Help tackle homophobia and
transphobia in sport and win
amazing sports prizes!!
Together we need to do more to make sport
welcoming for everybody. Whether you are gay,
lesbian, bisexual or transgender – or you just
recognise homophobia and transphobia is wrong
- you can help us to make a difference.
Design a logo that sports clubs can use to show their
commitment to kicking homophobia and transphobia out
of sport. We’re looking for a design that inspires change
and helps spread the message that hate of any kind in
sport is not acceptable.
Rugby legend Ben Cohen will shortlist the top entries – then
it will be over to you to crown our nal winner through a

campaign logo by sports clubs up and down the country.

• We believe that everyone should be able to participate in and enjoy sport
– whoever they are and whatever their background;
• We believe that sport is about fairness and equality, respect and dignity. Sport
teaches individuals how to strive and succeed, how to cope with success and
disappointment, and brings people together with a common goal;
• We are committed to making these values a reality for lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people. We will work together, and individually, to rid
sport of homophobia and transphobia;
• We will make sport a welcome place for everyone – for those
participating in sport, those attending sporting events and for those
working or volunteering in sports at any level;
• We will work with all these groups to ensure they have a voice, and to
challenge unacceptable behaviour.
