Royaume-Uni : Rugby Football League
La Rugby Football League (RFL) au Royaume-Uni a créé une nouvelle ressource pour aborder la question de l’homophobie dans le sport. Il s’agit là de la première d’une série de rapports que la RFL prévoit créer pour rendre le sport plus ouvert à la diversité. Guidance for Rugby League Clubs: Challenging Anti Gay (homophobic) Abuse and Behaviour donne des conseils pratiques sur la manière de lutter contre les propos homophobes qui ont cours dans les clubs, de même que durant la journée de match. Visitez le site Web de la Rugby Football League au http://www.therfl.co.uk/ pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements. Il est aussi possible de consulter le rapport au complet à cette adresse : http://rfllive.dyndns.org/~rflmedia/docs/Guidance (.pdf)

Le Rapport de synthèse PRIDE house 2010 invite la communauté sportive canadienne à lutter contre l’homophobie
le 26 novembre 2011 - L’Association canadienne pour l’avancement des femmes, du sport et de l’activité physique (ACAFS) a le plaisir d’annoncer que le Rapport de synthèse PRIDE house 2010 vient de paraître. Ce rapport présente un tour d’horizon des réussites et des expériences vécues dans le cadre du premier projet PRIDE house à voir le jour lors des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques 2010. Le Rapport de synthèse fait également appel à la communauté sportive canadienne, et invite le milieu du sport à prendre les devants et à faire davantage pour lutter contre l’homophobie dans le sport. Jennifer Birch-Jones, l’auteure du rapport et la responsable du programme « Aborder la question de l’homophobie dans le sport » de l’ACAFS, constate que même si ce premier projet PRIDE house est une véritable percée et qu’il suscite énormément d’espoir au sein de la communauté GLBT au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde, il reste encore beaucoup de travail à faire pour que des changements significatifs et à effet durable fassent en sorte que le milieu sportif canadien soit plus ouvert à la diversité sexuelle.

Sexual Abuse of Boys in Sports: Is Homophobia A Factor In Delayed Reporting?
[Excerpt] In the context of traditional team sports, where homophobia is frequently normalised, boys are constantly and openly "measured' for their conformity to sexist and homophobic norms and ideals. In such circumstances, then, young males who have been abused simply do not want to tell.

Penn State University again deficient in leadership
[Excerpt] Unfortunately, many universities -- if they're being honest -- need to look at themselves and say, "Do we do all we can to ensure that everyone's compass is directed toward doing what's right, even if that might initially cause some bad publicity for the university or mean sparring with a powerful coach? Do we look out for the powerless? Is our moral code as strong as it needs to be? Where are our true priorities? Who are we most concerned about protecting?"

Game, Sex and Match: The Perils of Female Sports Advertising
[Excerpt] It's no mystery why these campaigns strictly conform to gender norms, showcasing female athletes as feminine and sensual. It's the same reason why men's tennis will probably never run a campaign suggesting "strong is handsome," or try to court viewers by showing tennis' new world No. 1 Novak Djokovic with his shirt off. The issue at play is homophobia. "That's a huge part of this," says Marie Hardin, associate director of the Curley Center for Sports Journalism at Penn State. "There's this idea of the lesbian bogeywoman, the predatory lesbian in sports. Unfortunately there's a real fear mongering that doesn't help women's sports at all."

In African Women’s Soccer, Homophobia Remains an Obstacle.
FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, states as part of its mission a desire to use the game in “overcoming social and cultural obstacles for women with the ultimate aim of improving women’s standing in society.” But the story of Nigeria’s Super Falcons illustrates the cultural obstacles that remain for many African women who play soccer decades after more assertive efforts at inclusivity occurred in places like the United States, Germany, Norway, Sweden and more recently in Brazil.

Why it’s vital to kick homophobia out of sport, by David Cameron, Prime Minster of the United Kingdom
In order to end homophobia and transphobia we need cultural change and we also need role models. Whereas we’ve many to choose from in business, the arts and politics, we have too few in sport. I congratulate Gareth Thomas and Steven Davies for the decision they made and the inspiration they’ve given and I am delighted that two of the all-time greats of tennis – two magnificent role models – are backing our work in this area: Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King – who I was delighted to welcome to No10. But, put simply, you don’t have to be gay to be a role model, so we need others who care for this issue to stand up and be counted.
