Outsports, part of Q.Digital’s #1 Comscore ranked LGBTQ+ digital network, has achieved a groundbreaking feat for the 2024 Paris Summer Games by assembling the world’s largest database of out LGBTQ Olympians, “Team LGBTQ”. This accomplishment is a testament to Outsports’ dedication to visibility and inclusion in the sports world.
Why Team LGBTQ Matters
The 2024 Paris Olympics will be a showcase for incredible athletic talent and a powerful statement on inclusion. Outsports’ Team LGBTQ database not only profiles these athletes but also fosters a sense of community and support. By amplifying their stories, Outsports is helping to build a world where everyone can see themselves represented at the highest levels of sports.
The Team LGBTQ database features a diverse array of athletes from various sports and countries, showcasing the global nature of the LGBTQ community. From seasoned Olympians to first-time competitors, the list includes athletes who have bravely shared their stories and proudly represent their communities on the world stage.
This database is more than just a collection of names; it provides role models for young athletes, and helps combat stereotypes and discrimination. By highlighting these athletes, Outsports is contributing to a more accepting and supportive sports environment for all.

How Outsports Compiled the Database
The process of creating this comprehensive database was meticulous and thorough. Outsports relied on a combination of athlete self-reports, media coverage, and outreach to sports organizations and federations. One valuable resource was LGBT historian, Tony Scupham-Bilton, who runs the blog The Queerstory Files.
They also scoured social media and other platforms for public declarations and interviews where athletes shared their LGBTQ identity. This exhaustive approach ensured that the database is as accurate and inclusive as possible, capturing the true spirit and diversity of the out LGBTQ community in the Olympic Games.
