Equality Network's Scottish LGBT Sports Charter

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of the Equality Network’s Scottish LGBT Sports Charter at Hampden Park on 6 May 2015, which seeks to proactively tackle prejudice and ensure LGBT inclusion in Scottish sport; acknowledges that the charter was launched in response to the findings of the research, Out for Sport, which found significant barriers to LGBT people participating in Scottish sport; celebrates the fact that sports bodies are showing their commitment to LGBT equality in sport by signing up to the charter, with the first signatories including sportscotland, Team Scotland, the Scottish Football Association, Athletics Scotland and Boxing Scotland among other sports bodies; calls on other sports bodies to show their commitment to equality by signing the charter, and recognises that further work is needed to also reduce the barriers to sport for intersex people and ensure that Scotland becomes a country where everyone can take part, enjoy and succeed in sport at all levels whatever their sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status.
