GLAAD, in collaboration with Athlete Ally<\/a><\/span> and Pride House France<\/a><\/span>, created the guide to ensure inclusive, fair and accurate coverage of LGBTQ athletes and topics during the 2024 Summer Olympics (July 26-August 11) and Paralympics (August 28-September 8) in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

With more than 150 out LGBTQ olympians expected to compete for the gold, this year’s Olympic Games are poised to be a celebration of global unity, athleticism, and cultural diversity on the world\u2019s stage. LGBTQ athletes have likely competed in the Olympics and Paralympics since the very first games in history. Today, more athletes than ever are comfortable being out as their true, authentic selves and are embraced and supported by fans, fellow competitors, and sponsors. <\/p>

Approximately 35 openly LGBTQ athletes competed in the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic games in Beijing and a record-setting 222 out athletes competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n

GLAAD\u2019s<\/span> <\/em>2024 LGBTQ Paris Olympics and Paralympic Guide<\/b><\/em> includes LGBTQ language, terminology and use-cases relevant to reporting on LGBTQ athletes at this year\u2019s games in Paris as well as a comprehensive profile on more than a dozen out LGBTQ athletes to watch.<\/p>\n
