How many out gay or bi athletes are known to be contracted to teams in major men’s pro sports leagues in North America? Currently, only one. Now, hockey player Luke Prokop is talking publicly about his boyfriend for the first time. For @outsports #LGBTQ outsports.com/2026/3/12/2413…

It probably won’t now feature Iran, but there will still be a designated Pride Match for the first time at a #FIFAWorldCup in Seattle this summer (even if FIFA aren’t doing the designating). The latest from an LGBTQ p.o.v for @outsports, with @ziplamak 🙏 outsports.com/2026/3/12/2413…

Throwing it back to last Wednesday under the lights at Bramall Lane ✨⚽️ At our Football v Homophobia matchday, Sheffield United proudly stood shoulder to shoulder with our LGBTQ+ community and allies 🏳️‍🌈 Thank you to all our guests who attended. We hope you had a lovely time.

NEW: A little bit of LGBTQ+ #sportsmedia history was made during LGBT+ History Month, as @MikeMinay made his #MOTD debut. 📺⚽️🌈 A DM sent to Mike showed why the moment matters - “it opened my eyes… by me being in the position I am, there’s a case of ‘see it, be it’.” 1/2

It's time to talk about hockey media in Canada. Actually, it has been time for awhile. My thoughts on comments from Insiders, hockey media approaches, using language correctly, and accountability - or the lack of it. My latest for @cbcsports cbc.ca/sports/hockey/…

🩷 At Football v Homophobia, we’re feeling so much love and motivation after a phenomenal Month of Action Fans, players and our wider #LGBTQ & allies family always bring so much energy and enthusiasm to the campaign’s annual activation, and you all went BIG for #FvH2026! 🙌 1/2

Inter fans aside, but how could you not love Bodø/Glimt? #UCL #FvH2026

🗣️ “It seems as bad to me. Those are homophobic insults, and it’s as serious. I have also seen images of [racist gestures in] the stands at Benfica… I think it’s deplorable” - Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois on discrimination 👏 Read on @outsports #UCL outsports.com/2026/2/24/2412…

Team LGBTQ won the most gold and total medals ever at a Winter Olympics. #TeamLGBTQ outsports.com/2026/2/22/2412…

🥈 Seems wrong for #Olympics silver to be a sickener, but so it is again for the GB men’s #curling team. Bruce Mouat spoke pre-Cortina about the fine line between being celebrated for a win and being comforted for a loss. Alas, no gold. For @outsports outsports.com/2026/2/21/2412…
