Homophobia in Sport Workshop

This session will explore what is homophobia, how it plays out in sport, why sport administrators and coaches need to address it, and what strategies and resources are available to make your sport welcoming for lesbians and gays. This interactive session will provide sport administrators and coaches with the opportunity to learn about and discuss openly questions and issues around sexual diversity, using real life examples and small group discussions to enhance understanding. The workshop will also focus on concrete strategies and actions that sport administrators and coaches can take to make their sport more welcoming for lesbians and gays, along with excellent resources to do so.

When: April 25th, 6-9pm
