“…According to this study, tolerance and inclusivity are not deeply rooted in Spanish society, and a pseudo-inclusive stage still prevails in Spain in which there is no full recognition of sexual and gender minority groups in sport. This result is consistent with findings from another study on the attitudes of tolerance of a group of Spanish soccer players in which the results showed that they have medium levels of rejection towards sexual diversity (Velez & Piedra, 2020).…”

This book explores and critically assesses the challenges and experiences of LGBTQ people within sport in Europe. It presents cutting-edge research data and insights from across the continent, with a focus on sport policy, sport systems, and issues around anti-discrimination and inclusion.The book introduces the theoretical and methodological foundations of research into LGBTQ people in sport and then presents in-depth comparative surveys of systems and experiences in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the UK, and Spain. A final section considers the effectiveness of policy in this area and motives for participation, and looks ahead at future directions in research, policy, and practice.Tracing the frontiers of our understanding of the experiences of LGBTQ people in contemporary Europe, this is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport policy, LGBTQI studies, gender and sexuality studies, or cultural studies.

“…One overarching trend did emerge-there were few instances of blatant homophobia or transphobia. This finding runs counter to research on LGBTQ+ athletes' experiences (Beemyn & Rankin, 2011;Cunningham, 2019;Krane, 2016) and other studies which suggest rampant homophobia and transphobia are a major part of the sport community (Denison & Kitchen, 2015;Kian et al, 2011;Magrath, 2018;Potrac et al, 2022;Velez & Piedra, 2020).…”

“…In their study of 2,663 football fans in the United Kingdom, Cleland et al (2021) found that homophobic language is less prolific than in the past; still, more than 75% of study participants reported hearing homosexual-themed language that many defined as toxic or hostile. These findings are perhaps unsurprising, given the high profile of homophobic behaviors by spectators (Kian et al, 2011;Magrath, 2018;Velez & Piedra, 2020) and the negative experiences many LGBTQ+ athletes have at all levels of sport (Beemyn & Rankin, 2011;Cunningham, 2019;Krane, 2016).…”

The erasure of marginalized people, especially LGBTQ+ people, is commonplace in sport. As sport has become more commercialized, even at grassroots and youth levels), one group that has become even further marginalized and dehumanized are sports officials. Understanding the intersection of marginalized identities is important; as such, this study examined how homophobia and transphobia interplay with the sports officiating profession. Semistructured interviews with 16 self-identified LGBTQ+ referees revealed a series of organizational and social factors that led officials to either pass as non-LGBTQ+ or to come out as LGBTQ+, leading to the development of the LGBTQ+ Referee Identity Management Process Model. Implications for better supporting LGBTQ+ officials to promote higher levels of retention and career satisfaction are presented.

“…Consecuencia de ello, y considerando los pocos estudios realizados sobre homofobia y heteronormatividad en el deporte en la península (Velez y Piedra, 2018;Vilanova, Soler & Anderson, 2018), y situando el foco de 232 García-Orriols & Torrebadella-Flix -Homofobia y Orientación  estudio, tal como se mencionó, en Cataluña, donde aún es menor la indagación, esta propuesta se plantea la siguiente pregunta de investigación:…”

“…La ventaja de utilizar la EDSD como herramienta para medir la tolerancia a la diversidad sexual en el deporte viene concedida por la garantía de que, tras el trabajo preliminar de Piedra (2016), ha sido probada en otros significativos estudios (Piedra, 2016;Piedra, García-Pérez & Channon, 2017;Vélez & Piedra, 2018), y es precisamente el único instrumento que actualmente viene a corroborar la validez y fiabilidad para lo que fue diseñado: valorar las actitudes de los deportistas -propiedades psicométricas-en las diversas orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género en el marco del deporte. En este caso, se seleccionó la versión reducida de 18 oraciones del instrumento el cual fue revisado por un grupo de expertos que modificaron la formulación negativa de algunos ítems ajustando estos enunciados en forma de afirmación.…”

Nowadays, breaking with sexual diversity discrimination is a social requirement that is increasing. Thus, new theoretical frameworks have been appearing and being discussed but, scarcely, aren’t known by society. Consequently, the heteronormative concept still remains on social contexts, from schools to sport stadiums. In this way, this study is focused on the homophobia grade analysis in different federated sports in Catalonia by the adapted version of Actitudes hacia la Diversidad en el Deporte scale (Piedra, 2016). Moreover, other personal factors (sex, age, sexual orientation) have been considered for the comprehension of this heterosexual masculinity pressure in society, in order to develop future socio-educative proposals to change this scenario.
