Go to Italy on the field against homophobia
Sport, like family and school, is one of the social places where a person, a citizen, is trained and educated to respect and value diversity.
Unfortunately, sport is also the place where it is currently difficult in Italy to come out and freely live one's sexual orientation or gender identity, regardless of the type of sport one practices.
Homophobia, transphobia, and all forms of hatred, whether manifested at sporting events or in sports venues, must be combated, and it's time for sports clubs to take visible steps forward on these issues. The sport that enters our homes every week is a tool for spreading positive and educational messages and must also be effective in the fight for civil rights.
Arcigay aims to support and amplify the entire Italian LGBTI+ sports community, offering a forum for information on teams and sports initiatives, fostering constructive dialogue and fostering best practices.
We decided to create the Arcigay Sport map and the Arcigaysport Instagram profile to give a voice to all LGBTI+ athletes in Italy and beyond, including fans, sports managers, coaches, referees, spectators, and LGBTI+ sports enthusiasts.
If you're part of a sports team or group, if you'd like to build a team, or if you'd like information about Arcigay's sports-related projects, contact Marco Arlati, a member of the Arcigay National Secretariat responsible for sports.

The actions that will be implemented are:
Fighting homophobia and transphobia in sports at all levels, starting with a call to the various CONI federations to incorporate their commitment to combating discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in sport into their statutes.
To be an amplifier of sports culture within our LGBTI+ community, giving space and importance to all the sporting realities that have emerged in Italy in recent years and encouraging the birth of others.
Provide full support to all projects and actions implemented by third parties to combat and resolve the problem of insults in stadiums and arenas. These insults are at the root of hatred and destroy the intrinsic values of sport.
Foster a culture of coming out in sport.
Build partnerships and synergies at major sporting events in Italy, as strategic tools for promoting the country's well-being and social and civic growth, leveraging sport's potential to promote civil rights and fight against all forms of discrimination.
Develop and promote diversity management and equality standards in companies and businesses that love and believe in sports, investing in and taking on the role of sponsor and/or owner.
