Preferred term

sports and homosexuality  

Definition

  • Sports are an important vehicle for the transmission of dominant values and systems of privilege, particularly those built upon race, class, gender, and sexuality inequality. One of the many ways this is accomplished is through the erasure of homosexuality from sport and sports culture. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Sports and Homosexuality]
