In an environment where LGBTQIA+ people in sports has become a politically charged topic, how can public administration support all people who want to play sports? Based on a survey of over 1,000 LGBTQIA+ individuals on the use of nonprofit services in the United States, this mixed-methods article explores the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people who play sports through a social equity lens. In our study, we find that those who identify as transgender are less likely to play in sports clubs than cisgendered individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. In qualitative responses, themes of inclusion and respect were discussed, as well as the importance of gender-neutral language and spaces to help support all people. Through this analysis, we discuss recommendations and implications for sports clubs to create a more welcoming and equitable environment for all people.
