football community towards LGBT+ inclusion in football in Victoria? 2. What are the experiences of LGBT+ people who participate in football in Victoria? 3. Which initiatives can FV develop to improve LGBT+ inclusion in football in Victoria?
