Out in Sport - LGBT Students’ Experiences of Sport

In 2011, as the UK prepared to host one of the biggest sporting events in the world, the NUS LGBT campaign launched a research project into the sporting experiences of LGBT students. The project consisted of a literature review, an online survey of eight hundred and forty-five LGBT students, and nine workshops with students across the UK. Both the survey and the workshops explored LGBT students’ experiences participating in and coming out in sport, as well as the barriers that prevent LGBT students from getting more involved in sport.
