National LGBTIQ+ sport organisations respond to tweets from high profile athletes

With AIDS & HIV being almost 40 years old, we celebrate all the incredible hard work that has gone into treating the disease and breaking down the stigma attached to it. We also remember those who sadly have lost their lives to it. For this reason, we would like to support a charity & foundation we work very closely with, @yorkshiremesmac who do incredible work treating the community both physically and mentally. So if you have any spare pennies, we kindly ask you to check out their donation link in our bio. We hope everyone uses today to remember & celebrate. Thank you to our amazing sponsor, @viaductshowbar & the lovely @typhoonsrufc in helping us create this video. #U=U. •

Instagram post 2161317773674241635_5487396324 Check out this great episode of the #LGBT Sport Podcast in which @jack_murley interviews trans footballer @no7sammy - Thank you for sharing your story Sammy 🙏
Instagram post 2161039026714617776_5487396324 Today we were at @boltonuni as part of @farenet’s #footballpeople action weeks. We presented on #LGBT+ Inclusion in Football - Beyond the Rainbow & saw some great poster presentations by students, including one which talked about the work of Pride Sports alongside other inclusion organisations 💪⚽️🌈
Instagram post 2159754719496947692_5487396324 In 2012 we had an opportunity to put what we’d learned delivering Pride Games into practice with the wider community through @wythenshawegames. Since then we’ve worked year on year with incredible partners to deliver a fantastic community event in Wythenshawe, one of the most economically disadvantaged areas of Manchester. We’ve seen more than 90,000 people take part in 8 events. Last night Wythenshawe Games won the ‘Our Manchester’ award at the Manchester Sports Awards! 🏆 🐝  #mcrsportsawards #manchester #wythenshawe #wythenshawegames

.
.
👨‍🎓 we learned more about how individuals and sports NGBs are helping to make their environments more inclusive, and we passed on some of what we’ve learned about ‘Communicating #LGBT+ Inclusion’ 👩‍🏫 .
.
🎤 Jon also chaired a Q&A with world champion cyclist @rachelvmckinnon and Pride Sports’ @louenglefield, exploring the many challenges Rachel continues to face through competing in elite sport as a trans woman, and her ambitions ahead of defending her sprint title at the UCI Masters Track World Championships in Manchester 🚴‍♀️

🙏 Thanks for having us at the Summit!

I set a personal best in the 500m TT last night of 36.911, and missed out on gold by only 0.010s. it's rough to miss gold by so little, but I hit the cadence we wanted and I really did give it everything I had.

Everyone has been so nice and amazingly supportive, both competitors and the staff/officials.

Big thanks to my sponsors, who give me the best equipment a girl could want.

I'm extremely excited for the Sprint event getting underway Friday morning. I'm expecting a personal best there and a new 200m TT world record in qualifying.

Instagram post 2152484138166612687_5487396324 Posted @withrepost • @jonhholmes Now THAT was a week in #LGBTsports 🌈... the adrenaline of staging #AuthenticMe 2 at Twitter London, followed by the equally rewarding and enlightening #PrideSportsSummit in Manchester, where @chrsdvn and I tried something brand new (and hopefully landed it well!) .
.
👊 I’m really passionate about inclusion in this environment because (a) come on, it’s sports! (b) absolutely everyone should get to enjoy being active (c) the stories you get to help share when you gain trust, and (d) I can see this cross-sports community of #LGBT+ people and allies growing all the time, and it’s beautiful. ❤️
.
.
🚴‍♀️ Getting the opportunity to chat to @rachelvmckinnon alongside @louenglefield yesterday, and learning more about Rachel’s successes, studies and struggles, it reminded me how unlocking self-confidence not only transforms the life of one #LGBT+ person, but lifts the spirits of so many more. 🏳️‍🌈
.
.
💪 By its very nature, #AthleteActivism expends physical energy and heightens emotions - arguably more so than any other type of activism. These are the sports stars I choose to cheer for; they achieve more than medals, they break down barriers, and win hearts and minds. By taking ownership of who we are, and stepping out of whatever closets or comfort zones we find ourselves in, we can truly go further than we ever thought possible... .

Pride house is a project to provide a ‘venue’ that welcomes everyone regardless of sexuality or gender identity during international sporting events such as the Olympics and Paralympic Games. It spreads awareness, info and solutions on local culture about LGBTQ community and celebrates LGBTQ proud athletes; offers mini sporting events for everyone to participate including locals and visitors. +
+
This pop up at Harajuku goes on until November! (It will also be set up during the Tokyo2020 Olympics and Paralympics. Be sure to check it out! Buy a cute merch! These amazing ideas should be supported so it can stay around~ The most heartwarming detail is the table full of children books on LGBTQ families❤️💚🧡💙
